In Ruins lyrics

We will build not in iron but stone Future eyes will marvel at our empire's bones We'll survive in epochal tales Giants stride through halls that stretch to match their scale History will look at my plans, and Understand that sacrifices must be had So if I turn a blind eye, why That's the price: Millenniums demands I lie Are pharaoh's slaves to be mourned? Through him they may be reborn And I, the architect divine One thousand years to hide our crimes Now that my empire's expired Unrealized: Demolished long before its time I design a cenotaph of lies With myself adorned atop its highest spire
