Ozymandias

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
