A legend (Latin, legenda, "things to be read") is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic. A majority of legends operate within the realm of uncertainty, never being entirely believed by the participants, but also never being resolutely doubted.
The Brothers Grimm defined legend as folktale historically grounded. A modern folklorist's professional definition of legend was proposed by Timothy R. Tangherlini in 1990:
Legend, typically, is a short (mono-) episodic, traditional, highly ecotypified historicized narrative performed in a conversational mode, reflecting on a psychological level a symbolic representation of folk belief and collective experiences and serving as a reaffirmation of commonly held values of the group to whose tradition it belongs."
John Roger Stephens (born December 28, 1978), better known by his stage name John Legend, is an American singer-songwriter and actor. He has won nine Grammy Awards, and in 2007, he received the special Starlight award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Prior to the release of his debut album, Stephens' career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists. Stephens added his voice to those of other artists, assisting in them reaching chart-topper hits. He lent his voice to Kanye West's All of the Lights, on Slum Village's "Selfish" and Dilated Peoples' "This Way". Other artists included Jay-Z's "Encore", and he sang backing vocals on Alicia Keys' 2003 song "You Don't Know My Name" and Fort Minor's "High Road." Stephens played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything."
Stephens was born on December 28, 1978, in Springfield, Ohio. He is the son of Phyllis, a seamstress, and John Mills, a factory worker and former National Guardsman. Throughout his childhood, Stephens was homeschooled on and off by his mother. At the age of four, he began playing the piano and at the age of seven, he performed with his church choir. When he was ten, his parents divorced, causing his mother to suffer a breakdown. At the age of 12, Stephens attended North High School, from which he graduated four years later. He graduated salutatorian.

Fong Sai-yuk (aka The Legend of Fong Sai-yuk) is a 1993 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Corey Yuen and starring Jet Li as a Chinese folk hero Fong Sai-yuk.
The brash and ambitious Fong Sai-yuk meets the beautiful Ting-ting during a track and field competition and falls in love with her. Ting-ting is the daughter of the hot-headed hooligan Tiger Lui. Tiger Lui stages a martial arts competition for interested men to participate and win his daughter's hand in marriage. The contestant must defeat Tiger Lui's wife, Siu-wan, in order to win. Fong Sai-yuk joins the contest at his friends' urging and defeats Siu-wan. He catches a glimpse of his future bride, who is actually a servant maid to replace the temporarily missing Ting-ting. Fong Sai-yuk decides to forfeit the match and leaves.
Fong Sai-yuk's mother, Miu Chui-fa, enters the contest in disguise as a man to help her son win back the lost glory. She defeats Siu-wan and knocks her off the scaffold. Miu Chui-fa catches Siu-wan as she falls and they land safely on the ground. After that intimate moment together, Siu-wan becomes romantically attracted to Miu Chui-fa, as she is unaware that Miu is actually a woman in disguise. Tiger Lui forces Miu Chui-fa to marry his daughter. To save his mother from embarrassment, Fong Sai-yuk marries Ting-ting on behalf of his "brother" (his mother in disguise as a man), and is confined in his father-in-law's house. He is unaware that his bride is actually his love interest and they fight in the dark. They discover each other's identities eventually.
He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails
The spring is in the air
The sirens in the skies
The wind is in his hair
The morning`s in his eyes
The rain turns on
And he will be
On the phone
The world has left alone...
He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due
The spring is in the air
The sirens in the skies
The wind is in his hair
The morning`s in his eyes
The rain turns on
And he will be
On the phone
Dark as night, cold and lonely
Rides the horse that's known as only 'Thunder Road'
Icy fingers hold the reins
While hoofs come poundin' so insanely on and on
Eyes that dance like burnin' embers
All the county still remembers who you are
Did she love you like they say?
And did she really run away and leave you here?
Ride the wind tonight
You'll find her there
No more racin'
With the damp night air
Down the road to Whitman's Crossing
Underneath the widow blossoms soft and green
Covered by the crimson shawl
And hidden by the leaves that fall down to the ground
Midnight comes and midnight goes
In between the moonlight shadows veiled in tears
Ride the wind tonight
You'll find her there
No more racin'
With the damp night air
Ride the wind tonight
You'll find her there
No more racin'
With the damp night air
Oh, find the road
Going now down the road
And take you down from the road
Gotta [Incomprehensible]
Move and move [Incomprehensible]
Move me down from the road
The unicorn to the dragon said,
"Our time is nearly done,
And we shall follow the breath of the dead
To a world with a crimson sun."
"The maids shall mourn your passing then."
The dragon spoke in turn.
"And new little boys and full-grown men
Shall long to see me burn."
Chorus: Where did the legends come from
Before they reached our star
And will we be legends when we have gone
Where all of our legends are
The sun came up on an empty hill,
And every myth was gone;
But all the legends are haunting us still
Each night from dusk to dawn.
For on the night when the visions fled
Beyond the skies of coal,
The first man lifted his wondering head,
And thought the stars his goal.
