Narcissus - Hope For The Dying

It stands to reason

A mans worth is the sum of all his wealth

Possessions he has gathered up

Living it up for the moment

And never slowing down

Lost in the dream

Building life on a

Foundation of fame

Notoriety

Without any shame

Most never knowing

That we were built for so much more

I’d write my name in stone

Standby and watch the world crumble to the ground, crumble to the ground

It wouldn’t have any meaning

As even stone is ever fleeting

Like carving your name in the wood of a ship that’s long been sinking

Our life is lost and forgotten at the bottom of the sea

Selfish, heartless

Constantly searching for our eternity

Build it up till it all starts falling down

And build it up again

Engineers of our own fate

We’re not giving it up

I am the king of

What I want to rule

But it’s dragging me down

It’s dragging me down

Build it up till it all starts falling down

And build it up again

Engineers of our own fate

We’re not giving it up

I am the king of

What I want to rule

But it’s dragging me down

Burn it down

Tear it down

Silver and gold

Valued at nothing

When we are gone

Interchangeable with dust

To regard our souls

Lacking empathy

Will end in…
