Legacy
Embracing Change: A Tale of Transformation in Dan Bettridge's 'Legacy'
Lyrics
It was a dark and grey Tuesday morning,
Describing a gloomy Tuesday morning.
When the priest lay down his whites in mourning,
The priest mournfully removes his ceremonial attire.
Sat by his fire, renounced his calling,
The priest sits by the fire, giving up his religious duties.
There was a change coming,
Anticipation of a significant change.
There's a rain falling.
The presence of imminent rain, symbolizing change.
And the farmer lay his dogs to rest,
The farmer puts his dogs to rest amidst a fiery event.
In the demon fire that came from the west,
The origin of the fire is from the west, possibly symbolic.
And he lay his head on his lover's breast,
The farmer seeks solace in his lover's embrace.
There was a change coming,
Reiteration of an impending change.
There's a rain falling.
The recurring theme of rain as a symbol of change.
And the man he sells his words as truth,
A person sells their words as truth, perhaps a commentary on deception.
Written by jesters in black and white suits,
Jesters in black and white suits symbolize those spreading falsehoods.
And you better believe they're coming for you,
A warning that deceptive individuals are targeting the listener.
There's a change coming,
Reiteration of an upcoming change.
There's a rain falling.
The continued metaphor of rain as a harbinger of change.
But there are dark and twisted, restless remains,
Reference to remnants of a misunderstood and ignored crusade.
Of a well understood, disregarded crusade,
The remains are dark and twisted, emphasizing the aftermath.
And we'll walk in silence while others complain,
The listener walks in silence amid others' complaints.
The bringers of change oh the bringers of the rain.
The "bringers of change" are also the bringers of rain, signifying a transformative force.
