Ozymandias I - Lyrics - Qntal
Qntal is a German "electro-medieval" band founded in 1991 by Michael Popp and Ernst Horn. They later added vocalist Syrah to complete the band. It has roots in Estampie, a band of similar genre but different style; Michael Popp and Syrah are the principal members. Horn left the group in 1999, to concentrate on his other band, Deine Lakaien. He later formed Helium Vola in 2001. Philipp Groth then joined Qntal. In 2008 singer and violinist Sarah M. Newman left the New York based band Unto Ashes to work with Qntal and Estampie in Germany.

[Lyrics: Percy Bysshe Shelley]
I met a traveller from an antique land, who said:
"two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert...
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'my name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains.
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
