Lyrics
Why? Why did it ever change? I remember the time Futures forward? wild and strange We were lords of the sea Lords of the air Lords of the space above everywhere Why? Who changed up these times? Who can I blame? We were young once too, you and I We were young once too, you and I You, you came after the golden age And you think that you Know better than all of us [But I?], what if we were wrong? What would that mean? We were young once too, you and I We were young once too, you and I I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
