lyrics

Ozymandias can I buy you a drink
I used to think you were imaginary
And here you are the missing link

Gosh, it's terrible how the days drag on
Must be torture in this field of flowers
Now that all your slaves are gone

Nevertheless carry on

The mob has vanished like a puff of wind
Your priests were banished and they killed your friends
Don't let me stop you go on speak your piece
To this gathering of geese

Oh the pretty face of the ruthless beast
Tell me you lost it when she threw you over
Or stumbled slightly at the least
Interlopers from the East

I hear your story and it gives me hope
You should be dangling from a golden rope
paint me a picture, must have been a close shave
Don't take it all to your grave
Ozymandias
