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 Death 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 Death 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 death You treat your staff like shit, 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 Death will find you Though mankind will never see it's a futile quest for immortality
