The horses run through my dreams tonight
There's no end in sight
To the thrill of no consequence
I saw you through the eyes of a child
The pillars of the golden age
To the rocks in the valley of Elah
Echoes of the great empires
Remnants of the stones that remain, remain
The kiss of d**h is
To know what's best for you
It's written in the days of old
The rulers of the modern age
To the stones in the temples of Ra
The embers of a dying star, oh oh
The reaches of the setting sun
To the heart where the river runs dry
Echoes of the great empires
Ambition's like a drug
You never saw the danger of
The iron grip of your desire
To spread your wings
Too close to the sun
I waited for your heart to change
Like a stronger wave
No one heart can sustain, oh oh
The pillars of the golden age
To the rocks in the valley of Elah
Echoes of the great empires
Remnants of the stones that remain
Echoes of the great empires
Echoes of the great empires
Echoes of the great empires
Echoes of the great empires
