Eternalized Deception

[Verse] In the darkest of nights Shadows looming tall A man fueled by ambition Searching to defy demise He ventured far and wide Chasing an elusive light Oh Little did he know He would pay the ultimate price [Verse] With secrets whispered in ancient halls He found the forbidden key Unlocking a portal to cheat fate's cruel decree But Death She has her ways A master of her craft In a twist of cruel irony His deceit was met at last [Verse] Now frozen in time A living monument of sin His punishment forever etched The consequence of his ambition No more warmth or breath Only cold stone and regret A statue standing tall His foolishness eternalized No reset [Chorus] In the shadows he will stay (he will stay) Trapped in his grave of pride (grave of pride) A cautionary tale A warning to abide (oh-oh-oh) Ambition's price Eternally paid inside (inside) [Verse] In the whispers of the wind (whispers) His story still survives (still survives) A reminder to the living To be wary and wise Oh The price of dreams so high (so high) When blinded by desire (blinded by desire) No second chance No redemption to acquire [Verse] Oh The longing in his eyes (in his eyes) A futile plea for release (plea for release) But the statue stands unmoving A cruel masterpiece No escape from his own demise (own demise) Forever bound by his own greed (by his own greed) A solemn reminder of what not to heed [Outro] No escape from his own demise (own demise) Forever bound by his own greed (by his own greed) A solemn reminder of what not to heed [Outro]
