Kingdom of Sorrow — Monuments of Ash

Текст песни: Monuments of Ash

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 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
