Collective Duality

We are the lost, forgotten, hopeless faces staring up at the starry night
We are the glorious, ambitious, fiery beings stand back and behold our might

Forsaken and desolate, these ghost towns reek of despair
Successful and opulent, our empires are not for the weak to share

Bloody and beaten the writhing masses are trampled underfoot as history repeats
Hungry and proud the inspired ones march on aspiring to greater feats
