The Legacy is the 10th song from British heavy metal band Iron Maiden's 2006 album A Matter of Life and Death. The song is the last track on the album and was written by Janick Gers and Steve Harris. Having a length of 9 minutes and 22 seconds it is the second longest song on the album, only exceeded by For the Greater Good of God, by two seconds.
In an interview posted on the official site prior to the album's release, drummer Nicko McBrain said of the song: "The acoustic intro is just, how can I say, ehm, it’s a concerto! It’s a work of art. The last chord, I mean THE last chord is just ‘Fuck my old boots, is it finished now! Can I have a rest!?' Just listening to Jan’s guitar work is so super intense, I think."
