Build up your monuments
Pile dust upon ashes
Bury your soul amongst the wealth and sacrifice the lust for self
Dig until you find a purpose much greater then that defined
Bestow the self-righteous with silver pyre collecting silt
Burning of endless time, grateful demise
Corrupted of common manor
Synthesized by a false demeanor for so long we've placed desire above pleasantry's guilt
Desperately crave status taken from the commonwealth
Forgo is the need to survive
Possession fills the need consuming life
We built our empire on the foundation of desire
In the end we will all be consumed
Everything will be engulfed by fire
If we continue down this path we'll destroy ourselves
We will rot
You will all watch me burn
I collapse on the brink of survival
I draw a line in the sand
That's where I stand
Immolated in the streets as a symbol of hope
If you continue down this path then you're the misanthrope
Burnt shines and tainted wine
Lost with the withering courtesy
Build up your monuments and pile dust upon ashes