Chorus
And when we've traveled an endless run
Of planets near and far
We may chance to discover the crimson sun
Where all of our legends are
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
He wants to be, he wants to be, with everything under the sun
And like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to
He makes me feel, he makes me feel, like you used to,
(whoa) like you used to
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
And like a fickle flower when it first sees the light
I cannot show just how I fight
Babe I saw you walking, it was after midnight
Carrying nothing except for a flashlight
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
You wanted to be Romeo so low at my window
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
Will you open the door for me if you believe in chivalry
For I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so
I do not think you low though you bow to me so-so
I know you want to drink from the purest wine
But the drink is far more sour then you would ever think
He wants to be, he wants to be with everything under the sun
And she wants to burn, she wants to burn hot like that sun,
(whoa) hot like that sun
Just like a legend that rises and then falls I cannot be his only one
And like a callous, cold, callous woman she'll never know what she did done
I heard the song birds singing in the trees above my
In the valley of the shadow of the sea of living dead
I see the same old smells aboard my ship of
shapelessness
Meandering suspended in amorphous tastelessness
I hear the happy people striking down their matchless
road
The false teeth and the cologne partly sharing half the
load
I know I cannot ask them so I leave their eyes to say
I know the way to Mount Street, but I just don't know
the way
I see the hollow buildings hanging in the winter sun
Throwing empty shadows that hide the hollow men
The world just isn't real it's built on endless
timeless time
on land marks in the desert wastes of multicoloured
crime
The maps stuck in the tube trains will tell you
where're you going
They'll also tell you pratically everything worth
knowing
So if anybody asks me I'd say "take a few salt sodas"
If you don't you stand the dirty change of dying stone
cold sober
And as I hear you breathing life's last distant
compliment
I know I can't have said much of what I really ment
The sky desolates the sky and the snowflakes face to
face
And everything is just everything because everything
I saw the tree at the night
which with his colour was killing the most sublime feelings in me
and the rain led me by the furthest corridors of the dreams
to show the pearls of people's minds
to strip the symbols
it was so long ago when the flashes of lighting
were listening to the scrteam of the thunder
staying in an eternal trance I don't cry
looking at I don't understand the fear
I climb the clouds of mysteries
finding the relief, finding the lost feelings
surrounded all around with immensty drops
esteeming over all the taste of life
it's misteries secrets and moments of trances
I am swimming across impossible to preform confessions
to perish stripped naked among an ugliness of conscience
finding my shadows which still coincide
I am Legend
I am Grand
I am Heaven
I AM
Present in the time before time began
I am Boss
I am King
My private thoughts,
Out of them came
Orion, the stars
A mountain of waves
A universe for you to search without any pain
I am Strong
I exist
The curtain is drawn
I am It
The opening scene
My intent
Enjoy me and my world
Minus sin
Us spectating and
The earth is empty, simply vacant
Formless, worldless
Missing shape and
Glorious God's about to give it a facelift
I'm like wow "This is amazing"
I know what it's like to be In the presence of greatness
Angels bow down and they praise Him
"Holy holy" cause that's His nature
I'm like wow, "Nobody made Him"
Existing in the time before time and space is
The opening scence and only it take six
This here's the making of creation
And I can hear the Ancient saying
I am Legend
I am Grand
I am Heaven
I AM
Present in the time before time began
I am Boss
I am King
My private thoughts,
Out of them came
Orion, the stars
A mountain of waves
A universe for you to search without any pain
I am Strong
I exist
The curtain is drawn
I am It
The opening scene
My intent
Enjoy me and my world
Minus sin
This is us spectualing a scene
The whole worlds empty like a vacancy
Spirit is hovering over the face of the deep
Shaping this creation 6 days of the week
Day 1 God seperated the shady and bleek
Darkness from the light so we'd be able to see
Day 2 Seperated the lakes and the streams
From the waters locked in the heavens for the rain
And the sleet
Day 3 None of us ate any meat, made the grain and
The wheat and the grapes that hang from the tree.
Day 4 Made the sun generating the heat, and He
Seperated the summer from the fragrance of Spring
And I can hear the Ancient King saying
I am Legend
I am Grand
I am Heaven
I AM
Present in the time before time began
I am Boss
I am King
My private thoughts,
Out of them came
Orion, the stars
A mountain of waves
A universe for you to search without any pain
I am Strong
I exist
The curtain is drawn
I am It
The opening scene
My intent
Enjoy me and my world
Minus sin
Uh I'm spectating the scene
He's laying the foundation, naming the seas
Dictating the range and painting the scenes
Angels is celebrating each day of the week
Day 5 He made all the arrays of the seas
The cattle on the hill and the ravenous beast
The Dinosaurs crawled, the apes on the trees
And every creature with 4 legs and feet
Day 6 God shaped and breathed
Life into a dude that He made unique
Gave the right to rule,
Mandate, and to lead
And on day 7 all the labor ceased
Then the creation's complete
And every moments like,
Like a day on the beach
Filled with His glory, a place of peace
Where God, man and beast parlay in the breeze
Wait a minute what's this hate that I see
A rebellion in the heavens, the arrangement is breeched
He's kicked out of His presence, Satan's released
(Secret Sphere)
The Sphere: Candlelight shades dance upon her glance,
Stands in loneliness, her mind to hope... forever
An angel without wings that's her destiny
She feels the emptyness killing her soul
PRE CHORUS
The Sphere: Rain, blood, storm and thunders
Run Aurienne through the night
Rain, blood, storm and thunders, until
CHORUS
The Sphere: I'll take your hands tonight
You'll live over the ages and fly
Through the gate of wisdom
Your eyes will see the power
The strenght of a world where emotions and feelings are life
Aurienne:
I see a sphere, shining bright,
it invades me, it fills my eyes
The Sphere:
These words tear a silence made of steel
Darkin' times were slowly rapin' her smile
Appears a tear, slowly falling, bringing away the pain
Ouh, the first, the first, the first tear of joy,
After the last one of sadness
The Sphere:
Run Aurienne through the night, until
CHORUS
Aurienne:
Ouh... shadows surround my life, I'll tear them,
With the force of mind, I have no... fear, never I think
You'd die without light, you're much stronger
Aurienne:
Wings of power now raise me
I'm overfliyng the time.
Everything I've ever known has given up on me
The bonds you make and the dreams you break
Seem to fade away just like everything else
Just when you think you know the ones that you love
You lie awake and think how can you change?
How can you change for them? How can you change?
Everyone I've ever loved has turned their back on me
When did this all come undone? I can't control myself
I never thought I'd see the ones so close to me
Show me who they want to be
You lie awake and think how can you change?
How can you change for them? You lie awake and think
You aren't who you claim to be
There was a time in my life I didn't know myself
I never thought I'd see the ones so close to me
Show me who they want to be
You lie awake and think how can you change for them?
We often try to talk things through,
About what went wrong with me & you
You had your reasons that's plain to see
But I still make believe it's all down to me
You say I don't have the need to give,
The kind of life that you want to live
To be untied yet still sleep with me,
You want my love but you still want to be free?
I'm not angry
I'm sure you've told me the reasons why,
You're forced to tell so many evil lies
I wait for you though it's so often now,
I love you still but I don't know how
What's the answer? well you tell me,
Where's the door that will set you free?
You say I don't care that I just don't share,
This life we have, this life's not fair
I'm not angry
I think it's time that we open out,
And just tell the world what it's all about
This life we play & try to cover up,
It's time for truth cos I've had enough
Where are the lies what words are true,
You screwed with me so I screwed with you
No tears for me no tears are due
Just find the road that you know is true
Third degree burns and twisted limbs
Men can't repents such evil sins
Cities leveled, molecular pain
The rising sun won't rise again
But it had to be done, the pigs all cried
We tried to warn them, the pigs all lied
Children born within it's cloud
Genetic disease the eternal shroud
The water boiled the sky turned black
Time zero was the final attack
But it had to be done, the pigs all cried
We tried to warn them, the pigs all lied
Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!
