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
