We The Legends

Want my name on everyone's tongue, 
the dream I saw when I was young.

In the books should be engraved, 
over the place my statues be made.

Would be used as an example, for the victories, I'd gamble.

My name shouldn't vanish with waves, 
scribble on the rocks, should stand brave.

Hundred years later, they'd remember me.
Legends never die, they just get free.
