Racing faster
Escape disaster
Partners in crime will leave their mark
We make our own way
No thoughts of yesterday
Black hearts of chrome and battle scars

Whoa

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings
Rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny

We came from nothing
But promise one thing
We'll change the world with these guitars
So listen closely
And don't stop working
No one can tell you who you are
(Tell you who you are)

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings
Rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings
Rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny

Go!

Look! (look)
Look!
Never look back!
Look! (look)
Look!
Never look back!
Look!
Look!
Look!
Never look back!

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings
Rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings
Rose from the streets
With the hands on destiny
