Steelwing - Ozymandias lyrics

"Wake up! Oh, dreaming king" Alone, I awaken in a casket of stone under sepulchral mould How come no-one's approaching my extravagant throne with myrrh and gold? "Wake up! Oh, dreaming king" Arise, my minions! Aeons have gone by since the light in your eyes did shine By my side you would die to serve me in the afterlife Beneath the sands Their skeletons laugh and dance Let all who pa** Hear the desert winds whisper my name: "Ozymandias, what once you had will never come back Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing..." Be quiet! I'm tired and I will hear nothing more of this perpetual bore Before this is all through, oh, like slithering maggots by my feet you will crawl Beneath the sands Their skeletons laugh and dance Now all who pa** Hear their mocking voices on the wind: "Ozymandias, what once you had will never come back Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all Ozymandias, your vanity made your kingdom bleed Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all" Fools! You'd be advised not to awaken my wrath... I gave you the world and this is how you repay me? You watched all your enemies cast into slavery The mountains did tremble In fear of your King of all Kings and His empire's means When honey and milk overflowed And the roads they were paved with gold These glorious stories of old Are now told by your withering bones Dance you f**ing puppets! Ha! "Wake up! Oh, dreaming king Wake up, Ozymandias... So, tell us: if you would rise again What would you do? What could you do When there's nothing left in this world for the likes of you? Nothing to conquer, nothing to prove For nothing ever built by the hands of men will ever last Will ever stand the test of time" Oh, how these walls beg to differ! Beneath the sands Their skeletons laugh and dance My kingdom's gone But my name will be forever known: "Ozymandias, what once you had will never come back Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all Ozymandias, your vanity made your kingdom bleed Ozymandias, you are the king of nothing at all"
