The Prophecy of Legacy.


There is a pervading lack of trust
A bitter after taste of disgust
The knowledge within society
About guilty crimes of impropriety

A man once said let it be known
Whoever is without sin cast the first stone
And as logical reason was sought and found
Those stones remained upon the ground

The world is full hypocrisy
Regret, lies and heresy
Can this be healed by a cleansing flood
Washed away by the heretic's blood

We are all born to die
No matter how hard we try
To find the elixir or the fable
That can stop the inevitable

So here and now your legacy plan
Your life's statement, woman and man
Looking forward you will find
All in life you've left behind
