Anachronaeon - The Futile Quest lyrics

You all wish that you could leave a trace Oblivion will devour the human race A tyrant dies, another tyrant takes the throne A historic triumph is carved into a stone Blood is shed to obtain domination But d**h is watching through the eyes of a future king You all wish that you could leave a trace Oblivion will devour the human race The sun will die down - all will be lost The achievements that you made at any cost Behold! Your buildings are falling to the ground Let this be told! Your head is removed without a sound History repeats itself! Another tyrant claims your throne Memento mori! Now you are nothing but a pile of bones The lives you destroyed, the things you did Was it worth a name in the human history The life your lived, always watching your back Paranoid - just waiting for the next attack [Chorus:] Dreams of greed will blind you And know that d**h will find you Though mankind will never see It's a futile quest for immortality Your father died and you inherited his business You feel you have to prove him wrong even in d**h You treat your staff like sh**, just to make an extra buck You must be proud of what you have become You all wish that you could leave a trace Oblivion will devour the human race Behold! Your empire is falling, your stocks are worthless Let this be told! Your failure is documented in the press History repeats itself! A ruthless businessman takes your place Memento mori! In the end we'll all become a pile of bones The lives you destroyed, the things you did Was it worth a name in the human history The life your lived, never looking back Obsessed by proving yourself to your dad [Chorus:] Dreams of greed will blind you And know that d**h will find you Though mankind will never see It's a futile quest for immortality
