Rotten Empire

World decayin', cities turnin' gray,

Lost souls payin', it's a price they sway.

Rotten empire, dreams all turn to rust,

Allies conspire, now we break the crust.

Fallen down under, the void calls,

Thunderous blunder, echo in the halls.

Iron-clad whispers, secrets in the wind,

Fate so blistered, can't escape the end.

Ashes in our veins, crawl through the night,

Living in chains, shadows take the light.

Rotten to the core, we grasp for air,

Haunted evermore, in this nightmare lair.

Darkness engulfing, minds corrode,

Heartbeats halting, on this lonesome road.

Treacherous grounds, earth begins to weep,

In silence profound, nightmares from the deep.

Embers extinguished, hope's final flare,

Time relinquished, left in disrepair.

Steel-clad tombs, echo broken trust,

Amidst the gloom, integrity combusts.

Shattered reflections, faces we don’t know,

Twisted affections, in the cold wind's blow.

Stranded in the ruin, memories erode,

In the twilight’s ruin, destiny’s code.
