Saint Petersburg, Russia (July 2019)

“And you trade in his blood
Writing your history
In the sacrifices of the dead
Where is the fighting Man?
Am I he?
You would trade every truth
For hollow victories
And every empire will fall
Every monument crumble
Forgotten men who watch
Who watch the centuries” — Primordial, “Empire Falls”
