lyrics

Verse1:
Seeking importance by losing your soul
Immortal glory through fire and smoke
Life is becoming faster – your mind can’t follow
Regardless of the consequences - accepting everything
one sets fire to a temple – just for his name
another is just posting online – doesn’t know what for

Ref.:
stop making stupid people famous
do not even - mention their names (their names)
pay no attention (no attention)
that they crash on - their ascension

Verse 2:
2000 years went by and still
You crave for recognition
Nothing learned
the view on yourself distracts you from reality
More important as the wonders of this world

Ref:
stop making stupid people famous
do not even - mention their names (their names)
pay no attention (no attention)
that they crash on - their ascension
pay no attention (no attention)
do not even - mention their names

Break:
View shifted from art to artist
Arranged image – distorted truth
Glamorizing ignorance
Glamorizing arrogance

End:
Kill your inner herostratos
Your life means nothing
Be hated or loved
But hubris and pride
Goes before your fall
Goes before your fall
