Empires of Ash

On these frostbitten plains I await
 A withering realm, a mere shadow of its former self
 Dilapidated and lonely
 We chose to fight for a cause
 Honour, pride, dignity, and love
 Through the passage of time, it became exposed
 Attempting to reclaim what was never ours
 From the pebbles that dance in the rivers
 To the leaves that glide in the wind
 The rays that warm the pastures
 And the rain that spawns new life
 We were once one
 Now blinded by selfish deceit
 Drifting further and further away
 We were once one
 Now blinded by selfish deceit
 We drift further away
 Through ashes of our once great host
 Travel through continents to lands unknown
 Yet we witness faceless clones of our adopted reality
 Transcendence non-existent
 The final bell begins to toll
 Far from redemption
 We slowly burn all scrolls
 Extinction, we beseech
 ♪
 Anguished, I tread
 Wondering why?
 Watching all die
 Empires of Ash, cry!
 From the pebbles that dance in the rivers
 To the leaves that glide in the wind
 The rays that warm the pastures
 And the rain that spawns new life
 No longer shall we rise above our failures
 No longer shall we chant
 The end is nigh
 We interred our kingdom...
