Lands

Dusty winds swirling whispers rum to them
History is buried in forgotten rooms
Firelight dances on artifacts cracked
Voices of ancestors silent in packs
Dust on the map is a story about sands
Echoes in the wind from forgotten lands
Ruins hold whispers, grips of the old
Treasures in the dirt, stories untold

Lands of the past where the shadows walk
Echoes in the night hear the soil talk
Stone-caught tales time refuses to fade
Ashes to empires, kingdoms we've made
Footballs tread on civilization's spine
Roads we've built crumble by design
Time bends back like a serpent's smile
Buildings stand still but fall in a while
Roads made of gold turned brittle and black
Blood-fed roots of the empire's track
Mountains once mown now they're mute with frost
History the price but the cost still lost

Sandglass pouring, eras dissolve
Riddles and relics only dust can solve
Golden mosaics on the skies now stark
But I just fade quick, left in the dark
Lanterns of wisdom once lit the skies
Ash choked the glow, civilization dies
Lost codes buried in the cave walls veins
Secrets still hum with ancestral chains

Lands of the past where the shadows walk
Echoes in the night hear the soil talk
Stone-caught tales time refuses to fade
Ashes to empires, kingdoms we've made
Walking through the lands of the past
Shadows stretched long, memories cast
Grains slip time, errors don't last
We stand on the bones of a world gone fast

Lands of the past where the shadows walk
Echoes in the night hear the soil talk
Stone-caught tales time refuses to fade
Ashes to empires, kingdoms we've made
Walking through the lands of the past
Shadows stretched long, memories cast
Grains slip time, errors don't last
We stand on the bones of a world gone fast
