Ozymandias Lyrics

I met a traveller from an antique land who said

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the sand

And right behind them a shattered visage lies

Wrinkled lip, curling frown and piercing eyes

I am Ozymandias, the King of Kings

Look upon me mortal, look at all my things

Nothing beside me ever shall remain

Ozymandias, that was my name

I saw a wreck one time, in boundless desert bear

The subtle work portrayed a handiwork of care

The hand that mocked them,

The stony heart that fed

Tell of a sculptor who well those passions read

And on the pedestal a simple word appears

I am Ozymandias, the one that you should fear

Look upon my works ye mighty and may you despair

For Ozymandias is left in desert bear

The lone and level sands they stretch from far away

Buried in the sands of time Ozymandias decays
