Behold a tragic display A spectacle of endless ruin Cosmos, my empire Crumbling to shards I mourn the ashes of my temple Defiled by many and scorned by many more The hymns we sang Now forgotten The congregations spread to the winds I shed the last shred of my dignity As I walk the last pillar crumble Now even the shell collapse Losing definition The ruins of my empire My treasures the wealth of my empire Turns to ashes in my mouth I inhale the scent of a thousand tomorrows As I greet them from my ruin.
