            <description><![CDATA[They told of rulers in this land / The likes of which were living free / The blood of us, the blood of them / And just a stain of memory<br />
<br />
We were lords in this land / Turning water into sand / Breathing life ablaze / Burning all we used to praise / Wander far from sight / In seasons fit for light / Breathing life astray / Our finest hour has passed away<br />
<br />
We destroyed our home / Torn between greed and strife / This beautiful paradise / Is now a barren stone<br />
<br />
They tore wounds none could ever mend / Unveiled the blackness of their hearts / The blood of us, the blood of them / And they tore the dream apart<br />
<br />
We were lords in this land / Turning water into sand / Breathing life ablaze / Burning all we used to praise / Wander far from sight / In seasons fit for light / Breathing life astray / Our finest hour has died away<br />
<br />
We destroyed our home / Torn between greed and strife / This beautiful paradise / Is now a barren stone<br />
<br />
They told of rulers in this land / The likes of which will never be / Yet the scar is in my hand / Of a doom I plainly see / The blood of us the blood of them<br />
/And a shattered memory / Yet the earth remembers them / The defiler they once called humanity / Remember (x4)]]></description>
