Something To Remember Me By

I'll carve a song out of notes of stone My tune-cut will last generations long And it will be one to remember me by When I am dead and gone Empires may fall, and the maps might change The oceans may boil in a fit of rage But folks will be whistling a tune of mine When I am dead and gone Let me plant my pillars in the sand I won't be here when they crumble out of the sky Trunkless legs, that sneer of cold command Don't you need something to remember me by Oh, you needing something to remember me by Darkness creeps quickly and strikes too hard These songs tumble from me with their swords drawn fast And fueled by love, round the world they'll fly When I am dead and gone Let me build my castles in the sand I won't be here when they crumble into the tide Flag and fortress, molded by my hands Don't you need something to remember me by Oh, you needing something to remember me by I'll carve a song out of notes of stone My tune-cut will last generations long And it will be one to remember me by When I am dead and gone
