LEGACY

Standing in the silence where the battle used to rage Smoke still rising from the ground, turning history's page Bodies of our enemies scattered on the field Both the demons and the tyrants finally made to yield Children peek out from the ruins, eyes still full of fear Don't know yet that freedom's won, don't know the coast is clear We paid a price in blood and tears that only we can know But something new begins today from seeds we chose to sow Legacy, what do we leave? Legacy, what will they believe? When the stories all get told Will they know what we were for? Years will pass and scars will fade, monuments will rise They'll carve our names in marble stone and paint us in the skies But will they understand the choice we made that fateful day When human wars and demon wars both came our way? We didn't fight for glory's sake or riches from the crown We fought because the innocent were being beaten down And sometimes evil comes in forms that nobody expects From beings born in hell's own flames to those who we elect Legacy, they need to know Legacy, how freedom grows When the darkness comes again They'll remember how we win Someday there'll be other wars, other tyrants rise Other demons find their way through interdimensional skies But now they'll have the knowledge of the ancient ways we found Now they'll know that prayer and steel can hold the sacred ground The fortune tellers and the seers won't be cast aside The Viking spirits and old methods won't be forced to hide We've built a bridge between the worlds of mystical and real Shown that wisdom works the best when married to cold steel Legacy, this is our gift Legacy, when spirits lift Ancient methods never die They just wait for the right cry Standing here I realize what we've really done Not just won a pair of wars, but made two worlds as one Every child that grows up free, every prayer that's heard Every time the old ways save them with an ancient word This isn't just about today, this moment that we've won This is about the future and what we've begun The legacy we're leaving is a roadmap through the dark For when the next war comes to test the human spark Legacy, forever strong Legacy, right conquers wrong In the songs they'll sing of us They'll remember what we were Not just soldiers, not just men But the bridge from now to then Legacy, our gift of hope Legacy, how people cope When the darkness comes again They'll know how the story ends
