hi :) i did a cover of sammy copley's song, ozymandias.
it's just really beautiful. hope i did it justice.

LYRICS:
we built houses out of sand
castles big and bold and grand
but blew them away
when morning came

you built stations and railways
and trains
I longed for far off adventures
and planes

yet we stayed by the coast
packed a suitcase for a ghost
we could take-off any time you like

I buried secrets in the dunes
you sang a love song for the moon
yet it sounded the same
when morning came

you built stations and railways
and trains
we hid like matches in boxes
and caves

full of wine and yellow light
passing ships in the night
I could take off anything you like

see you now by the coast
the one who knows me the most
I could come back anytime you like

OZYMANDIAS- Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822):
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, 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. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
