Lyrics:
1."Ashes of Idols"
This archaic city of bygone glory
Erupts into flames
Millenia of passed down knowledge
Now just smoke and ash
Flowing in the wind that brushes your face

You look for sanctuary
You look to your god of love
All you see is snowfall
Of blackness from above
Your heroes have fallen
No saviors to be found
Your once mighty idols
Are ashes on the ground

The fall came decades before these flames
The marble and granite beauty remain
The ultimate price of decadence is decay
And you know the piper will always be paid
You fear that cost yet only you are to blame
This time with blood and shame

You look for sanctuary
You look to your god of love
All you see is snowfall
Of blackness from above
Your heroes have fallen
No saviors to be found
Your once mighty idols
Are ashes on the ground

Time has passed since your empire fell
A new city rises up
Built on the bones of your forgotten demise
This story cycles over again
For we will never learn
For the ashes of idols we yearn
Our primal instinct is one of war
This city is our urn
For the ashes of idols we yearn

2. "Farewell to the Philosopher King"
Residing in this current land
Where gold and riches buy every hand
Here you'll hear the puppeteers sing
They'll never allow a philosopher king

Outside the abyss in this objective world
The feeble rule with greed unfurled
And when the lies have lost their sheen
The philosopher king is but a dream

There is no glory worth pursuing
In this civilization now in ruin
Here you'll hear the fallen cry
Philosopher king goodbye
