Lyrics: Behold, what wondrous works my hands have made! My walls and palaces, their golden towers, My trophies rich in cedar halls arrayed, The envy of all kings to know my power. My treasuries are full of captured gold, Taken from the hands of lesser men. More grain have I than granaries can hold, From subject cities full three-score and ten. My raiment is of purple silk and fine, My wives like pearls upon a silver wire; My table spread with sweetmeats and rare wine, Sparing naught in sating my desire. Far greater I than all my sleeping sires Lying in their tombs of silent stone; My monument ascending ever higher, A great Colossus on a golden throne. My everlasting glory now takes wing, My everlasting name I now declare: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
