To the Ruins lyrics

Has history taught us nothing but repetition of failure? Do the writings on the wall hold the secrets of the ancient? Forgotten scriptures Prophetic tales of misfortune Windswept and rushed away with the sands of time An unfortunate series of events And so the siren sounds The curtain calls and these great cities cripple beneath their lights Giving into a bastardized sense of renewal No monuments to be rebuilt on these empty foundations Bone by bone To the ruins with us all Brick by brick Kingdoms rise and fall So say goodnight And say goodbye
