What Legacy lyrics

What legacy is left

When the voice has ceased

Glory is fleeting

The infamous face, the name

Lose their meaning with time

Resigned to be mediocrity

Like those unamed passed

Pass by as time grinds husk

Featureless and plain

Having no distinction

No magnificance

A name is but a name

Faceless and nebulous

No body, no soul

A concept, no more

Deeds done in life

Live on beyond them

Tis best to make good

Its merits uncredited

For the living lay plain

The illusions of life lost

A reality never known