Oh rising sun your children weep
Will your memories of pain ever sleep
Will the book of life explain the cause
As the only way to stop all wars?
But it had to be done, the pigs all cried
Third degree burns and twisted limbs
Men can't repents such evil sins
Cities leveled, molecular pain
The rising sun won't rise again
But it had to be done, the pigs all cried
We tried to warn them, the pigs all lied
Children born within it's cloud
Genetic disease the eternal shroud
The water boiled the sky turned black
Time zero was the final attack
But it had to be done, the pigs all cried
We tried to warn them, the pigs all lied
Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!
Oh rising sun your children weep
Will your memories of pain ever sleep
Will the book of life explain the cause
As the only way to stop all wars?
But it had to be done, the pigs all cried
You are as fake as the smile you make, nothing you could ever do would
Make you touchable, you make everybody fucking sick.
Crawl around the walkable
You have no family, nobody to show the respect you claim to have. You
Have nothing in this world, you mean nothing to us all.
Crawl around the Walkable, there is nothing for you here, Crawl around
The walkable.
YOU FUCKING BITCH YOU NEVER, YOU NEVER WILL GET RESPECT FROM ME.
You'll get what you deserve [x2]
Crawl around the walkable, there is nothing for you here. [x2]
You pay the price to make you feel good
It flows through veins & feeds the soul
The victim of pleasure
You pay & try it all
They never said it would bring madness
They never said it would bring pain
The visions came in all their evil
They scar your mind & scar your skin
Five days & it's still there
You pay & you never win
They never said it would bring madness
They never said it would bring pain
So close to death you almost taste it
You rip your body from the flesh
She knows that you're screaming
You pay & you hold your breath
They never said it would bring madness
Generations underground, fight the curse of fashion
Feed the nations with no sound, music with a passion
Catch - your dreams - and steal - your fear
Shake - the walls - with what - you hear
Wake the demons in your head, take away the darkness
Build the bridges now we're here, music at it's hardest
We were lost but now are found
Generations underground
Generations underground, now we can be freed
Make it loud & make it clear, this is what we need
Catch - your dreams - and steal - your fear
Shake - the walls - with what - you hear
Turn the volume into light, shatter the illusion
Choke the silence, make your choice, take away confusion
We were lost but now are found
This world is changing and we're all just a part of the plan we've
Over stayed our welcome.
When we look outside our windows at night we face a constant fear that
The end is near.
So many things that are laid at our feet, abuse and abuse and no
Second guessing what we do with the time
That has been given to us. We kill and we steal for the simple need
For pleasure.
We kill and we steal for pleasure.
Nationwide terror has struck, the smell of death is a stench you
Better get familiar with.
Where will you run? Where will you hide?
The barrel of a smoking gun litters the ground of countless lives
I see the way that we treat each other, we lost all sense of humanity
We are doomed
We are apart of this world
We are apart of this world
There are no more second chances, we have to face the coming ending
Pick a place of beauty, pick a place of light
Cover it in shrapnel, burn it through the night
Hide your secret weapon in the place without a fear
Death lies in the shadows, murder stands so near
You say you have a mission, that god is in your song
The awful deeds you perpetrate, have never been so wrong
To scar the dream of paradise, an Eden for us all
Destruction of tranquility, so innocent they fall
Eden Massacre
This island in the sunlight, a place of perfect peace
It's people & it's magic, destroyed as you unleashed
Your terror gift of evil, a serpent from your hate
A massacre in Eden, an unforgiving fate
You say you have a mission, that god is in your song
The awful deeds you perpetrate, have never been so wrong
To scar the dream of paradise, an Eden for us all
Destruction of tranquility, so innocent they fall
Man is still a boy king, hiding from the truth
Trying to create a dreams, as if it's something new.
Hiding in the corner, watching for revenge,
Creep up on his brother, his envy now avenged.
Chorus:
Why could he not try to save the world
Why could he not try to save the world
Death in the nursery, death in the nursery,
Death in the nursery.
Choosing all his little toys from stockpiles in the west
Throw them up into the air, discovering his quest
Tantrums in their terror, a scream of silent tears,
You are the coward and you are the plague.
We know everything about you.
Who are you to judge what's right and what's wrong what steps are taking.
I will bury you, your story has been laid to rest.
Your time is over, and nobody ever knew your name.
What have you accomplished in your long years of life.
What do you have to show for the countless times
That you have always tried. You have no purpose.
You are not the victim, you are the weak.
Burn out your eyes, burn out your eyes you are the weak and desperate
Force fed lie, nobody respects you. you're fooling nobody this time.
You are the reason that you can't find your way. You're just a hopeless
Soul, another number today.
Another lesson learned you still find a way to turn it around a point
The other way.
We breathe the seeds of Heaven, yet the scent of Hell is sweet.
We chant of God Immortal, yet we eat the Devil's meat.
We think we have two choices, stay pure and you will see, that when you die it's over, at last you will be free.
Because there are two kingdoms, a Heaven and a Hell.
But fools, you cannot see it, this earth is Satan's well.
You look so depressed in your Muslim robe
It wouldn't be like this so you were told
A peaceful solitude a silent mist
As face to face with death you kissed
The final seconds were hours of pain
As the breath of life appeared again
To torment you with hopes in vain
Or thinking you might live again... never!
You look so depressed in your wooden case
A fitting tribute to the master race
A peaceful solitude alive with worms
Buried alive! They'll never learn!
Buried alive!
You look so depressed in your wooden case
A fitting tribute to the master race
A peaceful solitude alive with worms
Buried alive! They'll never learn!
Buried alive!
Rot in Hell!
Lesson one, aim your gun, learn the art of killing
Childhood past, die is cast, be ready & be willing
The child believes the cause is just, the reasons for it true
And knowing not of childhood, what else is there left to do
Born in Chaos
Now you're ten, war again, fighting's your tradition
Aim your gun, kill the one, fail not is your mission
The child believes the cause is fair, the reasons for it right
And never tasting freedom, what is there to do but fight
Born in Chaos
Just a boy, with his toy, deal in retribution
Aim your gun, watch them run, from your execution
The child believes the cause is good, it comes from god divine
And never knowing wisdom, dreams of truth & death sublime
Badgirl, I'm missing you
Badgirl, you know that it's true
Remember the days when loving was fun, you said that I was the only one
Badgirl, why did you go?
