Ozymandias Lyrics

Maybe I was waiting for some kind of coronation

But I'm not sure why

Now my luck's run dry and it's done

I could go on praying but there's nothing else to say

'Cause it's an honest lie

To believe this fight could be won

And these long desert sands stretch far away

I was sure I had it but the looking glass, it shattered

And it cracked my faith

In the clean escape I had planned

Broken and I'm battered but it doesn't really matter

Cause it's just a game

And it's all checkmate in the end

And these long desert sands stretch far away

It's a certain self-abuse between the needle and the noose

That lets a man live on

When every sacred bond is destroyed

So I stand among the ruins and reflect upon the truth

That all I built is gone

And now my final song is just noise

And these long desert sands stretch far away
