Blood spilled upon the sands of time, the years passing by take their toll Atrocities of ages gone, their tales forgotten and old Another wicked tyrant reigns in terror, another city falls Through thousands of years and millions of deaths we learn nothing changes at all Lost from memory Abandoned...by time Through ages of depravity Abandoned...by time Though we thought the time was done when man preys on man like beast Man is just an animal, its hunt for power will never cease The ones who rule use you as a tool to meet their ends Their hunger never sated, their bloodlust infinite Lost from memory Abandoned...by time A dark age of brutality Abandoned...by time Look at all the horrors Across the centuries Volcanic explosion Brings kingdoms to their knees Left a smoking ruin Smoldering decay Buried beneath the ashes Lies shattered remains It all passes by, beyond your control your control The march of time keeps pressing on, devoid of any sould Witness your mortal life fade into the pass As all you have known and all you have loved disintegrate into ash Into ash! Can't find a solution for your harrowing distress Impermanence of all you see renders it meaningless Those in your life one by one passing on Who will speak of them when a thousand years are gone NONE! Abandoned by time
