Glory Of The Past

How I long for the once great civilizations
When a warrior was treated as a hero
Exalted by his homeland, rather than forsaken

How I long for the ancient tribes
Rank decided by your merit
Honor achieved through battle

How I long for the days of old
The simple technologies
Striving to learn more

How I long for that which has passed
Fearing that which is now
And that which is forthcoming
