Thorn Palace

Upon ancient steps where civilization once ascended
And took its final breath
I felt my soul decay, crumbling like the elder vines
Spreading razors through poisoned veins
Another bearer of the mark of Cain
Bones grow weak and muscles ache
I watched my reflection become gray
Turn to ash upon the staircase
A blink in the abyss of time
Dragging agony through epochs
A blink in the abyss of time
Dragging agony through epochs
A blink in the abyss of time
Dragging agony through epochs
A blink in the abyss of time
Dragging agony through epochs
Agony through epochs
That colossal wreck
Buried far away
Our grand ego decayed beneath the burning waves
But it was our life, the world we couldn’t save
Parthenon crumbles as desert takes the sea
Withered Reichstag, barren and bleak
The seed grows as the Void swallows all
Thorn Palace, the fallen have sowed
I saw where their hearts were fed and where I would soon join them
The cold smashed faces that mock them
Staring lifeless at leveled sand
Thorn Palace
Thorn Palace
Thorn Palace
Thorn Palace
