A breath (breath) of wind cuts through the haze, We stand (stand), unmoved in our selfish daze. Echoes (echoes) of the past (past) whisper through the night, Yet we cling to illusions of fleeting light. The tides will turn, they’ll sweep us all away (away) No empire built can defy decay. we've sought the sky, for moments passed/ we ought to cry, and yet we laugh/ entire empires are built of sand/ N they'll wash away For nothing man made lasts/ ...nothing man made lasts (lasts). In silence (silence), the earth begins to groan, We write (write) our names on crumbling stone. A fleeting (fleeting) mark, erased by time’s cruel hand, Nothing built by man will ever stand (stand). "Oooohhh... ahhhh…" The sky (sky) we sought (sought), has shattered at our feet, An endless cycle, history’s deceit (deceit). Through ashes (ashes), we’ll build again and fall, For nothing (nothing) man creates will stand at all (at all). The tides will turn, they’ll sweep us all away (away) No empire built can defy decay (decay). we've sought the sky, for moments passed/ we ought to cry, and yet we laugh/ entire empires are built of sand/ N they'll wash away For nothing man made lasts/ ...nothing man made lasts (lasts). Nothing... lasts... (lasts) Nothing... lasts... (lasts) Nothing... lasts... (lasts)
