Empire of Ash

[Verse]
Broken buildings shattered dreams
Night falls on silent screams
Rusty chains and empty streets
World's decay beneath my feet
[Verse 2]
Kings and queens lost to time
Valleys echo with their crime
Dusty thrones and power fades
Echoes of a past cascade
[Chorus]
Empire of ash crumble down
Lost and found this ghost town
Rise and fall like a storm
Chaos now the only norm
[Verse 3]
Once so grand now a husk
Whispers linger in the dusk
Banners torn and banners frayed
History’s sorrow on display
[Bridge]
Voices rise a distant choir
Burning in the flames of ire
Tales of glory tales of pain
Stories left in acid rain
[Verse 4]
Desolation shadows creep
Lost in time where ghosts weep
Monuments to what was grand
Slipping through the hour’s sand