Badgirl, I guess I'm too slow
Badgirl, when (are) you coming home?
Badgirl, can't leave you alone
You came obsessed with a love I can't give
Then went trough me like sand through a sieve
Badgirl, why can't you stay?
Badgirl, don't leave me this way
Badgirl, I miss you tonight
Badgirl, will you be alright?
Living the nightlife is living for fun
Take love and money from everyone
Badgirl, if only you'd stay
Running forever in circles of hate, clinical bars keep us tight
Hoping for fools to unleash us in haste, to prove to the world of their might
Created to kill in obscene trails of pain, to blot out the source of the light
A subtle but deadly supply on the wind, it gives them no reason to fight
The island of death where we wait in the dark, injected with droplets of pain
Inside my head, I'd give my heart. Inside my head, I'd give up everything.
There was never uncertainty, I have everything I need. I care so much
For the ones a part of me. How could I ever need more than what's in
Front of me? I have everything I knew I would ever need.
I have everything
When you have found what you're looking for, there's no need to answer
What comes to your door.
You pay the price to make you feel good
It flows through veins & feeds the soul
The victim of pleasure
You pay & try it all
They never said it would bring madness
They never said it would bring pain
The visions came in all their evil
They scar your mind & scar your skin
Five days & it's still there
You pay & you never win
They never said it would bring madness
They never said it would bring pain
So close to death you almost taste it
You rip your body from the flesh
She knows that you're screaming
You pay & you hold your breath
They never said it would bring madness
Dance into the masquerade,
I am the only man who has a face.
In this land of no identity,
Who leads your secret society?
So deep in her disguise,
I fail to recognize my sister.
The shapeshifter will never change her ways.
You make the first descent,
This atmosphere becomes intense
As you start to undress
My robes of consciousness.
So deep in her disguise,
I did not recognize my sister.
The shapeshifter will never change her ways.
In the mist you fade to grey,
Lost in a city where vampires
Are guarding the gates.
And you vanish with no trace,
Warped and distorted.
My fear is escorted away.
Pleasure I mistake for pain,
My demons and angels
Are playing a dangerous game.
Inside the vessel of my friends,
I'm haunted by strangers,
They're craving a thirst for revenge.
I surrender to the view,
To find the replacement,
A manifestation of you.
One God to whom I seldom pray
Created the science.
You work in mysterious ways.
So deep in her disguise,
I still don't recognize my sister.
The shapeshifter will never change her ways.
When you are dreaming,
I am wide awake.
Believe when you see me,
In the mind's eye I wait
I'm in the heart's of thousands, you should have never doubted me
I'm alive and not a second sooner, I feel the hate that is following
Through my veins inside me.
It consumes me, I won't let you win this time. I'm in the hearts of
Thousands where will you be? When the world comes crashing down.
We are on our own, all my friends have failed me, and the truth shall
Set you free.
Through the worst I've proved what I'm worth, running and running
Around never proving a thing.
To ones who know nothing about you, nobody knows who you are, or what
You do you're nobody. You're just a fool. We are on our own, all my
Friends have failed me, and the truth shall set your free
Blame yourself for your own destruction.
Life is just a constant illusion, carpeted dreams of man's confusion
Expertly stripped of reasons why, dissected clean and barely alive
Freedom is a dream of the dead, a martyrs cry deep within your head
Where air is not a worthy cause, to destroy the land with mindless wars
England, your children die in vain, for reasons of political gain
When daylight splits the sky apart, and water burns the land,
The time will come, at last for you, to unlock my weary hands,
You said the moon will soon explode, raining flies of sweat,
Not long now friend, you'll soon be free, but freedoms not here yet.
Rats will sing the day I'm free, and god will prune his tail,
Boats will sink in fields of stone, lift up your blackened veil.
Sheep of death. howl out their call, my keepers here at last,
Pennies for your thoughts. My dreams are always dead to me. I've
Always needed the push from my family. I'm making I never could keep.
I'm looking back on everything that I thought I would need. How crazy
It all seems to find what your life could always be. If you want it so
Bad, I'll show you what it means to me.
I'm finding ways without ever starting. I'm always trying to find
Where I fit in their lives.
Back and forth on top I'm always leaving things behind. I'm always
Finding out how to live life like a lie.
The day the sky collapsed on you, to bury you in ash
A tomb of burning lava with a thousand years to pass
Your legacy of wonders, your culture so advanced
No time to stop and wonder, you didn't have a chance
Your gods that day deserted you, the fifth became the last
Your faith was just a vapour, within your lava cast
What once was so majestic is now an ancient tomb
Who's secrets still lie buried, so deep within your womb
The columns and the statues stand silent in the light
No voices fill the market place, no laughter in the night
The children so long sleeping, such tender ghosts to dream
This generation's fucking trash and that's something else.
You are hated believe me when I say that you are nothing more
You are nothing more than just a walking sore.
With a sickness that can't be cured.
You have a sickness that can't be cured.
Why don't you have some respect for yourself.
Everyday you wake feeling sorry. so sorry for yourself. You, you've
Created every problem in your life.
You'll never take the time to correct your mistakes.
Making headway to all of the changes forced in my life. I'm never
Waking up. Everything's so warped, I'm missing everything I thought
That I once had. I'm never waking up.
It's so hard for me not to think that we didn't try hard enough and
Yeah, I'll be alright, but you still have a family to think of. I
Guess things just fall aprt and yes this hurts.
While you just chalk it up to "hey that's how the world works"
We have never been closer before. I won't give up on ou, youcan always
Count on me. And when thetime is right I'll see you beat these odds.
I'll keep you close to me you'll always be my hero.
When you think the worst is over
All my nightmares have become a reality
This is not what I wanted for my brothers,
Broken by what's right you fail yourself this time. You've always
Fought for what's right. You make this your time to shine. You're
Leaving everything you wanted to your fate.
When your back is turned to the ones you love, you have the choice to
Change what's really wrong in your life. (What's really wrong)
So why does it feel like I'm forgotten? just another mistake, another
Promise broken, just another regret. So whydoes it feel like I'm
Forgotten?
No matter what you do, I'll always be there for you.
I am the dreamer and I will make my own path
I found a way to prove to you that I'm more than you think. You will
Never break me
You're dead weight. You're broke inside. You will never break me. What
Point can you make?
We are the silent ones
I wait around for the world to change me, if and when the time is
Right, we are the silent ones.
