[Verse 1]
The sands pass through the hourglass of your life
You say you wanna leave behind something that's nice
No matter what I already said to you
Or what type of bullshit they fed to you every night
Ambition is trapped inside your eyes
So much so that it makes you blind
You built up quite a little regimen
You see yourself as a legend in your mind

[Chorus]
Like a rock next to the sea
Water wears it away eventually
All of the legends will be forgotten
No matter what you say or do
Even Jesus Christ is relatively new
All of the legends will be forgotten

[Verse 2]
An old house gets torn down where it stands
It was built by your grandfather's bare hands
Make way for a shopping mall
The memories really don't last too long at all
An old king that thousands once called sire
Is like an old reel of film lost in a fire
Every last one of the Kennedy's
Your favorite love song's melody expires
[Chorus]
Like a rock next to the sea
Water wears it away eventually
All of the legends will be forgotten
No matter what you say or do
Even Jesus Christ is relatively new
All of the legends will be forgotten
All of the legends will be forgotten
