Civilizations Lost lyrics

In pursuit of grandeur extravagant

Cities dense grow towering, extending

But in its substance natural laws apply

A self regulating realm unabated

Ruling unchallenged in its conclusion

Humanity ever ambitious, carelessly so

Finds pride in accomplishment

Not realizing its transience

Like a child stacking blocks

Built larger, lavishly ever more so

To excel in history's grand structure

Doomed to the fate obscure

Destroyed from within

When individuals outweigh all

When veiled intentions overtake

Sensibilities realistic, foretelling

Lost amid the earth's bastions

And the forests impermeable of time
