 A legacy,  so far  removed,
 One day will be improved.
 Eternal  rights we left  behind,
 We were the better kind.
Two  the same, set  free too,
 I always looked to you,
 I always looked to you,
 I always looked to you.
 Verse 2. Same progression:
 We fought  for good, stood side  by side,
 Our friendship never died.
 On stranger  waves, the lows  and highs,
 Our vision touched the sky,
 Immortalists  with points  to prove,
 I put my trust in you,
 I put my trust in you,
 I put my trust in you.
 Verse 3. Again, same progression:
 A house  somewhere on foreign  soil,
 Where aging lovers call,
 Is this  your goal, your final  need?
 Where dogs and vultures eat?
 Committed  still, I turn  to go,
 I put my trust in you.
 I put my trust in you.
 I put my trust in you.
 I put my trust in you,
In  you, in  you, in  you.
 Put my trust in  you, in  you.
 (I apologize for any lyrical mistakes.)
