Fall beneath the glistening sun, on starving earth they shatter The spires of an age of gold return to crumbling matter Cities of bejewelled splendour, bleak and white as bone The symbols of their dominance today are overthrown Spires, ashes! Reduced to earth and stone Spires, ashes! The winds of change have blown Banners raise in thousands, the mountains call our name The rivers part before us as the forests rise in flames Pillars shake and tremble to the rhythm of our feet Their lands will fear our armies and their waters fear our fleet Fall beneath the glistening sun on starving earth they shatter The spires of an age of gold return to crumbling matter That once they lived in greatness comes to nothing in our eyes From the bodies of the fallen greater days shall come to rise Cast our eyes towards the east in greater dreams of power Oracles sing devastation, nearer comes the hour Their pyramids will topple, shattered skies above the loom As empires turn to nothing, cry in God-forsaken doom! Banners raise in thousands, the mountains call our name The rivers part before us as the forest rise in flames Pillars shake and tremble to the rhythm of our feet Their lands will fear our armies and their waters fear our fleet
