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
