The Rise and Fall of EmpiresAn empire rises,
When the trees are in their prime,
Until axes can be heard ringing all the time,
And the waters start to rise above the plimsoll line
An empire dies,
When the old men of the forest,
Are cut down with the rest,
Leaving the sun to do the...

Empires of WarEmpires rise,
Legions fall.
Men and women live through it all.
Empires fall,
Legions cross the sea.
Families with men they never again will see.
Empires no more,
Legions disappear.
War is done and people no longer live in fear....

In the Wake of EmpiresI anticipate
the marching campaigns
of your fingertips,
the mapping of vexed trails
to be conquered
those relentless, lawless, crusades
over every sensitive summit.
You've built empires
over my every nerve
and toppled each
with gratifying urgency.
Ah! My Lover,
my one man Dynasty
the way you command my passion
and possess the...

Loud As EmpiresWith regardless grace,
The dawn succeeds.
We, the midnight revolutionaries,
Are as loud as empires
In the calling black.
The day comes. Our words refuse her....

EmpiresSo much for the thrill of rule, of control,
I've had my fill, though I've burdened no throne.
Tis a small, poisoned mind temptation stole,
and loaned cursed gold no greed could condone.
Natural to men - are we not born in fear? -
to see our brothers as...

Empires Slowly FallThe sun will shine and
Lovers will dine and
It don't really matter if
You don't know why
Clouds up in the sky
Will keep on floating by
Even if you ease your mind
So, give it a try
The ants will still crawl
Empires...

Empires DreamDream, dreams of empire
in realms vision scapes
an infinite fire…
Standing, casting away all thoughts
onto the shores of a world afar
As the Red Sea’s meet
in between the emerald seams
of a violent life, on a lazy horizon
A distant future’s weight building
in the inner walls of...

From Empires To PawnsIt might be cliche but we must right all our wrongs.
Bringing downfall to the susceptible ones.
I know I am not.
One to preach.
But truth and dignity, from which I Believe.
Come old faithful one.
Enlighten by my Sun.
Shaping the fortunes for worlds to come.
Denying all grief.
For I am...

EmpiresEmpires.
Over the massive easterly ridge I see thousands of soldiers,
in splendid golden helmets, marching down the slope pushing
shadows, the residue of night, in front of them.
There is a momentary lull as a wayward cloud blocks the sun,
but the attack resumes and soon the...

Caressing dead erroded figures
Gently hewn impressions jest knowingly
Laughing madly now only pitied
Quieted remaing stagnant
Tired useless vessles °

Beyondmy destiny stems far and beyond
born with the spiritual
no need for a magic wand
within, ancient wisdom corresponds
people unintentionally fear the black swan
I’m a freedom fighter better than Flynn from the movie Tron
the force in me is strong, as I skywalk with Han
ideas constantly, sprouting like...

Tidal WhirlpoolInto the darkness I drove the line.
With sudden persistence I stuck their spirits.
Questions arose about my faith.
Under the shadows the powers of the air quake.
Through blended fields I struck their souls.
Yoking my aura deep into the earth.
Waking the mountain it never crumbled.
Ascending the moon, we...
