Has history taught us nothing but repetition of failure?   Do the writings on the wall hold the secrets of the ancients?   Forgotten scriptures   Prophetic tales of misfortune   Wind-swept and rushed away with the sands of time   An unfortunate series of events   And so the siren sounds   The curtain calls and these great cities cripple beneath their lights   Giving into a bastardized sense of renewal   No monuments to be rebuilt on the empty foundations   Bone by bone   To the ruins with us all   Brick by brick   Kingdoms rise and fall   So say goodnight   And say goodbye
