Screaming halt to a chunk of steel We got the news that you slipped the reel We raise a glass as you pass on by Some legends, they never die When my mind wouldn't stop Like a thrown molotov I'd just listen to the words Of the songs that picked us up The songs that got us by The type of songs we needed When the world ran dry All that's said and done, you don't have long You can live forever only in a song All that's said and done, you don't have long You can live forever only in a song With the memory sealed in glass We stood in line as the torch was passed Just as a fire tends to multiply Some legends, they never die With the torch in our hands And the fields at our feet It's the trails that we blaze That become tomorrow's roads We've all got our stories to tell Until we're given up the ghost We're gonna sing 'em 'til the bell All that's said and done, you don't have long You can live forever only in a song All that's said and done, you don't have long You can live forever only in a song Some legends, they never die (Some legends, they never die) Just a tale to a passer-by (Some legends, they never die) I think of the fallen What was their calling? The stories we tell That lift us when we're crawling And we keep 'em with us I think I know why Some legends, they never die All that's said and done, you don't have long You can live forever only in a song All that's said and done, you don't have long You can live forever only in a song Some legends, they never die Some legends, they never die Some legends, they never die Some legends, they never die
