Monuments Lyrics


Burning Down Alaska Monuments

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now take the crown
Now take the crown

[Chorus]
This is our anthem
For the dreams we choose to live
This is our anthem
For a life, for a lifetime
[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now take the crown
Now take the crown

[Chorus]
This is our anthem
For the dreams we choose to live
This is our anthem
For a life, for a lifetime
[Outro]
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
