Savage Garden
Mirror image of a dying civilization
At the edge of destruction
Torn apart by war, hatred, attempted genocides
Blood sacrifice
Atrocities committed in the name of false idols
Children enslaved merely for the sadistic pleasure of their ‘master’
Crusades in the name of the Christian God
A tool to wipe out the faith of an empire
A glint of bone against the night sky
The faint whisper of a stiletto drawn
Villages razed
Entire races destroyed
Echo of lives lost
And of those gained
This kingdom of hedonistic pleasures
This dominion of the lost
Muffled leaf soaring
with Winds whispering
Dark ,silent roars
ghost throughout times past.
Fatal errors fall to the blade
winter flies brightly past, reveling in plague.
