[Intro]
Nothing … lasts …
Nothing … lasts …

[Verse 1]
we built up our towers, stone by stone,
a fortress strong and a place called home.
but the winds will rise, and walls will crack,
the years will turn, there’s no looking back.

we carved our names into ancient trees,
promised forever on shaky knees.
but roots will decay, and branches fall,
and time will blur the lines of it all.

[Pre-Chorus]
echoes fade and colors bleed,
every bond a fragile seed.
hopes planted in shifting land,
but nothing man-made will stand.

[Chorus]
we’ve sought the sky, for moments passed
we ought to cry, and yet we laugh
entire empires are built of sand
they’ll wash away for nothing man-made lasts
nothing man-made lasts

[Verse 2]
friends once were close, now they're shadows thin,
drifting like leaves on a gust of wind.
the laughter shared, all the secrets told,
now deeply burried, like veins of gold.

and lovers’ hands, once tightly clasped,
grow cold and loose, treason is unmasked.
the storms roll in, the dunes take our breath,
and all we once loved has starved to death.

[Pre-Chorus]
echoes fade and colors bleed,
every bond a fragile seed.
hopes planted in shifting land,
but nothing man-made will stand

[Chorus]
we’ve sought the sky, for moments passed
we ought to cry, and yet we laugh
entire empires are built of sand
they’ll wash away for nothing man-made lasts
nothing man-made lasts

[Break]
Nothing … nothing … lasts …

[Bridge]
the storm will come, rain will pour, rivers rise,
to flood the earth, the waves drowning our cries
no throne, no crown, no love, no soul, no name,
can outlast the tide or the winds of change.

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
we’ve sought the sky, for moments passed
we ought to cry, and yet we laugh
entire empires are built of sand
they’ll wash away for nothing man-made lasts
nothing man-made lasts.

[Outro Verse]
in the end, you stand below the stars,
and trace the lines of your fading scars.
for all we are is ashes and flame,
nothing man-made ever stays the same.

[Final Chorus]
we’ve sought the sky, for moments passed
we ought to cry, and yet we laugh
entire empires are built of sand
they’ll wash away for nothing man-made lasts
nothing man-made lasts. (nothing man-made lasts...)

[Outro]
fading… fading…
ashes… flame…
nothing… nothing…
nothing…
(nothing)
