Ancient ruins teach us rich historical truths.

Ancient Cities, edifices of the past
Your glorious moments are now just heaps of rocks
Darkened hallways once lit by shimmering candle light
Dusty rooms once enthroned royalty
Ancient cities, crumbling greatness

Ancient cities, historical tutor
A study of life and death, war and peace, hatred and love
Burned out temples once full of worshippers
Deteriorated thrones beheld monarchs
Ancient cities, glorious ruins

Ancient cities, forlorn mentor
Tested by famine, disease and conquerors
Rotted swords once struck the enemy
Decayed crowns for nobles
Ancient cities, grand wreckage
