Breaking Point

Here now lies wasteland

What once were great nations, now just ghosts of a forgotten world

Here now lies wasteland

Once a burgeoning life force rich with souls, now barren

Once Kingdoms stood in all their glory and power

Then the bombs dropped and fire filled the sky
The dust settled, we blew our chance, nobody left to ask why
