Living Legend
The great ones of a time,
Fall before they rise.
Those names live on forever,
And are seen from times to come.
Living turn to hero,
And hero into dead.
Dead turn into legend,
And legend to fable.
After a time they are forgotten,
All but tiny bits.
But strangely enough they rise again,
When the time they left returns.
And Living turn to hero,
And hero into dead.
Dead turn into Legend.
And legend to fable.
