Lyrics
Monuments
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
With nothing to live for
We aim for a life
Given the plot
To the stories we write
United in fate
And this anthem we sing
No sheep to a shepherd
We're pawns to a king
We claim to be something more
A masterpiece, an individual
Yet we fail, miserably
Stuck in a cage called life
We sit, we wait for more
And sing the anthem of our own demise
Our own demise
Now take the crown
This is our anthem
For the dreams we choose to live
This is our anthem
For a life, for a lifetime
Given the power to mend
Our lives to our heart's content
If life's a lesson
We fail to grasp
That our lives are monuments
Built to last
Always blaming someone else
For the flaw in the plan
Our own mistakes
Create or take your chance
Preserve your dignity
If you don't want your life
To be a constant misery
Our own demise
Now take the crown
This is our anthem
For the dreams we choose to live
This is our anthem
For a life, for a lifetime
With nothing to live for
We aim for a life
Given the plot
To the stories we write
United in fate
And this anthem we sing
No sheep to a shepherd
We're pawns to a king
