The glowing embers dance,

Frolicking among the ashes,

Left by the flames of empires great,

Now reduced to rubble,

Yet with their past forever burned,

Into the memories of those who can recall the days of glory,

And the songs that will be sung in remembrance,

Of places now in legend.

The glowing embers dance,

Cavorting amongst the ruins,

Knowing they walk the paths,

Of great epics to be retold.
