Gone Down in Flames

In the stream of history On the wheel of time While we look on ruins The spiral is running on Highest cultures Risen proud but vanished Only the stone walls remain From all the glory of the elder Cities - Gone Down in Flames Kingdoms - Gone Down in Flames Science of ancient history Mythologies too big to fail All only food for the flames... The flames Where are all the old maps? Where are the elder's writings? All knowledge and wisdom Was robbed and hidden ever since Spirits of Alexandria Karthago, Athens, Theben Where have the libaries been brought History ain't not like taught Empires - Gone Down in Flames Epochs - Gone Down in Flames Science of ancient history Mythologies too big to fail All only food for the flames... The flames Centuries and Milleniums Run like sand through our hands The collapse of cultures Has given birth to another But as the ashes cooled down And the smoke is gone We will know that history As it was taught is... wrong Empires - Gone Down in Flames The quest for the true events... remains... Gone Down In Flames
