Despised Icon – Legacy lyrics

Confusion's in your eyes
Confronted by your own mortality
Yet you speak so softly
I know you're still in there
Inside that weakened shell, clinging to reality
A pharaoh lost in hell, fallen from our family tree
Your heart is pure, please do not despair
I know you're still in here

Blurred vision, loss of concentration
Sumerian secrets trapped inside your memory
Blessed by your presence for many generations
Sumerian secrets, we'll carry on your legacy

"Apôtre des enfants et gardien de leur foi
Vainqueur de l'ignorance, à l'âme si fatale; si fatale
Honneur à toi!
Honneur à toi! "

Our family's lord and saviour
Alas, your day will come
You will remain always a father figure
Alas, your day will come
You will remain always a father figure

Left the motherland for greener pastures
Can't you remember?
You guided us through our failures
We are of the same blood
I know you're still in there
Tired, disillusioned
Can't escape this mental prison
Your heart is pure, please do not despair
I know you're still in there

Blurred vision, loss of concentration
Sumerian secrets trapped inside your memory
Blessed by your presence, nearly for a century
Sumerian secrets, we'll carry on your legacy
We'll carry on your legacy
Sumerian secrets, we'll carry on your legacy

Cradle to the grave
Tales from the Nile flooding the Saint Lawrence
No more denial, no more suffering in silence
Cradle to the grave
At peace with your sentence
