Wasted Legacy

We strive to build up
Something worth remembering
But as time flies
Our deeds and achievments die

Even ancient legacies
Are just leaves in the wind
Blown away, forgotten
As the universe expands

We are just tiny ants
In the scope of this limitless world
Holding on forever
Not knowing that it's just a glimpse

You are not special
Nothing will last forever
So be sure to live now
Don't waste the time you could spend
By building something
That's futile in the end
No more distractions
Or you'll suffer and repent

Suffer and repent

Our will is stubborn
Fighting the fact it will all end
In this constant struggle
To be remembered, but you can't

Stop wasting your energy
On creating an in vain legacy
'Cause if nothing changes
Humanity won't outlast itself

With growing hate
Greed and lust, that reigns this world
We'd be lucky to see the sun
Lapsing the last sign of life

We are not special
Nothing will ever prevail
So be sure to live now
Don't waste the time we could spend
By building something
That's futile in the end
No more distractions
Or we'll suffer and repent
