"Legend" (2007)

4m 47s

Legend

Driven by your passion
And inspired by your fear
The silent tick of hours passing
The end was never clear

Be it quill to paper
Or painting on a wall
Oh yeah, we didn't get it
But your genius would say it all

And now you're a legend with no where to go
It's time for you to set off once again alone

The magic of a maestro
Laying down some tunes
Or the colour of an artist
Conjuring up the blues

No one understood you
Or saw you in a book
People shouldn't know
What that last chapter took

Chorus

And today was, was the last day
We will ever see you do something new
Where you're going we can't follow
Will you wait for us, Legend

No one understood you
Or saw you in a book
People shouldn't know
What that last chapter took

And now you're a shadow with no where to go
It's time for you to set off once again alone

Great artists are never fully appreciated in their time but only after a period of reflection. The climax of the song is just after 3 minutes.

"Why did the likes of a Bach or Van Gogh or Shakespeare keep on going when only they could truly appreciate their own work."
