Echoes Undying

Echoes of mesopotamia
A whispered disease that left us on knees too weak to stand
Upon this empire nature's purity revealed
Wave the sword of science, keep the truth concealed

We are the ten thousand year reich - with us let it end
To the sands of time that lent destruction a hand
Let harmful ways amend
For the path has been chosen, the damage is done
But our culture continues it's course

Sip poisoned wine from the chalice of one culture's way
Down the highways of progress we've paved
Crosses stand erect where death won the day
And we prayed our mortal souls to save

When one does not see what one does not see
One does not even see one is blind
Do we choose to close our eyes
Or is it the veil is so stained
By the treasons of our humanity
That we're helpless of knowing new ways?
A tender hush lulls us to sleep
Our hope lies shattered like broken glass
March upon hollow dreams
Take me back to an unseen past
And cleanse our minds wrecked by time
