Death of Empires

Death of Empires

Old-world fades, the empire dies,

in forgotten books filled with lies,

barren promise, empty platitudes,

hubris lurks in hollow attitudes.

Malevolent empire, on your knees,

burnt out quick in the breeze,

embrace the world of ash and smoke,

now rest eternal your evil yoke.

Pass away, pass away, we hear no more,

of evil deeds on foreign shore,

nor thieving twists or crimes of hate,

we embrace your fall, embrace your fate.

The Arch of history, has your name,

inscribed, the truth, your endless shame,

now fade away with sands of time,

unforgiven for all your crimes.
