Out of dust they came
Unto the dust they shall return
Leaders rise and fall
History revealed their legacy, wake up
They celebrate with their glass held high
When judgment comes, they will soon know why
All earthly kingdoms end
How the mighty have fallen
Why is it that men
Can't face their mortality?
They are but mortal men
And when they die their plans all die with them
Reaping what they've sown
Cause in the end no one vexes death, no one
They celebrate with their glass held high
When judgment comes, they won't ask why
All earthly kingdoms end
How the mighty have fallen
Why is it that men
Can't face their mortality?
They build great monuments
And statues of glory
Pride and arrogance
Deceive immortality
