Graveyard of Empires Evans Blue

Once a Kingdom of Fire
Now a Graveyard of Empires
Headstones line the rows
To mark dreams gone astray

The ones who believe
The ones who were trusted
One by one, they fall victim
In the wake of decay

They captured the creators
And harnessed the fire
Built up their armies
And took over the field

But for all good intentions
Their greed became rampant
And it poisoned the leaders
Their true nature revealed

Locked on a path
Of waste and self-destruction
They silenced the voices
Of the creators they enslaved

They dampened the fire
And they buried the bodies
But they were powerless to
Hold the souls down in the graves
