Babylon burning

In the heart of ancient sands, where legends intertwine, Babylon stood tall, a city so divine. Its towers reached the heavens, ambition uncontained, But little did they know, their fate was preordained. The flames licked the skies, a crimson dance of wrath, As Babylon burned bright, sealing its own path. The gods wept in silence, their tears unseen, For the hubris of mortals had set the world aflame. Babylon burning, the pyres of our greed, Smoke spiraling upward, a desperate plea. The Earth trembles, glaciers weep, As Babylon's blaze scorches oceans deep. The Hanging Gardens wept petals of despair, Their beauty fading fast, choked by poisoned air. The Euphrates whispered secrets to the wind, Of empires rising and falling, a cycle without end. The flames licked the skies, a crimson dance of wrath, As Babylon burned bright, sealing its own path. The gods wept in silence, their tears unseen, For the hubris of mortals had set the world aflame. Babylon burning, the pyres of our greed, Smoke spiraling upward, a desperate plea. The Earth trembles, glaciers weep, As Babylon's blaze scorches oceans deep. The scribes chronicled doom, etching tales in clay, Warnings unheeded, as the sun's fury held sway. The ziggurats crumbled, their Babylon burning, the pyres of our greed, Smoke spiraling upward, a desperate plea. The Earth trembles, glaciers weep, As Babylon's blaze scorches oceans deep.