What will it take to make you see? I will never lose sight of my dreams
This is my life, I'm not going to change, because you think you know
What's best for me. I will never give up.
Watch me prove to you I can't be beat.
While everyone is yearning, to seek the ancient learning.
We stare into the darkness, of mankind in his sleep,
They pray that they are righteous, but sadly they all lie to us.
And the solitary preacher, ignores them as they weep,
He looks down from his vantage point, the rich man's head they now anoint,
And he teaches them the meaning, of people dying for a cause.
He leads the blind to battle, like herds of holy cattle,
And he watches from a distance, as they play their games of war.
Father of the night, unleash the seeds of hate,
Be watchful for the morning, for there is no time to waste.
The kiss of pride excites you, in rows of crimson stone.
The kiss of life deceives you, too long to be alone.
Why don't you kill me, why don't you kill me.
At dusk he waits in silence, preparing for the night.
Draining off his memories to train his heart to fight
Searching for a reason, he plays the game so well.
Waiting for an answer, he raps the gates of hell.
Why don't you kill me, why don't you kill me.
And when the game is over, the loser pays his price.
Gives man another reason to scream into the night.
The lives that seem so empty, regret that they were born.
The warrior holds his breath, as he watches for the dawn.
The city lights, shine out in the pain,
The fleeting shadows, shelter from the rain,
And all this time, the warrior waits for death,
The battle for survival, the prize to fight again.
The crawling black, apartment blocks of fear,
Blot out the evening, as if to hide a tear,
Monsters of the asphalt escape into the dark,
The warrior of instinct feels hunger drawing near.
The fight exists for just a moment in time,
The warrior dies, under a neon sign,
And insects of the city, ignore the rivers of life,
Everything that meant something to me, has gone far away it's all lost
In the mix. I can't find what it means to feel full inside, it's all
Foreign to me.
I need you more than you need me. Can't you save me? I'm dying inside.
Won't you please save me? Please save me now.
This is my fucking cry for help.
Finding my troubled ways, maybe it's all inside my head. You were the
One who showed me not to ever give in. Not toever give in (into the
Fight)
And I can't blame you for what you did.
When you know your life is wasted
And your dream is a scream in the night
You can never return to reality
Without stopping the future of light
You think you have a future, a hope of many years
But we control the apathy, that feeds upon your fears
If time can make it a torment
Then you have as long as you need
We'll just sit back and enjoy it
And upon your soul we'll feed
You think you have a future, a hope of many years
But we control the apathy, that feeds upon your fears
When you know your life is wasted
And your dream is a scream in the night
You can never return to reality
Without stopping the future of light
You think you have a future, a hope of many years
We're tired of all the foolish men, who weep away the days
Complaining of society, that life no longer pays
We're tired of tribal prejudice, the vultures of the meek
The eastern and the western, a forever hide and seek
We're tired of threatened holocaust, from scepters of the rich
The lucrative religions, each guru stakes his pitch
We're tired of life's corruption, the politics of hate
Ineffective politicians, controlling Europe's fate
We're tired of mans naivety, pollution of the mind
Destruction of resources, the burning of mankind
We're tired of careless parents, their task so soon neglected
Obey. you have to follow to find what the future holds for you.
My life in the palm of your hands.
You have never led me astray. You are my guiding star that made me who
I am today.
Over time I begin to find that what matters in life is more than we know.
I'm not burning
By the hands of you, I will see this through
There's a time in all of our lilves when you face the truth and the
Truth isn' what we want to hear.
I'm alive, I am what I am.
I am what I am, and I was made to endure this hate.
I'm not burning.
What do you gain from your loss of respect,
Exploding, like some vision of the future
Eroding, like nightmare of the past
Degrading, like the voice of retribution
Evading, like the life that couldn't last
Demanding, like the call of satisfaction
Tolling, like the bell that rings of death
Announcing, that the game of life is over
Gasping, like the failing of your breath
Your sadness is reflected in the way your life is wasted
Your ignorance stands the test in the life you tasted
Your fear stands alone in the world you have created
But weeping has no future when your cries are so belated
So there it is my friends, a taste of life
We're on the stage my friends, we're under the lights
Why is it that your visions are confessions of the past
A silence here tomorrow in a life that cannot last
The men that call for changes in a dream that never starts
Are victims of the future in a play devoid of parts
And there it is my friends, a taste of life
Take a man, take a man who thinks he is an icon
Watch him sweat, watch him sweat when he sees that it's all gone
Money comes & money goes, planet earth is in it's throes
Take a man, take a man right now
Is it just a dream? Is it all it seems?
Is it just a dream? Will I wake up?
Watch it burn, watch it burn as people fight the hunger
Steal the light, steal the light of hope that is no longer
Crying game & feeling shame, feed the rich & kick the lame
Watch it burn, watch it burn right now
Is it just a dream? Is it all it seems?
I never walk away from the pain
I push right through all the lies
How did we come so far?
How did we come so far?
Inside, I never had your back
Inside, I never wanted to be loved by you
This is a fucking war
And when the time is right
You'll finally see your lies
And where will your family be?
You always fool yourself into what is right
There's no future in what you see
There's no future in what you want to be
You're not the same to me
You've changed for worse
You're changing this for the worst in time maybe
You'll realize what you've done this time around
I know your fine but I'm dying inside, help me
I'm fucking dying inside of me
Oh my God, who was I to judge?
It's your life but don't forget about me
I'm one of you, your blood runs through me
Stop living a lie, you're fucking killing me
Time has passed, so little changed, the brave still live in hope
The ruthless rule, with nothing more, than daggers to your throat
Elections fixed, and money talks, the earth still chokes in pain
The artist paints his darkest thoughts while mindless terrors reign
The soldier boy still fights in vain, against the secret foe
The standards for our children, have never been so low
Created plagues, that creep the world, hunting out the weak
The icecaps melt, the oceans die, if only earth could speak
I'm Still Screaming
Open your eyes and see, the chaos, watching the cities burn
Dreaming your dream of hope is wasted, the lesson is there to learn
Search for madness, find your soul
Out in the open night the message is trying to tell us all
I'm Still Screaming
Paying the price of hope, and glory selling the medals cheap
Worship the flag that flies for fashion, watching the children sleep
Search for madness, find your soul
Out in the open night the message is trying to tell us all
I'm Still Screaming
The quest for self indulgence, the hedonistic chase
Narcosis for the masses, relentless in it's race
Corruption in the highest, the acid rain still falls
The child abused by parents, behind the facade walls
Escaping is no answer, so many often try
You kill to fund the habit, that helps to make you fly
A world that seems so heartless, a species doomed to die
Black dog howls on the edge of the night, howls the call of doom
The soldier wipes his sweaty brow from the safety of his room
Not long to go till the battle screams of death into the night
And the soldier boy will lose his life in this endless bloody plight
Two thousand dead, so what, it's fame, a medal or two for me
As long as my body never bleeds my glory's always free
The mornings here in sunlight rays, that burns the morning dew
The barbed wire shivers in steely awe, the living are not true
Black dog howls on the edge of the night, howls the call of doom
The soldier wipes his sweaty brow from the safety of his room
Not long to go till the battle screams of death into the night
And the soldier boy will lose his life in this endless bloody plight
And when the battle is over, what about the pain
Of knowing that I'll never see my little boy again
His duty has been done at last, despite my growing fears
That knowing as a parent, I've wasted all these years
How could they do this?
