Look on my works Ye mighty and despair Let no man question The glory that stood here Nations fell Once before my hand Thousands bowed Once to my command Now all that's left To tell the tale Is broken ruins in the sand Time's not long The end will come Burned away! In new day's sun Just hope some fraction carries on In one more tale In one more song Time is the wound we cannot heal Despite every single breath we steal Even kings of kings Must kneel Look on my works Ye mighty and despair Just words in stone And desert stretching bare From bones of ancient kingdoms past To seconds slipping through your grasp They fade the same with every day So live each moment like your last The stone erodes The skin decays And only the memory remains Burned away! In new day's sun Just hope some fraction carries on In one more tale In one more song Time is the wound we cannot heal Despite every single breath we steal Even kings of kings Must kneel Burned away! In new day's sun Just hope some fraction carries on In one more tale In one more song Time is the wound we cannot heal Despite every single breath we steal Even kings of kings Must kneel Even kings of kings Must kneel
