Throughout The Centuries

Ancient Kingdoms
Fought throughout time
From north to south
From east to west

From land to sea
To conquer or be conquered
Righteous defense or selfish greed
Many conflicts continues till now

Even now in the modern world
Men's greed is still felt throughout the centuries
The rise and fall of empires
Continues on

See them rise from the horizon
In battle mode, some stayed
As others flee in fear
Screams and pain brought forth
Echoing throughout the ages
A list of empires
Each with their own fate

LEAD

Kings and monarchs
Dictated the destiny of the masses
Bringing their vision into fruition
Evidence of ancient ruins documents
In different locations of the world
The power that they once had

Fools that acted upon
To conquer the world
Not realizing it doesn't last
Destroyed by internal causes?
Or by greed?

Decaying civilizations
Never learning from the past
Wars and rumors of wars

Imperfect flesh man, striving for paradise
Against each other due to turmoil
This is happening for centuries

LEAD

They ruled the land with their military might
History repeats itself
Kingdoms rose, while others declined

One thing is certain under the sun
They each have something in common...
They all cease to exist

Even now in this modern world
Men's greed is still felt througout the centuries
The rise and fall of empires
Continues on
