Legend
Liege Lord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through a jungle lined with pain across a sea through dun and rain again
Mercury's runner through night turns to day
Forging a legend that holds up today
Breaker, a huntsman, the words mark the rest
Take to the legend a runner that's best
Mercury's runner through space and through time
Forging a legend of speed and of rhyme
Runner, conductor, the streak of the night
Making his move then again out of sight

He conducts his speed with tranquillity and grace as he forges a legend that holds true to this day.
