Cover art for an idea is a greater monument than a cathedral lyrics by Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

"The song is about having to put my dog down when he was only 6. He was the runt of the litter and he was most likely the result of bad dog breeding practices. It’s a very long story, but to sum it up he had so many health problems that his quality of life had diminished to the point we had to put him down. The hardest thing was that through it all, he really kept trying to struggle through it all, even though his body was failing him. It broke my heart."
