Green Lung - Ozymandias Lyrics

Green Lung Lyrics

"Ozymandias"

A traveller from an antique land
Wandering alone
Told me he found a ruin in the sand
Two vast legs of stone
The pharaoh's statue lay there
Three thousand years undisturbed
A pedestal loomed, monumental
Upon it were written these words

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair
Yeah, Ozymandias, King of Kings
He rules a desert boundless and bare
Yeah

The traveller stared at the face of the king
Shattered in the sand
Under the crown of the cobra coiled
He sneered with cold command
His kingdom once had been endless
Like that of Ashurbanipal
Now he looked out at a desert
One day all empires must fall

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair
Yeah, Ozymandias, King of Kings
He rules a desert boundless and bare
Yeah

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair
Yeah, Ozymandias, King of Kings
He rules a desert boundless and bare
Yeah

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings
