MONUMENT
Erect a shrine to power
On the blood of your people
Whether for personal glory or fame
Or for religion, oppression is the same
Slaves or fools that follow ego
Praise the name that gave us history
Stone on stone, build a monument
Throne for a king that fed delusion, vanity supreme
Only way to become immortal, architectural might
Throughout the past lingers today
Men write time by tools that work the rock
Blood in stone, flesh that built this tomb
Dynasty fades and the king is gone but his structures still remain
Temple to a god that never was, dead and forgotten
Great feats to last an age
Monumental power
Icons for future men
To measure themselves by
