The Legacy Lyrics
We're gonna take you back
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy
I could laugh and play
And live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul
The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return
Looking at the sky
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through
Wish the sky would say
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same
Turn the pages back in time
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late
Like was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy
And live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name

Great song, how come there's no comments on this? As for the meaning... I think it's about someone who becomes famous and also becomes somewhat egocentric, then stops being famous and is frustrated that no one knows him anymore.
Thats how I understood it too..about losing yourself when you reach fame. 'I know I would never die And forever shining through' - You feel immortal but as time quickly passes, reality hits you when your fame fades and you feel your life is worthless.
This song is amazing!!! The video is really good too. I'd defenitly have to agree with Elimination's interpretation.
great song period every part is perfect
I think that it's about someone who becomes famous, and feels nobody knows who he truely is.
Perhaps someone famous turning into a ghost?
Just got into Testament and are so good! And this is probably the best slower metal song ever.
are y'all totally in denial the song is real clear what it's about Is about a person, perhaps the singer selling your soul for fame and fortune to the devil as the old Eagles song says you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave and that's what they teach in the occult the devil promises eternal life too you know. Looking at the sky I knew I would never die.