How could the kill my son?
I tried to create an honest man, a man of right and good
Whose head was quickly shattered, nothing left but blood
They wrote at least a letter, explaining of their thanks
But little boys have little hope against Russian tanks
How could they do this?
How could they kill my son?
His soul was just a number, hanging on the cross
Just another casualty, another pointless loss
But me I was his father, so how do I feel now?
My life long goal is over, but still I wonder how
How could they do this?
I'm always looked over, I'm fighting the fight.
Without me in your corner you won't see the end of this.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Who will be there to defend what you love?
I am the last of the dying breed of people who give a fuck.
Try your best to find someone who hasn't let it go to their heads.
I owe you nothing
Wrapped up and forced to leave what you love.
There is a bigger meaning you're in or you're not
I know who I am, and what I have to do.
I'm always looked over, I'm fighting the fight.
Without me in your corner you won't see the end of this.
When the ball drops and means everything, they want to take everything from
You.
When your back is pressed up against the wall they still will take
Everything from you.
I'm still waiting here with my head barely above water, just waiting
For my time to be on top of what were owed.
This industry is corrupt and we're barely holding on, so why are we here?
Everyday we play into the bigger picture, without ever finding breaks.
There's a reason why we're always losing sleep, there's a reason why we
Cannot find our peace.
We are here to show all you that there's a future in never finding
Solitude.
I patiently wait, I patiently wait for our break
We love this life, We love this life
This industry is corrupt and we're barely holding on, so why are we here?
Everyday we play into the bigger picture, without ever finding breaks.
There's a reason why we're always losing sleep, there's a reason why
We cannot find our peace.
We are here to show all you that there's a future in never finding
Solitude.
You're just a walking contradiction,
With your hands held deep in your pockets
Why do you try to find a way?
Morning follows the night time of your life
Wake up to a brand new day
She was just a number in the game of man
Wiped from the blackboard of life
Fulfilling her duty of being on time
Did it matter that she was your wife?
Your sorrow deflates the true curse of the deed
Your strength at this time will decide
If life is important for life to succeed
True feelings young man you must hide
Opinion polls said you were right to complain
That her case was a negligent act
Her body was not just a testing ground
But life is true fiction not fact
And now that your pockets are empty of power
You must face that your course is at an end
Just pray for the others still waiting out there
To be a victim of our medical friend
With your hands held deep in your pockets
Why do you try to find a way?
Morning follows the night time of your life
Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Are discarded shamefully
Down in the busy streets, rain falls down in sheets
Windswept men are coming home from work
Shoppers drag their bags & youngsters drag their fags
While hidden in the shadow evil lurks
Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Are discarded shamefully
Down in the busy streets friends & lovers meet
Sit in bars & moan about their day
As beer & banter flows, little do they know
Apocalypse is just a breath away
Laugh & cry, don't ask why, safe inside your cages
Take your cup, drink it up, sleep the sleep of ages
Payback time, for your crime, pave the way to Hades
Flames & noise, for the boys, shrapnel for the ladies
Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Are discarded shamefully
Down in the busy street people lifted from their feet
As bricks & glass fly outward from the blast
And in a single breath, life turns to death
A future bold becomes a shameful past
Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Dreaming in the daylight, I'm walking in a trance
I'm living in your nightmare, I haven't got a chance
Living in your nightmare
You feed upon my being, you squeeze my lungs of air
I'm living in your nightmare & you don't really care
You take things I offer, you steal the things I don't
You smile with eyes of evil & taunt me when I choke
Living in your nightmare
I catch you in the shadows, I feel you in the night
You strip me of sensation, you take away my light
Dreaming in the daylight, I'm walking in a trance
I'm living in your nightmare, I haven't got a chance
Woke up this morning, lying in bed.
That lazy woman, still buzzed in my head.
Why did she leave me, why did she go away,
Without her here, I'm gonna go insane,
Oh lazy woman, you are my night and my day,
Oh lazy woman.
I tried to give her all that I could,
But all she wanted, was my life blood,
She drained me dry, she took my very soul
And now she's gone, life's just an empty hole,
Here come the razor into the darkness I fall
Oh lazy woman
Now it's all over she won't come home,
I killed myself for her, now I'm so alone
I know that she won't cry, she doesn't feel any pain
Why did she let me die, I'll never live again,
It's all a joke to her, just some stupid game,
Your promises were never kept, back to the start.
Your falling down all that you wanted, was never there back the end
Pushing your way through everything, never backing up, never giving
In, you fake mother fucker I'll call you out.
It's not worth. it's not worth my time.
It's not worth, it's not worth my time.
I'll do my best, I'll do my best when inside
Never inside, never inside all alone.
When insight, when insight you begin to bleed. Not giving in.
This is your way through me, your retribution
I'll see your face in hell you'll pray to me.
When insight, when insight you begin to bleed. Not giving in.
Time cannot take, the faith I will keep
By my side, you've always been my saving grace. There's a day we all
Will face, It's a place we fear, we sit and wait for voices. No matter
What you fake, we can't escape the pain it brings. I'll never let this
Die.
I am afraid to be alone. What can I change, what will it take. You are
The light in me.
Back and forth and back and forth. I wouldn't change this. No I
Wouldn't change this, for the world.
This time I am the martyr
Thoughts of what's gone. The very thought makes me sick inside
You saved me from myself you are the driving force that makes me who I
Want to be
I am afraid to be alone. What can I change, what will it take, you are
The light in me.
