It also tells us that time is IMMORTAL,although we can see the futile attempt of the king to make himself everlasting but his broken statue in the vast desert tells the poet about the power and impact of time as not even the king's pride and valour could survive beyond it

The poem "Ozymandias" tells about a king who was very proud of his powers and mightiness. His made a sculpture of stones so that he can immortalize himself through this. The King's pride and ego is represented by the huge size of the statue. The word 'lifeless' is symbolic of the loss of life and power of Ozymandias.
The poet wants to reflect on the fact that it is only the art which has the capability to survive. Though the king was very mighty and powerful, it's only his sculpture which has existed until the present time.
