Ubi Sunt

History turns conflict's wheel Empires rise wars for steel The struggle's endless peace so brief A fleeting dream a stolen belief History's a cycle round and round In the shadowed depths we're bound No escape from the dance of old The struggle for the world's last gold Life below safe from the sky The outside's wasteland a shattered cry Systems fail a quest ignites To find a way through endless nights Elders teach riddles and truths Journey on facing hard truths From ruins to towns choices stark Protect or hunt choose light or dark History's a cycle round and round In the shadowed depths we're bound No escape from the dance of old The struggle for the world's last gold Revolts rise secrets unfold A virus spreads mutations cold The shadows deepen the truth's untold In the cycle our story's sold History's a cycle round and round In the shadowed depths we're bound No escape from the dance of old The struggle for the world's last gold In shadows we find our plea Struggling for what may never be The cycle spins the wheel turns In shadows our history burns