Back and forth and back and forth I wouldn't change this. No I
Wouldn't change this,
You brought us up although you were forced to.
You had two children and you were just a kid yourself.
You cared for us and we relied on you.
We used to cry and that was your burden.
We had to eat and you had to provide.
We we're just ten and we weren't much younger than you.
That's what we have.
That is why I know you're the reason we all survived.
That's what we have.
That is why I know you're the reason we all survived.
When we were young and you were our mother
We grew up fast cause that's how we had to.
As I got older I knew I owed it all to you.
We used to cry and that was your burden.
We had to eat and you had to provide.
We we're just ten and we weren't much younger than you.
That's what we have.
That is why I know you're the reason we all survived.
That's what we have.
That is why I know you're the reason we all survived.
I owe my youth to you.
I owe my youth to you.
We both know what we have been through.
You gave us your youth just so you could get us through.
I owe you my youth.
That is what we have.
You are why I am.
We both know what we have been through.
Well I've seen your face
And the color of your eyes
And I see the way that you look at me
I was something to despise
And I heard them call you legend
That you played the game so well
Let me just say one more time
I didn't kiss or tell
All the heart's that you've broken
All the damage that you've done
And all the words and promises
Died like snowflakes in the sun
They say you walk with angels
That you talk with god
Oh you are so righteous
Oh you are so holy
All the heart's that you have broken
All the damage that you've done
And all the words and the promises
Died like snowflakes in the sun
They say you walk with angels
That you talk with god
Oh you are so righteous
Oh you are so holy
Take the road until it's end never crouching to the bend of life
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
Conducting speed of tranquil grace through his planet's deepest space again
Mercury's runner through space and through time
Forging a legend of speed and of rhyme
Runner, conductor, the streak of the night
Take the road until it's end never crouching to the bend of life
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
Conducting speed of tranquil grace through his planet's deepest space again
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
(T. Gray/Eg White)
I gotta say,
I must admit never thought
there would ever be someone to open my eyes
When you feelThe taste of it swept me away
Like a drug
Intoxicating, captivating
forces put me under a spell
And I don't feel afraid
Waited long time for my prince to show
Waited patiently I want the world to know
Waited long time through a chain of fools
Waited patiently and that prince was you
Chorus
Passion so strong
I can't hold on
Pleasure I yearn
With every burn
Keeps me alive
Melting inside
As legend would have it told
You give me good love
I can taste
Emotions so deep living my wildest fantasies
Explore every single inch of me, baby
Bring me to life butterfly
Heart and soul make me whole
Shield my pain stop the rain
Chase all my clouds away
Waited long time for my prince to show
Waited patiently I want the world to know
Waited long time through a chain of fools
Waited patiently and that prince was you
Chorus
Bring me to life butterfly
Heart and soul make me whole
Shield my pain stop the rain
Chase all my clouds away
My dammned soul feels the shadows
Galaxy and Universe
I don't understand the life of men
My existence is Legend!
Take my sword
For everyone
Blood of the warriors on Earth
The rules of the steel for men and Kings
Burn my soul and justice for all
Open your eyes, the dark in the light
The law of the war:
Kill or die!
Another time, and other lands
You can't find sweet innocence
Eternal contrast, creation and death
When you live into Legend!
[instrumental]
There are leaders
and those who only wish to follow and be fed
there are strangers with stolen power
and there are reasons that come tomorrow
and is it natures way
for you to run today and be free
(chorus)
do you want to be a legend
or a passing footprint on the sands of time
do you want to be a failure
or the best example of a man who lived to use his mind -
imagine what you could be
there are rebels
who can't be silenced, they remind us how to see
there are prophets, believing visions
while many others, put trust in science
and there are dreamers who
must get through, to your soul
(chorus)
imagine what you could be
with that feeling of symmetry
and your eye for beauty
then you've faith in the impossible -
imagine what you could be
There are lovers
of skills forgotten
by great people - in their haste
But there is no one
who knows what you do
that's the knowledge you should not waste
and teachers point the way
but only you can find the place
[Chorus:]
I am a legend
I'm living life
These niggers hatin'
I'm doing something right
I make it happen every day every night
I am legend
It's the number one push up
Put you rapps in the facts
Gonna for a second now I'm back for a while
You can... my little cousin
He's as bad as a champ/child
Now he's at college with a...
And that made me proud
He showed me I can make it
He told me I'm the greatest
Cause he knows I wasn't faking
I was only being patient
I'm still in every second
A murder would take time
I'm killing every rapper
These lyrics are my weapon
If I aim them at your head
You'll be brain dead
I'm married to the game
[Chorus]
Up from the bed
I'm looking to the mirror
Today I'll be better than you
Look what I'm wearing
Got my pride on my shirt
My heart on my sleeve
My thoughts on my kicks
All this love in my jeans
And you know it seems
I was supposed to beg
We'll see I was told
Don't let the money change you
Get out of my way
You won't like me when I'm angry
They say it's truly as dough
... no with this music shit bro
Got that crucifix flow
I carry it in my cross
I'm headin' up the cavalry
Looking for the lords
[Chorus]
I'm back
They said I wouldn't last
They told me break a leg
But they wouldn't sell my cast
They pray for...
But I didn't win...
Seeing life to the blast
I think a girl said
He's running out of cash
Bills coming up the ass
And my mama wanted back
I got a free car
But I don't give free gas
It's nothing up on this life that's gonna last
That's the legacy we ly
So please all remember you breath
I'll never gonna be what I've said I wouldn't be
I am legend so I tell them what I see
What... comes... next
One man has lived through this
His end is at hand
Each day he waits for his days to come to an end
They wait for a false move to attack
The plague has come at last
Now all life is at past
Now doom waits for one man
Who does all that he can to survive
Now it's time to fight back when day shines
Now is the time to fight back
No matter... how much
They bring me... down the
Fight will end... when things
Are set straight
The urge to strip away his life
Has passed through his mind
The fight to live has overcome his soul
No will to live makes him fight harder
The thought of death means nothing anymore
One... on... the... world...
When you forgive, you love.
And when you love, god's light shines on you.
I've been so long coming 'round.
God forsake me, I can't breath your lies anymore.
Miss me?
Miss me?
If I were smiling, running to your arms, oh mum and dad, I've been so long coming round.
If I were smiling, running to your arms, oh mum and dad, I've been so long coming round.
This is the quest of a whole life, don't bring me back.
This is the quest of a whole life, don't bring me back.
Happiness is only real when shared.
