Memphis May Fire - Legacy Lyrics






Chances to move mountains are few and far between,
But only unseen by those who choose them to be
Live every day like it's your last chance to be heard and seen,
Because the good die young and the great change the course of history

Stop blending in and start speaking out!
You'll never know what you can do if you don't try now
Lift up your eyes discouraged one
Keep moving forward until your battles have been won

They say you were created to do great things,
But words only come to life when you believe
Stop blending in
Start speaking out!
Don't miss your opportunity

Do you have the courage to follow your heart?
Your life could be over before you ever had a chance to start

Take what you can get while you can get it
And don't let anybody stand in your way
If you've got what it takes, make them believe it
They need to hear you from a mile away!

They say you were created to do great things,
But words only come to life when you believe
Stop blending in
Start speaking out!
Don't miss your opportunity

Lift up your eyes discouraged one.
When you feel like giving up,
When they say it can't be done
It's up to you to show them why they're wrong

Lift up your eyes discouraged one.
When you feel like giving up,
When they say it can't be done
It's up to you to show them why they're wrong

Lift up your eyes discouraged one.
When you feel like giving up,
When they say it can't be done
Show them they're wrong!

What you do is up to you.
Follow your heart and you will never lose
They say you were created to do great things,
But words only come to life when you believe!

You were created to do great things,
But words only come to life when you believe
Stop blending in
Start speaking out!
Don't miss your opportunity

Reach for the sky!
Nothing's impossible when you realize the strength is inside
Embrace the struggle when it's all you can see
Words only come to life when you believe

  8. P.... ....

    I can only listen to this type of music when I'm working out, anything else it just feels off.

    I have so much respect for these guys.

    This composition is just so fucking inspiring beyond any sane limits, the lyrics and sound hitting feels so right.
    Simply Epic.

  12. F.... 0....

    This song is everything to me! Helps me through my tough times and helps me feel like I was created to do great things!

  13. c.... s....

    I was 24 and lost when I first heard this song, dead end job, dead end life. I quickly moved on to other music that summer...

    still, I took the lyrics to heart, it's corny that a breakdown, chug fest of a metalcore song can make a 30 year old man tear up but, seeing this pop up in my recommended list, thinking back on the long slow crawl out of the hole I had dug myself... actually hit me so hard tonight.

    it's true, if you're doing something for the right reasons... it may not be fun or easy, but it will guide you to salvation. personal salvation, I'm not a believer, but I believe that you decide your fate. if you find yourself lost and discouraged, there is a way out. it's up to you to put in the work.

  14. M.... V....

  27. S.... P....

    Can you please do a re-release or master work of challenger, its a really good album but the sound quality always clips in my computer for some reason, i have a really good idea that musicians should rework their old work with new music videos and re-imagined, like vermillion has two parts something like taking the sinner and re-making the music video with the new you and better graphics, or someone can make a cartoon version to save time.

  28. J.... W....

    recently replaced drugs and alcohol with working out and this song is on my workout playlist 5 times, it keeps me keepin on... especially when I'm the discouraged one.

  29. 5.... c....

    i share this everywhere because its so good, and no one likes it. fuck em' >.>

  30. H.... E....

    Stop blending in start speaking out I have tattooed on my right shoulder

  31. J.... K....

    you know, I've been really depressed lately and the only thing that will help is sitting in my room after work in the dark listening to every one of the Memphis songs, I absolutely love this band, it saddens me about the illness he's going through :(

    J.... K....

    Jason Knicely

    what illness??

    J.... K....

    I read on comments on one of the videos that the lead singer was going through some health issues And left the band, I haven't looked it up yet, just taking the word of another comment I read

    J.... K....

    not true

  32. L.... B....

    zynth sounds <3

This song gave me hope and motivated me basically on a daily basis. Now I am typing this message at my new Job, I have managed to become a software developer. Music is powerful and beautiful Thanks Memphis for letting me know when no one believes in you, all you need to do is believe in yourself

    I will lift up my eyes on you , Jesus. Amen. Isaiah 40:26

  83. M.... L....

    Life has pushed me harder than ever but this song and "Stay the Course" gave me motivation to keep pushing myself harder. Thank you Memphis May Fire "Lift up your eyes discouraged one...When you feel like giving up..When they say it can't be done...It's up to you to show them why they're wrong." :')

    M.... L....

    Me too man, this song got me through some of the darkest times of my life

  84. H.... W....

    Bullshit! Don't lie to yourselves, not all of us are supposed to have a good life, to live happy and make your dreams come true. Some are losers born to lose. I'm a loser. Without losers there are no winners.

    H.... W....

    @Hati Wolfheart i salute you (im also one of those losers haha

    H.... W....

    Cheers!

    H.... W....

    @Hati Wolfheart you could not be more wrong

    H.... W....

    You're only a loser if you think you are. I have lost many times in my life, but I never stopped. I pressed harder. I became a singer/musician, I became a champion runner, and in two years accomplished more than I ever believed I could. But that only happened when I made a conscious decision that I wasn't gonna let myself or any of the others who said I couldn't do it get in my way. Sure you may lose, but by not losing hope you've already won a battle not many win. Only if you don't try is there any true disgrace; if you've tried and failed, you've at least tried, and not many people get the concept of trying anymore.

    You may not know me, and I may not know you, but I believe in you even if you don't believe in yourself. Never give up.

    H.... W....

    I believe what you say, but sometimes circumstances are just much bigger than us and our will. For example a disease, physical or psychological, can devastate your life and keep you stuck in the same situation for years and years. That's my case too. I'm not going to specify or explain more about my situation, but trust me when I say that there are things that go beyond our will and our control. Hoping at some point just feels like covering the truth of reality with illusions.

  85. K.... D....

    Definitely my favorite song! Besides the victim.:)

  86. M.... M....

    The power in his words doe.

  87. P.... ....

    Those fucking lyrics man...

  88. B.... ....

    Challenger = Perfection

    B.... ....

    +BrightDarkness Agreed. Now if only their next album will be as good as this one... Unconditional turned me off of them.. Most of those songs just didn't have that MMF shimmer to it... but I always come back to this album.

    B.... ....

    You spelled "The Hollow" wrong. ; )

  89. m.... ....

    damn, first time he screams "stop blending in and start speaking out" gave me the chills

  90. A.... i....

    I love this song

  91. R.... W....

    R.... W....

  95. P.... ....

    I used this song for a school project dedicated to monty oum. "Keep moving forward till your battles have been won." is a quote he would have agreed with.

    P.... ....

    @M L JESUS how dare you put these tears in my eyes

  96. T.... H....

    This song actually came on at youth one night and it was my pastors last day there before he moved to Florida and man my eyes lit up when I realized it was playing, it made my night. I love this song so much!

  97. G.... O....

    Everytime I am feeling down this song always keeps me motivated as soon as it comes on. Thank you Memphis for such a great song.

  98. T.... D....
