Flooding Golden Roads

There is nowhere left to go,
Down in this abandoned city,
Where I hear winds hit the road,
And lift the sand to my breathe,
I'm coughing out newspapers,
Like visions carved in stone,
The defeats that last forever,
Will never leave you alone

All I had has ended up,
Battered and shaken down,
A mountain was drowned by floods,
Wasn't worth it for this town,
Paving roads in solid gold,
The sun reflects against eyes,
And people no more look up,
To see the storms fill the sky

A mirage of fountain coins,
Appeared from dragon scales,
Resting on the ocean floor,
Colliding with a ship's sails,
The mast was battered by winds,
The ship took on the water,
The depths like a siren,
A serpent’s silent slaughter

I revisited the place,
That I had once called my home,
Until I regained my senses,
And I saw beyond the throne,
That all it had been,
Was myths pilled like boulders,
Reaching the mountain top,
Only to be the sole beholder

It's a length I now know,
Is invincible and untaken,
Can take journeys to realize,
That you've been mistaken,
The whole of time wasted,
Only to the shovel's course,
I'm leaving that all behind me,
And I feel no remorse
