1. MARBLE RUINS

Omnis cum in tenebris praesertim vita laboret

Long time ago, a marble city
Elegant golden halls and fountains
Flaunting boundless prosperity
Land of opportunities and abundance

Greed of men
Would soon drain all the light,
Bring this city to its demise
The lowest vices of men would surface
Destroying the future for their own kind

One by one would flee leaving their homes behind
Years would pass for the wandering migrants
Life would make them forget their broken land
Buried in time, will they ever come back?

Greed of men
Drained all the light
Brought the city to its demise
The lowest vices of men surfaced
Destroyed the future for their own kind

Ages passed by for the lost land
Nature swallowed the old ruins
Ivies creeping around tall towers
Embracing what was left
Of a declined civilization
Gone forever from history
