We built cities with shattered glass Grand scrapers that reached past the clouds Carpenters of modern day Rome And warriors of worlds unrenowned It was an empire of future centuries A city that grew to the sky We had taken the land before us Had taken it in great strides The world only knew of our legends They fought to become just like ours But crumbled were the moral fortitudes That harrowed our own laws We are destroyed by the things we create Greed would demolish us all The empire comes crashing down Down from the sky it evolved

Cities of Shattered Glass
We built cities with shattered glass Grand scrapers that reached past the clouds Carpenters of modern day Rome And warriors of worlds unrenowned It was an empire of future centuries A city that grew to the sky We had taken the land before us Had taken it in great strides The world only knew of our legends They fought to become just like ours But crumbled were the moral fortitudes That harrowed our own laws We are destroyed by the things we create Greed would demolish us all The empire comes crashing down Down from the sky it evolved
