Monuments

With nothing to live for, we aim for a life
 Given the plot to the stories we write
 United in fate and this anthem we sing
 No sheep to a shepherd, we're pawns to a king
 We claim to be something more
 A masterpiece, an individual
 Yet we fail, miserably, stuck in a cage called life
 We sit, we wait for more, and sing the anthem of our own demise
 Our own demise, our own demise
 Now take the crown, now take the crown
 This is our anthem
 For the dreams we choose to live
 This is our anthem
 For a life, for a lifetime
 Given the power to mend
 Our lives to our heart's content
 If life's a lesson we fail to grasp
 That our lives are monuments built to last
 Always blaming someone else
 For the flaw in the plan our own mistakes
 Create or take your chance, preserve your dignity
 If you don't want your life to be a constant misery
 Misery
 Now take the crown, now take the crown
 This is our anthem
 For the dreams we choose to live
 This is our anthem
 For a life, for a lifetime
 With nothing to live for, we aim for a life
 Given the plot to the stories we write
 United in fate and this anthem we sing
 No sheep to a shepherd, we're pawns to a king
