Destruction of an Empire

Carve it out of your cavity
The pain is nothing
Compared to the hurt
Deep down
You drown
In oceans of guilt
Rome wasn't built
In a day
That's what they say
Could have taken
A thousand years
It could have broken
In a million tears
It could have spoken
Of a billion fears
All would have fallen
On deaf ears
Goes to show
You just don't know
In which direction
The wind will blow
Which rule will slow
Into the destruction
Of an empire
