Legacy
Heartist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've decided that today is the day
To make a stand against the weak who resist the change.
So speak your mind or take your tongue to the grave
And give the young a chance to wash away the stains.

What if all we are is the worst of what we've done?

All we are is strength in numbers
Fighting for a change.
And when we're gone, we live forever.
Through our legacy.
We stand as one and carry on.

I've decided that it's all that you know.
To bow your head While you wait for the light to show.
But would the sun speak if you called out its name,
Or would it set the same way you have in your ways?

What if all we are is the worst of what we've done?

All we are is strength in numbers
Fighting for a change.
And when we're gone, we live forever.
Through our legacy.
We stand as one and carry on.

All we are is strength in numbers
Fighting for a change.
And when we're gone, we live forever.
Through our legacy.
We stand as one and carry on.

We are one,
We are one.




We will live forever,
We will live forever.

I can hear how Heartist is proud of this album, it's solid with outstanding lyrics, but it's just not my style anymore. But still, props to Heartist, I'll just keep jamming their EP.
