The engineer, within own circles acclaimed

Through the documented vision i learned

Of a man with vision

But within the majority, forgotten and unknown

He lived to build the grandest - the Great East

A life he succumbed to the beast

He left a modern marvel to behold

Dismantled now, no story told

His effigy forgotten, dismantled memories and steel

How sad I was to see one mans life work

An epitaph no more...

For his dream his life he sacrificed

Assumed a grandeur in post mortem

It made me ask myself

What am I to leave behind, who'll care?

He lived to build the grandest - the Great East

A life he succumbed to the beast

He left a modern marvel to behold

Dismantled now, no story told

His effigy forgotten, dismantled memories and steel

How sad I was to see one mans life work

An epitaph no more...

He lived to build the Great East

A life he succumbed to the beast

He left a modern marvel to behold

Dismantled now, no story told
