There's nothing to trust but the shifting of the sands
Burying the monuments of a once great city
An empty forum scorched in the sun
Where every door is sealed shut
These canyon walls have forgotten how to echo
Silent and still they wait for a sound
For a frail voice to churn out an echo
To bounce off the walls, cracked and wasted
Joaquin, Ulysses
The stone buildings begin to crumble
As a warm water current floods the void
I jerk my head, I kick my legs
But I am betrayed, I am betrayed
We swallow the cascades, our lungs are crushed
Our bodies are swept away, buried in dust
I jerk my head, I jerk my head
But I am alone, I am alone
