Pursuit in Vanity - The Monolith Removed

Cast the stones to adjudicate
The follies of man
Expose the cracks of the foundation
And let it rot away
Defile their legacy
As they've once done
End the celebration of fiction
And recognize past sins

Remember their deeds
Remember their names
The monolith removed
Relights the flame
Remember their deeds
Remember their names
The monolith removed
Relights the flame

The ideals of man
Cast in stone or steel
Impurities distilled
A monument remains
The ebb and flow of time
Reveals the flaws inside
Once whitewashed with brazen lies
Erase their honor, now denied

Slaves of body and of mind
Conquered by your past
Kill the masters put before you
And slay your doubt
Embrace the power you possess
A gift to all mankind
Build your future to your design
Hate's foundation rots away

The ideals of man
Cast in stone or steel
Impurities distilled
A monument remains
The ebb and flow of time
Reveals the flaws inside
Once whitewashed with brazen lies
Erase their honor, now denied

Speak out for peace
(Rise up, guide your path)
Confront untruth
(Seek your salvation)
Cast off your chains
(Now unbound)
Change the system that is predicated on a lie

I will not forget
I can forgive
To bring me peace
But, I will remember
To live outside of fear
Hoping to end this cursed mistake

The ideals of man
Cast in stone or steel
Impurities distilled
A monument remains
Tear down the lies
Built to dominate
Shroud their acts in permanence
For all to see

The ideals of man
Cast in stone or steel
Impurities distilled
A monument remains
The ebb and flow of time
Will expose the flaws inside
Once whitewashed with brazen lies
Erase their honor, now denied

Tear down the lies
Destroy hypocrisy
Shroud their acts in permanence
For all to see
The ebb and flow of time
Reveals the flaws inside
Once whitewashed with brazen lies
Erase their honor, now denied

Slaves of body and of mind
Conquered by your past
Kill the masters put before you
And slay your doubt
Embrace the power you possess
A gift to all mankind
Build your future to your design
Hate's foundation rots away
