Legends
Radigost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where was I when the first man appeared and the first word was said?
he fear, the thought, the sound...
Something unseen or some kind of flying serpent.
A forest beast and a nameless spirit, an uncontrollable energy.
I followed man all the path, the long road of history.
Transforming, shapechanging shadow. I was many.
The hidden, but more evident than a ray of light sometimes.
Reflection of great kings, the cradle of myths.
Nobody could tell what I was, as well as nobody knows it now.
Today I am prayed and worshiped, I am the holy great one.




The Almost United One!
But what will I be when the Human will not be?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Radigost's song Legends explore the concept of an entity that has existed since the beginning of time, but whose nature and purpose remain a mystery to mankind. The singer describes following man throughout history, taking on various forms and identities. This entity is both hidden and yet more evident than a ray of light at times, reflecting the lives and stories of great kings and serving as the cradle of myths.


Despite being worshipped and revered as a holy entity in the present day, the singer questions their purpose and future in a world where humanity may no longer exist. The lyrics point to the cyclical nature of existence and the concept of impermanence, with the entity musing on their own identity and significance in a world that is constantly changing.


Overall, the song delves into deeper themes of identity, existence and purpose, and invites the listener to reflect on their own place in the grand scheme of things.
