Even the Gods Must Die

Invoked in stone

Of epic proportion

Was his temple of pillars

Magnificent colossal

Humbling all who entered its sacred halls

Yet now fallen to decay and ruin

Its past grandeur

Obscured by the cruelties of time

The priests of the temple

Dead all dead

And fallen to dust

Their undying whispers of despair

Echo amongst sand strewn

Broken paving stones

Desolation desolation

The end of days

The glory of the gods

Is put out

Like a reed torch

In the water

The roof of the house of Amun is fallen

Even the gods must die
