Memento Mori
Flying high
Above the ground
Wonderment
Of earth unbound
Mountains ranging
East and west
Gods of life
Shall never rest
I reached the clouds
And made them mine
Conquered lands
And played divine
Tamed all seas
Built mighty shrines
All for naught
In sands of time
The rule of realms
Far below me
Stolen from
Creators holy
Tiny dots on
Tiny strings
In an instant
I am king
I've flown closer
To the sun
Than possibly
Anyone
I've taken more
Than I've been given
Endless greed
Demands receiving
Hidden secrets
I've unearthed
Left me
Morally
Subverted
All the wonders
I have built
On the horrors
I've concealed
Are but scars
Upon the soil
That just bear
On in turmoil
Let rain erode
All of my sins
May grass outgrow
The tomb of kings
A fleeting thought
Of my persistence
Perishes with
My existence
Visions of grandeur
Have fueled my desire
My need to acquire
Became my own pyre
Distorted ambitions
Have led my decisions
Now I'm left to suffer
In dreadful conditions
I've flown closer
To the sun
Than possibly
Anyone
Planned to stay
And built to last
In a moment
I was dust
Above the ground
Wonderment
Of earth unbound
Mountains ranging
East and west
Gods of life
Shall never rest
I reached the clouds
And made them mine
Conquered lands
And played divine
Tamed all seas
Built mighty shrines
All for naught
In sands of time
The rule of realms
Far below me
Stolen from
Creators holy
Tiny dots on
Tiny strings
In an instant
I am king
I've flown closer
To the sun
Than possibly
Anyone
I've taken more
Than I've been given
Endless greed
Demands receiving
Hidden secrets
I've unearthed
Left me
Morally
Subverted
All the wonders
I have built
On the horrors
I've concealed
Are but scars
Upon the soil
That just bear
On in turmoil
Let rain erode
All of my sins
May grass outgrow
The tomb of kings
A fleeting thought
Of my persistence
Perishes with
My existence
Visions of grandeur
Have fueled my desire
My need to acquire
Became my own pyre
Distorted ambitions
Have led my decisions
Now I'm left to suffer
In dreadful conditions
I've flown closer
To the sun
Than possibly
Anyone
Planned to stay
And built to last
In a moment
I was dust
