The Fall of Elders

Blue moon shone, quiescent the night
Stones of the gods set in the sky
Bound to the earth the watchers of life
Arms raised to touch the heavens
Behold the splendor of elders
The thrones of natures reign
Survivors of a million nights and days
Embracing life, a home to all inside
A blackened cloud arrives and all hide
All eyes fixed upon the heavens
On the horizon, Armageddon's horde
Overwhelming fear of a new lord
Birds take flight, the screams warm of doom
In creatures minds, the thoughts that all life dies soon
Earth trembles from beneath
Nature cowers to the holocaust machine
Eden's purity diseased
Thrones destroyed the crown's been seized
Winds of rapture doth blow
The children weep for thee
Your kingdom falls from grace and majesty
A ravaged wasteland of stumps, butchered
Torso's and limbs lie pulped
No bird song remains
Only the murmuring whirl of blades
Scorn for the ogres of conquest
The tyrants of concrete thrones
Only to rise and fall on their own
