AMC has unveiled a new promo for Breaking Bad season 6 in which we hear Walt read a sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley about the fall of empires.

Obviously the teaser would suggest that Walt’s empire is about to crumble. After all, why would the leader himself even consider the notion of failing with an ego like his?

Creator Vince Gilligan and his team may just be playing with our heads, so ultimately this teaser for Breaking Bad’s final eight episodes offers nothing but gorgeous shots of Albuquerque, New Mexico and Walt’s very ominous voice.

The complete “Ozymandias” sonnet follows. It was written in 1818 and is considered one of Shelley’s most famous poems:

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
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. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Breaking Bad season 6 kicks off Sunday, August 11 on AMC. It is considered the second half of season 5 because each has eight episodes and together they are part of the same arc.
