Desolate and Forsaken,Eerily Moaning Dark Winds
|
Murmur Incantations,Dusk Calls Forth Shadows
|
Spirits of the Glorious Dead Lingering,Bound to this Place
|
They Whisper of Untold Sagas,of Long Dead Cities
|
the Seven Shining Cities Sacred to the Aphkhallu
|
of Ages Past when the World was Young
|
When Babylon was Blessed of Marduk
|
and the Sound of her Armies was the Blare of Ominous War Horns
|
and the Clash of Immortal Cymbals
|
of Bronze Gates Arrayed in Splendour
|
and Magnificent Walls of Sunbaked Brick of Temples of Marble
|
and Bloodstained Altars,Long Before the Jeweled Throne of Ur
|
Fell Silent and Turned to Dust
|
Beneath the Endless Shifting Sands
|
and the Inevitable Vengeance of the Elements
|
