Through the Ages

Along the winding road, the damp cold

Freezing every breath, bitter suffocation

Looming in the distance, a battered hold

Crumbling remnants, towering fragments

 

Warring gods, maniacal tyrants

Scorched the earth, stained their hands

Nothing remains, embittered silence

Stolen futures, lost pasts

 

Soil unable to nurture new life

River beds parched and wilds dispersed

Petrified wood and rotted graves

Stagnant death saturates the air

 

Shattered hourglass

As centuries pass

Immortalized fossil

For ages to last
