Lyrics
LEGEND
See that face so famous
On the screen and on my wall
A legend in the making
Now you'll never change at all
Coz you will never, never know
What it feels like to be old
No you will never come to see
What your story might have been
No you will never, never know...
See the soldier falling
See the mud upon his face
The guns have long been silent
But his words still haunt this place
Coz he will never, never know
What it feels like to be old
No he will never get to see
What his poems meant to me
He will never, never know...
Some lies you recognize
Right in the blinking of an eye
"Burn brief, burn bright," they say
"Be fast to live and young to die"
But take time to look around you
Friends and family that you know
Will it be enough for them?
Just a legend when you go?
