falling empires
this is the end. this is the beginning. and everything in-between. there are no fallbacks and there are no plans. but we are eternally free. that's something! and we are eloquent when it comes to hiding our real intentions. we keep up appearances and we can adapt. still, we can be disarmingly beautiful. we love the strange but vote for the conservative. we drink responsibly and play it safe. we are the best of the best - ready to unleash the darkness through our unapologetic way of reflecting the innocent yet merciless light of the sun. this is the end. this is the beginning. and everything in-between.
