Tides of battle rise and fall.
Echoes of valour rise and fall.
Heroes of honour rise and fall.
Civilisations rise and fall.
Powerful leaders rise and fall.
Weak minded leaders rise and fall.
Memories of battles rise and fall.
Lessons learnt rise and fall.
One thing is constant throughout it all,
And that is Father Time who looks o'er all.
