Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away

stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains....

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died...
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast...