Rather than faith, rather than fame, love, money, fairness.
Rather than pain, rather than hate, purity.
Give me the truth!
Give me the truth.
If I were smiling, running to your arms, oh mum and dad, I've been so long coming round.
If I were smiling, running to your arms, oh mum and dad, I've been so long coming round.
If I were smiling, running to your arms, would you see then, what I see now?
[Verse 1: Vast Aire]
Yeah yeah
In the streets, anything can happen
The stock exchange is like the glock exchange
The supply goes up and down
And the bullets go up and down
Give me some elbow room and I'll lock it down
And I don't even like your town
You need recess
I came to destroy rap and also save the princess
Like I ain't the real
What the fuck you want a happy meal?
We get it popping when I crack the keg
And your show's like a horse with a broken leg
[Verse 2: Vast Aire]
You ain't that gully, you a playboy bunny
I got a flow that'll water your shit down
You can keep your crown
You gotta open your ears just to peep my sound
(Heard you had a lot of pride)
Well it's on the ground
And I might have to stomp it now
(Oh you want to swing)
I wouldn't do that homey
I learned my style from Old Man Chow
And it's like that
You'll need a New York block to strike back
Look, poverty is wack
And the niggas in the street want they life back
They want the mic back
[Verse 3: Vast Aire]
Yo, with a little hard work and some enchanted magic
I'll spit a 16 with the turbo graphic
We used to call dudes like you toys
Now we just melt the plastic
Look son, you know this game
It's called death, now ain't it a shame
I wish I had three men
So I could mess up twice and get away with my life
I've got fireballs, he's got spikes
Quick hit the turtle shell, jump into a pipe
He's a super koopa trooper
I gotta psyche 'em out with the I'll maneuver
Uh huh, uh huh
Alright
Look, everybody go
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start, b, a, start
The kids are coloring by number
And staying in the lines
Who needs colors from locations
Just thoughts of your green eyes
Deep inside a beat grey alley
My legend calls for me
Through the crowd I spot you searching
By fate our tired eyes meet
[Chorus]
And even if it’s in my mind
I got a quirky sense of feeling you right by my side
It doesn’t matter where I go
There’s still the same good chance I’ll think of you
through every door
Woah..
Two aimless drifters on a park bench
The oyster gives the pearl
Just have your people call my people
When we conquer the world
[Chorus]
I’m optimistic cause I know that you’ll color my day
Cause when I look into your eyes I’m in another place
Along a dark, forsaken road,
There stands a stark and grim abode -
An old Manor House looks black and tall
To cast a gray and deathly pall -
Beyond the ancient wrought-iron gate,
A thousand nightmares lie in wait -
For dark things dwell in this house of fear,
[A Tribute To Kelly Johnson]
[Jackie Chambers]
Sexy girl she bought a guitar
Played the damned thing all day long
Her father knew she'd be a big star
Once she wrote that hit song
Played along to every record
Knew she'd be that good soon
Knew in time there'd be some rewards
For all those years spent in her room
She was the one, everybody loved
Remembered forever
By everyone she knew
She was the one everybody loved
A legend forever
We're so glad we knew you!
Joined a band, got to play live
So much to give, so much to prove
A marshall amp, an overdrive
Had her sound and her first review
Toured the world and made the charts
Years went by, she'd reached her goals
Made some friends and broke some hearts
Sex drugs and rock and roll
She was the one, everybody loved
Remembered forever
By everyone she knew
She was the one everybody loved
A legend forever
We're so glad we knew you!
Time came to leave the band
Another life in a different place
Swapped rain for sun, sea and sand
This girl was hard to replace
It didn't work out, came back home
Back how it used to be
Would have changed if she'd only known
Our greatest tragedy
She was the one, everybody loved
Remembered forever
By everyone she knew
She was the one everybody loved
A legend forever
We're so glad we knew you!
She was the one, She was the one,
Remembered forever
She was the one,
She was the one, She was the one,
Spirit in black
Manifest tonight
Praise of death
Flames ignite
Bring us rage
That we once knew
The golden age
Of the chosen few
Your legacy we defend
Not myth but fucking legend
Legend
We’ve dug so many graves
Endless souls we’ve slayed
In death there is no end
Rise and kill again
Fucking legend
The antichrist
Before our eyes
Does Jesus save
Hear the lies
Blackest death
Coven takes hold
Now they possess
As was foretold
Your legacy we defend
Not myth but fucking legend
Legend
We’ve dug so many graves
Endless souls we’ve slayed
In death there is no end
Rise and kill again
Fucking legend
The killing fields
Thick with our blood
Silent screams
Beneath the flood
Show no mercy
Make no mistake
Eternal symphony
None shall forsake
Your legacy we defend
Not myth but fucking legend
Legend
We’ve dug so many graves
Endless souls we’ve slayed
In death there is no end
Rise and kill again
Fucking legend
All my doubts will vanish this night
With the arrival of the master of the Darkness and the Light
With the mournful wolves howl beneath the shadowy walls
Of the ancient citadel in time of the tolls
And the wanderers ride to be blessed by His Might
From the mouth of the Abyss where things have no names
And all creatures 're created of Dark Blood and Flames
Where the Sky and the Ground are united in one
And the Eternity once has begun
We are rising
The Darkest of Names
Eternal for those who's alive and forbidden for the Wretched Ones
We bring the Revelation of days
For the Souls going not
From nowhere to nowhere
Following the Wind Wizard Omin has reached
The Castle that stands in the Forest Bewitched
By Sonm - the Second Wanderer, He came from the Nord
And now's greeting lord Omin by rising his Sword
And they rode to the East being quicker than a beast
In the eerie mountains under shroud of the Frost
They have met Lord Anth - the Shepherd of Ghosts
And three demon-like wanderers moved to the valley
Where every Dark Soul gives the Oath to Unholy
Oh now and forever our choice is made
We swear by our Hearts and our blood on the Blade
The Land of the Silent Scarlet Dawn
Waits for us to be enthroned
I shall lead you to the Magic Forest
Deep underground in emerald caves
There is no daylight in there
And tunes of a flute
Are in grace with Darkness
I watched the end
I watched the virus take them one by one
I saw them rise
To walk the night in hunger ever more
Destroy!
I am the Last man
I am alone
A walking legend, proof of what's gone by
And I live to fight
I'll take them down until my final cry
Destroy!
I am the Last man
I am the end
I can see the end
I see the end
Destroy!
