City of the Silent

Under another monument sleeps the dust of war
Things never to be known or seen
The disgraced
The feeble rebellion is no more
Temples and statues of dust
Remnants of dying gods in a dead world

Slaves and priests now praise the dead
The sun drowns in dark and they are forgotten again
The unworthy, the ceaseless violence
All sins cleansed
A city in silence

Desecrated, crumbled from within
The secret's in the ruins
Stained with blood and sin
Self-destruction
Swallowed in madness
The process has begun

Immortal whispers speak of ancient tales
Lives of futile order, an end in chaos
Fields of blood and bone
A kaleidoscope of horror buried in endless war
Antagonism of life and time
It comes to take all light

Peasants and kings now praise the dead
The sun drowns in dark and they are forgotten again
The unworthy, the cruel and violent
Eternal purgatory
City of the silent

Civilizations of wasteful pleasure, greed and deceit
Disappear forever
Liberated from their imperfections
