Ozymandias

Sink your teeth on your empty heart
Figure out how you end up like this
See yourself teared apart, face the abyss
That you dug by yourself

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed
Lives in the realm dust and ash

King of Kings, means nothing
When your eyes shut, gone forever
King of fools, no power trip makes you any helpless
To the only certain

King of Kings, means nothing
When your eyes shut, gone forever
King of fools, no power trip makes you any helpless
To the only certain

Building castles on the sand
Held by the blood of those you betrayed
Nothing is left to pray, nothing is left to see

Wind blows your fallen empire
Make the sands move, dissolving your name
Facing your fate, swallowed by the time

King of Kings, means nothing
When your eyes shut, gone forever
King of fools, no power trip makes you any helpless
To the only certain

King of Kings, means nothing
When your eyes shut, gone forever
King of fools, no power trip makes you any helpless
To the only certain

A fortress made of mud and sand
Hollow walls, moving ground
People crawling to your toes

Nothing besides remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
