Elegy II: Devise

Desolate, a sea of rubble and debris
 They've come to avenge their burning lands
 Desecrate, the city crumbles under their feet
 The pestilent forage of all who remain
 Nevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy persists throughout our history
 From ancient ages to modern times, these untold atrocities have amassed
 Permeating the ground
 The soil soaks up their blood
 Divest this reaping hand
 Two alphas cannot share the fruits of existence
 ♪
 Treacherous tales unfold as the undying hour
 Of bloodshed reaps and sows the weary and the weak
 Powers of new blood now play god with maniacal ease
 They shall enslave all
 They shall enslave all
 ♪
 So we sing ourselves to sleep
 When the strong overtake the weak
 The cities burn, the bridges bend
 Now we lay our heads to rest
 So we sing ourselves to sleep
 When the strong overtake the weak
 The cities burn, the bridges bend
 Now we lay our heads to rest
 ♪
 The winds of change oust the inept
 Powers come and go
 A fool's existence subject to their terms
 Loss roams on neglected
 Some eyes have not seen a day
 Spared of loss, litany, anguishing pain
 Sterile of reasoning
 Hopeless, it's hopeless
 Trying to outwit the colossal construct of life itself
 No matter where you are in this world
 You'll always have what they want
 Defaced human creations
 Memoirs of fallen cultures blanket the blood red ground
