The Ruins / Memorial

I wander the ruins of a world passed
Alone I remain to witness the decay
Empires rise and fall
But I will always live on
Cold the hearts of mortals, crippled by disease
War and hatred brought them to their knees
Turned into ash, the fires burned on and on
Swallowed by the ground, their monoliths crumbled
Havoc and chaos ensued, and the sky was red
Greeting the horizon of the bloodstained ground
The last cries of the battle died out long ago
Scattered were the bodies of mirrored mortal foes
I wander the ruins of a world passed
Reflections are all that I possess
Empires rise and fall
But forever I last to journey on
If only they had learned from the bloodshed
Now the earth is dark and the empires dead
…and I live on
