Monuments of Ash - Kingdom of Sorrow

Blood and hope seep into the cracks

Of a flawed foundation

Corruption knows no bounds

In a con­demned and crumbling nation

The monuments of ash

Rebuilt from the remains

Like the centuries of past

Must be laid to waste again

Under archaic rule

Nothing thrives in the dust that they’ve creat­ed

The fallen empires tell us

What is known now must be forgotten

No more worship of the idol’s stone

No more will shame infect our homes

We are that which seeks itself, the seeking, and the sought

The monuments of ash

Rebuilt from the remains

Like the centuries of past

Must be laid to waste again

The monuments of ash

Empires fall and bridges burn

Like the centuries of the past

Humanity will never learn

No one can thrive under tyranny’s grasp

And when the final shadow is cast

We’ll all be dust along the path

To the monuments of ash

Rebuilt from the remains

Like the cen­turies of past

Now laid to waste again

Empires fall and bridges burn

But humanity will never learn

No one will thrive under tyranny’s grasp

And when the final shadow is cast

We’ll all just be dust along the path

To the fucking monuments of ash
