Fallen Epochs

“Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty and dies with chaos.” — Will Durant

Declare exceptional moments null
The void inescapable
A post-apocalyptic city in ruins
Reclaimed by haunted epochs.

Forged by steel and iron
Obliterated in time
The plan hatched,
The coup set in motion.

Displace barren falls
In these streets filled with rage
The epochs of emperors
End fragmented places.

Annals of darkened voices
Rusted steel and iron
The plan failed of men
The coup crushed in place.
