This thing all other things devours; Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws irons, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.

Is it... rain?

Very plausible answer ... acid rain kills metals, kills statues, kills buildings. Rain soften mountains to molehills. Hmm, to an extent all living creatures 'devour' rain water to survive, but does rain slay kings? Maybe only their crown.

Jepp... You're right. It's time...

Here's another one:

I dance and breathe and can even deceive. I am not alive, yet watch how I thrive. Do not come too near or I will eat you my dear. What am I?
