Monument Lyrics

by DBC

"Perfect is the life of King" father said to me

The life was mine when he died

Too young to rule an empire, but father never lied

Perfect was the life of King

Ignore my incestuous background

I was born of God

Gods don't die, why should I?

I want to live forever, it's my divine right

But doubts begin to cloud my mind

Much has been written about father's immortality

If he hasn't died, where is he now?

Save me, I'm a victim of a mortal life

I want immortality in the memory of man

I'm only made of Flesh and Bone

I'll eventually Die

Put my name on a body of Stone

And my soul will rise

Save me, I'm a victim of a mortal life

I want immortality in the memory of man

Build me lasting monuments

Eternal forms in my name

Hide my rotting body from the claws of decay

Leave me in my peaceful sleep

So I can dream of life

" Perfect is the life of King" father said to me

But he didn't tell me life would end
