Ozymandias
We could not go on
We're gonna die and this party will be done
The other one was gone
But the king of kings
Still lives on
Rumours go around
A Spartan warrior was waiting to be found
Old allegiance he was bound
But there was room for another
A new ruler would be crowned
I met a traveller
From an antique land
He said I'll come with you if you take my hand
But there was one man
Who stood in the way
He was the self proclaimed king from a land far away
There was a war
And it left us in ashes
With deceit and lies spread to the masses
But we didn't fall
We sent them down under
With eyes like lightning
And a face like thunder
They went down
Now all that's left
A sand covered statue in the west
Buried were his legs
But his face still remained above the rest
A message did it bear
Look on my works, ye mighty and despair
If only someone cared
Decisions still get made when you're not there
I met a traveller
From an antique land
He said I'll come with you if you take my hand
But there was one man
Who stood in the way
He was the self proclaimed king from a land far away
There was a war
And it left us in ashes
With deceit and lies spread to the masses
But we didn't fall
We sent them down under
With eyes like lightning
And a face like thunder
They went down
They called him fierce
They would do nothing if he couldn't even see us
With all your bright ideas
Please don't end up like
Ozymandias
Oh, I met a traveller
From an antique land
He said I'll come with you if you take my hand
But there was one man
Who stood in the way
He was the self proclaimed king from a land far away
There was a war
And it left us in ashes
With deceit and lies spread to the masses
But we didn't fall
We sent them down under
With eyes like lightning
And a face like thunder
They went down
Oh
They went down
We're gonna die and this party will be done
The other one was gone
But the king of kings
Still lives on
Rumours go around
A Spartan warrior was waiting to be found
Old allegiance he was bound
But there was room for another
A new ruler would be crowned
I met a traveller
From an antique land
He said I'll come with you if you take my hand
But there was one man
Who stood in the way
He was the self proclaimed king from a land far away
There was a war
And it left us in ashes
With deceit and lies spread to the masses
But we didn't fall
We sent them down under
With eyes like lightning
And a face like thunder

Oh
They went down
