Ozymandias
What happened to my home
I commanded my own red seas
Gave them the god they wanted
Told them he looked like me
What happened to my throne
How will they hear my voice
They saddle me with failure
They leave me little choice
I will not succumb to logic
I will not be beaten here
I've done every wicked thing you asked
I should have nothing left to fear
We covered their well of plenty
Gave them a new mother tongue
I brought the gift of violence
I taught you how to go numb
I will accept no losses
There is nothing to atone
I will be your rising sun
I will die alone
I gave you a beast to run from
I gave you the will to escape
Within my walls you have purpose
I have accepted your fate
You will be lost without me
Who will lead you to a noble end
You'll have no grave to dance on
No wire fences to defend
I will accept no losses
I will never atone
Victory dies with me
And I will die alone
I commanded my own red seas
Gave them the god they wanted
Told them he looked like me
What happened to my throne
How will they hear my voice
They saddle me with failure
They leave me little choice
I will not succumb to logic
I will not be beaten here
I've done every wicked thing you asked
I should have nothing left to fear
We covered their well of plenty
Gave them a new mother tongue
I brought the gift of violence
I taught you how to go numb
I will accept no losses
There is nothing to atone
I will be your rising sun
I will die alone
I gave you a beast to run from
I gave you the will to escape
Within my walls you have purpose
I have accepted your fate
You will be lost without me
Who will lead you to a noble end
You'll have no grave to dance on
No wire fences to defend
I will accept no losses
I will never atone
Victory dies with me
And I will die alone
