The Best Laid Plans

Lyrics

Building monuments to yourselves Like you didn't know you'd just be watching them decay Haunting your own graves 'cause you have nowhere else to go Like once the last memory is gone, you think you'll fade Ain't that a shame So many pretty words were wasted on the past When all you are is ghosts The best laid plans have all been buried in the sand Prophets and historians alike will all perish in time You're not eternal, you are nothing but spirits and insects The best laid plans have all been buried in the sand Tyrants and emperors alike will be gone in a breath Oh the arrogance, would you spit in the eyes of the one who created you Oh you have so little time Spending it so carelessly, surprised when it goes fast Wasting days and nights arguing meaning and intent It's all so dull, but how would you have known it wouldn't last Ain't that a laugh You've spent eternities here searching for the truth Did you think you had a chance
