Legends

your mind is living free
and the legend outlives
without any trust
or what it can give 
always been a stranger
but you are in serious danger
of giving up on your heart's beliefs

let down your guard
you don't need protection
disregard the techno images
and live by random selection
your heart is not for sale
there is no price for its freedom
but all the things you use
are there longer than you need them

where is it that you go
when change is coming down? 
who is it that you love?
that makes your heart pound 
in a place of constant strangers
you are in serious danger
of giving up on your heart's beliefs

I can stay behind
or wait in the sidelines
while your love runs blindly away
let down your guard
you don't need protection from me
it has always been what I led you to believe
