In the future you will know
I was a relic of the past
I studied mighty, mythic leaders
Though my reign was unsurpassed
A Golden Age of gleaming wisdom
We grew sanctity in waves
We built peace atop the bones  
Of broken chains of human slaves
I cured rampant plagues of darkness
Ended famines made of greed
The dreaded flooding never ever
Could have drowned my will to lead
To see them freed, to see them strong
To see them beautiful as one
Was the dominion of my vision
My perspective was the sun
For all to bask in my regalia
My insignia emblazoned
On a banner of existence
And the hell that it was razed in
From the ashes that I bathed in
I was born the Phoenix Dragon
Breath of fire, blood of ice
And all the elements were muses  
But the earth was paradise
And with my knights and queen I conquered
Inhibition's fuedal lord
I shared his fortune with the people
Then as lion kings I roared
My pride restored to walk with cubs
Baby-stepping into light
And then Apollo came to guide us
To these otherworlds I write
