Monolith Lyrics

How many years have gone by

All the wasted time

Living a common life

Still we congregate

To make peace with ourselves

And the world burning around us

Building monoliths of our own

Our words mark our headstones

Left behind when we're gone

We cannot see the sun

How do we overcome

The shadow of their monuments

Stone by stone we shape

The form we'll use to take

Our way into the light

Building monoliths of our own

Our words mark our headstones

Left behind when we're gone

Challenge yourself if you wish to grow

Sometimes progress can be slow

Even though we may not know

If in the end it was worth it

So much has been lost along the way

Forging on we've not been led astray

Our edifice still stands strong

Though foundations have come and gone

We're architects of our monolith

Overthrowing what we're stuck with

We will continue to ascend

Never reaching a plateau

When the sun will set

The architects will never know

Building monoliths of our own

Our words mark our headstones

Left behind when we're gone
