lyrics

OZYMANDIAS (Tiseo)
 
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said, “I’ll tell you what I saw there in the sand.
Two vast and trunkless legs in the desert stand.
The shattered fragments of an antique man.”
 
A shattered visage lies, half sunk in the sand.
With frown and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command.
Mocked and molded by the sculptor’s hand,
Paralyzed by pride, without a leg to stand.
 
Paralyzed by pride,
His heart was petrified.
Empires rise, empires fall
I see the Queen is standing tall..
 
Lady of Humility, Daughter of Divinity,
On two feet you stand, upright with beckoning hand.
Give me the ability to share in your humility,
To kneel as well as stand, to remember who I am,
A fragile mortal man.
 
I met a pilgrim from a hallowed land
On his knees he crawled up the mountaintop to stand
He had a vision of a woman dressed in blue
Her heart was bleeding for me and you…
 
Lady of Humility, Daughter of Divinity,
On two feet you stand, upright with beckoning hand,
Give me the ability to share in your humility
To kneel as well as stand, remember who I am
 
The power of divinity took on our humanity,
Like water into wine, human and divine,
So show the Son of Man to us,
Who, unlike Ozymandias,
Is the true King of Kings…
 
The lone and level sands stretch far away…far away
