A Legacy Lyrics

The drums from the sun echo upon my skin

They're warming me like the memories from my past

When I was young owning hopes so strong

And the future seemed like a creature strange yet easily tamed

The setting sun's warmth has begun to waver now

And later I'll need a fire to be made

Cuz the heat from here's no longer free

We must struggle with our shadows while the present warmth lasts

It takes years to see that nothing's free

And it's up to us to leave a legacy

So rest your feet on shoulders

But don't stay your ways in one place

Change your tastes as your days grow ever older

In the dusk the creature becomes

A monster that you're wanting to kill

To enlist violence will not kill this bastard

Only laughter and gay science will

It takes years to see that nothing's free

And it's up to us to leave a legacy

So rest your feet on shoulders

But don't stay your ways in one place

Change your tastes as your days grow ever older

The future's always promising

The past is always commenting

But in the present there's always something missing

Try to seek a higher knowledge

And cease to preach to those calling

You'll learn more lessons

Even if you've fallen

The dawn's upon us and we must

Rid ourselves of his shadows while he's gone

Liberate yourselves from suffering of what others made

And create a new sun

It takes years to see that nothing's free

And it's up to us to leave a legacy

So rest your feet on shoulders

But if shame is still within your name

Then you do not yet belong with us

Oh, shadow lover!
