Ben Varney - Ozymandias

Each encounter that he had with the shrouded man
Amounted to around about a hunnid thousand grand
Over years built millions, his money mountains span
Fruits of his empire, many fountains stand
Sculptures of his image brought to life by countless hands
Can't expect to reap the crop if you never ploughed the land
Wants to live forever, kill anyone who doubt he can
Try stand the test of time, might as well just count the sand
Yeah, and they called him Ozymandias
Lord knows he's a testament to man's fears
Yeah
Nothin' left when the sands clear
Tryna dig his roots deep within the grand sphere
On the day he bled, every angel wept
Prints in the sand blown everytime you take a step
All feel the burden of this loan how did they forget
Life is what you owe, death is how you pay the debt

And they called him Ozymandias (Mandias, mandias)
He's a testament to man's fears (Man's fears, man's fears)
Words that he write will live forever
Too vast for the earth guess in space will fit him better
Dark is his heart, he's a wicked fella
Implement his name in the interstellar

Swear there's nothing human about this man
His name stretching as far as the boundless sands
Man of god, nah, he's a god of man, man deus
So when he comes through say your damn prayers
Left all his enemies buried and now they're nameless
World not enough, he took off in a spaceship
Ruled the galaxy heart as dark as Vader
Everybody bow when he bring the saber
All of this just to suffer another mortal death
Cancer in his body as he drew his final breath
Will his legacy survive? Only time'll test
Butterfly effect, flies in a spider web
In time, a writer would stumble across an effigy
Left rotten, left leglessly in the cemetery
The plaque invited him to marvel at his mighty works
But all he saw was broken stones lying in the dirt

And they called him Ozymandias (Mandias, mandias)
He's a testament to man's fears (Man's fears, man's fears)
Words that he write will live forever
Too vast for the earth guess in space will fit him better
Dark is his heart, he's a wicked fella
Implement his name in the interstellar
