WVRM - Thorn Palace Lyrics

Upon ancient steps
Where civilization once ascended and took it's final breath
I felt my soul decay
Crumbling like the elder vines spreading razors through poisoned veins
Another bearer of the mark of Kane
bones grow weak and muscles ache
I watched my reflection become grey and turn to ash upon the staircase
A Blink in the abyss of time
Dragging agony through epochs
That colossal wreck buried far way
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 whole
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 mocked them staring lifeless at leveled sand
Thorn Palace
