Look on My Works

With thanks to Percy Bysshe Shelley and Stezious. -- [Intro] (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) [Verse 1] Hear the tale of a traveller from an antique land who tells of two vast and  trunkless legs of stone that stand in the desert. [Flourish] (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) [Verse 2] Near them, on the sand Half-sunk a shattered visage lies whose frown, and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor  well those passions read [Flourish] We’ve sought the sky, for moments passed (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) We ought to cry, and yet we laugh (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) [Pre-Chorus] The hand that mocked them  and the heart that fed And on the pedestal these words appear [Chorus] We’ve sought the sky, for moments passed We ought to cry, and yet we laugh Entire empires are built of sand And they'll wash away,  for nothing man made lasts. (nothing man made lasts) (nothing man made lasts) [Bridge] The lone and level sands  stretch far away, For nothing man made lasts. [instrumental break: 16 bars, overdriven electric guitar solo, melodic phrasing with bends and vibrato] (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) [Flourish] [instrumental break: lead guitar solo, melodic phrasing with bends and vibrato] [Build] [Verse 3] My name is Ozymandias,  King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty,  and despair! (despair! despair! despair!) Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck boundless and bare. [Pre-Chorus] The hand that mocked them  and the heart that fed And on the pedestal these words appear [Chorus] We’ve sought the sky, for moments passed We ought to cry, and yet we laugh Entire empires are built of sand And they'll wash away,  for nothing man made lasts. (nothing man made lasts) (nothing man made lasts) (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) [build] (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) (Ooooohhhhhh) (Aaaaaahhhhhh) [Finale] The lone and level sands  stretch far away, For nothing man made lasts. (nothing man made lasts) (nothing man made lasts) (nothing man made lasts) (nothing man made lasts) [Big Finish] "My name is  Ozymandias,  King of Kings: Look on my works,  ye Mighty,  and despair!" (nothing man made lasts) (nothing man made lasts) [End]
