Like Nights of Broken Glass
The fall happens quickly
Warning signs had already
Been there, plain to see
Then, fuel to the flames
Until everything burns

Empires fall, bedlam reigns
The wheel of history
Crushes & maims
A fourth turning arrives
TIME COLLAPSES

Whoever is left to pick up the pieces
Will study this one day
In future history textbooks
But history is penned by the winners
And the outcome of our reckoning
Is far from settled
