From ancient tombs, the dust of kings arise
Their echoes whisper tales of valor, pride, and lies
Their crowns lie tarnished, their swords now rust
Their once-grand realms, now lost to time's cruel thrust
In halls of splendor, their laughter once did ring
Now silence reigns, where once their voices sing
Their tapestries hang faded, their banners torn
Their legacy a whisper, their glory now unborn
The dust of kings, a haunting symphony
Of fallen empires, echoes from the sea
Their recounted tales, a dirge of ages past
Their names forgotten, their legacies amassed
Through fields of war, their banners once did fly
Now trampled underfoot, beneath the ashen sky
Their swords once gleaming, now dulled and stained
Their valor lost, their names forever waned
In the dust of kings, their spirits linger still
Their echoes remain, their presence ever chill
Their legacy endures, in tales of old
A haunting melody, of kingdoms yet untold
The dust of kings, a haunting symphony
Of fallen empires, echoes from the sea
Their whispered tales, a dirge of ages past
Their names forgotten, their legacies amassed
