Legacy - Despised Icon

Confusion’s in your eyes

Confronted by, 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 there

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

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, 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
