Legacy

All I leave is honesty
To take a place in history
I've played the fool in a cruel world of fate
Played the hunter
The hunter who's learned to wait
An envy that knows no scorn, that's mine
All that I leave
It is my crime
To the judgment of a future day
I mix my blood with ink

There's no other way
To set this conscience free
This legacy
Here's to posterity
Would you believe me (I'd play the part)
Would you believe me (words from the heart)
Faith is no security (this legacy)
For posterity (this legacy)
The guilt, I cannot wear the mask
To hide the shame upon my face
When I am my own judge, jury, and witness to the crimes that run the human race
To set this conscience free
This legacy
For posterity
So would you believe me (I could play the part)
Would you believe me (I'd cross my heart)
Wisdom in its purity(this legacy)
To set this conscience free
