Sinking City

Watching this city of silence

Until the church bells start their concert

they violate the moment

when I should start my journey below…

Devoured by the caves that crumble

Into themselves they collapse

Pressured by the city above,

slowly the pillars will yield and take me down…

So many stories of it I have heard,

they are still echoing somehow

Sinking city with the gates of gold,

descending through the sand and sea

Riches of the empire

Left here for all to see

If I would die in this sinking city

Please bury me to the island of death…
