Leonard Cohen’s ‘Ozymandias’

I’ve heard there are two legs of stone,

Both vast and trunkless, all alone,

And near a broken face with sneer unsightly.

For miles around no works are near,

Yet on the stand these words appear:

“Look on my works and feel despair, ye mighty!”

…Ozymandias… Ozymandias…

…Ozymandias… Ozyma-a-a-a-ndias…
