The Fall of a Great Empire

Oh! A mighty empire that was built 
Beneath thé shield of the sun,
Thé empire that glows of victory,
Home of great mortals that dined with glory.

Oh! The empire that marching of it warriors,
Makes the soul of it foes tremble,
Losing their confidence for war makes them humble,
For fighters flee,but war goes after thèm.

Oh! The proud mortals who confronts,
Souls of weak creatures in warfronts, 
Fought bravely to achieve their desires, 
But forgot the hints that desires also expires,

Oh!Then time came, when great warriors, 
Now aged warriors, only fight to defend their interior,
Survival their foremost goal, 
Property and properties burning into charcoal.
 
Oh! Their weakness now a book of roll in the mouth of many,
The forces of nature, now feeds on their walls,
The great empire now as dry as a bone,
In the memories of men, their dormination is gone,
Nothing is hidden under the shield of the sun.
