Ozymandias by Stones Unturned

There will be no subtle warnings
Leading to your descent from glory
Stairwells weaving, leading to a fall from grace that indicates the end

Dreams collide with sky fall
Legacy meets the dawn
(Where did I go wrong?)
A fallen citadel lifeless in decade
My grand design scattered in disarray
Failure on full display
Failure on full display

All who used to look upon my works
Now look down on me
My pride resides with the rubble
And my shame lies with the debris

All the things we thought would matter
Now we know
Futile efforts no longer show
Every future ends the same
So who cares what I became
When nothing remains?

Staring into the sun
This misconduct blinds me
Losing sight of your legacy
Gold plated ambition beckons me
Upon closer inspect rust surrounds the sheen
I tore a page from my own fucking book
Hard work disguised as apathy

All who used to look upon my works
Now look down on me
My pride resides with the rubble
And my shame lies with the debris

All the things we thought would matter
Now we know
Futile efforts no longer show
Every future ends the same
So who cares what I became
When nothing remains?

Fate will tell another's story
As you ascend to purgatory
A kingdom buried, carried to a hallowed place that indicates the end

King of kings
Thrown from his thrown
Endless nightmare
Boundless and bare, ohh

Every, every, everything fades
Nothing, nothing, nothing remains

All who used to look upon my works
Now look down on me
My pride resides with the rubble
And my shame lies with the debris

All the things we thought would matter
Now we know
Futile efforts no longer show
Every future ends the same
So who cares what I became
When nothing remains?
