All that comes with the morn goes with the eve
As of old Al-Racheed and his empire
The ancient Greeks withal never did leave
But the futile ashes after the fire
Hannibal crossing far Spain legions sent
Across the Alps to conquer Roman Rome
Of his victory he was confident
Yet he was defated by Rome right at home
Thus as ever we rise and fall in dreams
And forget for whom once we did sorrow
The world is just a paradox it seems
Glowing today may not be tomorrow.
