Legacy Lyrics

(A Song of Remembrance)

As the sun rises and falls
And constellations crawl across dark skies
Our time here grows ever shorter
And the silence of the void beckons us all

We are given just one life
And each day our fate is left in our hands
Choosing whether to build or to destroy
As the tides of time crawl across the sands

With each moon that passes
A life drifts away
With each moon that passes
Souls slowly decay

We may not pass into legend
But we will be noted for our deeds
Shadows of today cast into eternity
And our abstract marks on the world
Shall become our legacy

The changes that we wrought
Shall live on forever
Monuments to dreams of the dead

And when we return to the earth
And leave life to others
Our spirit remains and endures
