The Legacy

Summoned by the elders on my 7th winter
 The greatness I had been born, so it was told
 They knew they were not wrong
 My task I would perform
 They told me of the gods and of stories I had not heard
 To greatness I had been born, so it was told
 I knew they were not wrong
 A grown man I had become
 Thus did the meaning unfold
 Fearless I'd embrace my death
 I would not die like those now old
 Nor would the years weary my face
 Handed down from father to son
 The legacy lives on
 Thus did the meaning unfold
 Fearless I'd embrace my death
 I would not die like those now old
 Nor would the years weary my face
 Handed down from father to son
 The legacy lives on
 They returned from far across the sea
 Bringing gifts from a land so far away
 I was given a sword made of steel and shiny gold
 Just like the hammer of the gods
 Thus did the meaning unfold
 Fearless I'd embrace my death
 I would not die like those now old
 Nor would the years weary my face
 Handed down from father to son
 The legacy lives on
