Towers Lyrics

March forth through
ghost cities.
Enforced edification.
The river of exiles deserts
the ashes.
Leaves lifeless debris.

A vista of footprints spread
before us.
A pilgrimage of indentured
spirits.
We cling to the promise of gifts
we shall never receive.
For the unborn.

ln dust, in blood,
colossus Stones birthed.
Generations of labour ignite.
Distant ray oflight.

Gold forged and gleaming.
Ascending.
We dig out mountains to
the sky.
Flourishing.

From quarries of serpentine
Tinos' pillars arise.
Foundations of greater times.
Symbol of our might.

An undertaking
for my kin.
We build castles to the sky.
Flourishing

Brick by stone by bold libation.
Ziggurats.
Gilted ossuary tolling.
Grand sepulcher.

Lifted earth.
Azure conquered
Enlighten. Honour.

As towers reach up to the stars,
shadows lengthen into the light.
Eclipse of noble edifice.
Penumbral healing of our scars.
