The sands pass through the hourglass of your life You say you wanna leave behind something that's nice No matter what I already said to you Or what type of bullshit they fed to you every night Ambition is trapped inside your eyes So much so that it makes you blind You built up quite a little regimen You see yourself as a legend in your mind Like a rock next to the sea Water wears it away eventually All of the legends will be forgotten No matter what you say or do Even Jesus Christ is relatively new All of the legends will be forgotten An old house gets torn down where it stands It was built by your grandfather's bare hands Make way for a shopping mall The memories really don't last too long at all An old king that thousands once called sire Is like an old reel of film lost in a fire Every last one of the Kennedy's Your favorite love song's melody expires Like a rock next to the sea Water wears it away eventually All of the legends will be forgotten No matter what you say or do Even Jesus Christ is relatively new All of the legends will be forgotten All of the legends will be forgotten
