Reach for the stars

Higher and higher

Pillars of arrogance scraping the skies

Long for the resources

Seeper and deeper

Ripping the earth to reach the core

Confidants of greed

Try to fill the insignificance of life

Trying to stuff the void inside

Ambassadors of hate

Ride Ares' chariot across the face of Gaia

In the shadow of your perishableness

Your monuments will crumble

Your cities will fall

Your bodies will rot

Reduced to earth

To nourish the maggots

Predestined to outlive us all

That your existence

Finally has had a purpose

Rise to reign

Fall to dust

Enjoy your short dominion

In the face of death

Rise above the skies

Rot below the ground

Fertilize what raised you up

Down in the dirt

Where your race belongs

No matter if beggar or king

Waste of breath, doomed to die

Your race is ephemeral

And so are you

A thorn in the eye of Thanatos

A glimpse in eternity
