Lyrics
Upon ancient steps
Referring to an old set of stairs or structure
Where civilization once ascended and took it's final breath
Describing the decline and collapse of a civilization
I felt my soul decay
Feeling a deterioration of one's essence or spirit
Crumbling like the elder vines spreading razors through poisoned veins
Personal decay likened to the degradation of old vines spreading toxins
Another bearer of the mark of Kane
Identifying as someone marked by a legacy or curse
bones grow weak and muscles ache
Experiencing physical weakness and pain
I watched my reflection become grey and turn to ash upon the staircase
Observing a reflection losing vitality and turning to ashes
A Blink in the abyss of time
Comparing life to a brief moment in the vastness of time
Dragging agony through epochs
Dragging immense pain through different eras or periods
That colossal wreck buried far way
Referring to a significant wreckage buried in a distant place
Our grand ego decayed beneath the burning waves
Symbolizing the decline of human pride and arrogance
But it was our life
Acknowledging that the decay is an inherent part of life
The world we couldn't save
Expressing regret for the world that couldn't be preserved or saved
Parthenon crumbles as desert takes the sea
Iconic structures collapsing as nature overtakes
Withered Reichstag, barren and bleak
Describing iconic places now desolate and bleak
The seed grows as the void swallows whole
Life thriving amidst an overwhelming emptiness
Thorn Palace, the fallen have sowed
Referring to a place where the fallen have left their mark
I saw where their hearts were fed and where I would soon join them
Seeing where others found their end and realizing a similar fate
The cold smashed faces that mocked them staring lifeless at leveled sand
Witnessing destroyed faces, lifeless and scornful, amidst ruins
Thorn Palace
Repeating the title, referencing a place of both beauty and danger
