Heroes

If you try and walk this earth along

The jackal cry can chill you to the bone

But you are warrior; death has no sting

Searching through the ruins for the angel with the broken wing

You saw the dragon fall, a sword through his heart

His kingdom divided, torn apart

Battle lines are drawn, the streets are clear

The city is hidden in unholy fear

Fog was thick, and dripping wet

Flame boiling in beads of sweat

Legs grow weary, lungs are weak

Throat so dry you hardly speak

Cobwebs string across your path

The distance of steel, the swords to clash

Batting eyes thaw, thirst of rage

Those beastly demons performing

On stage

I'm standing on the sword of the Dragon

He can't pull it from beneath of my feet

Down in the darkened cavern

In the field of blood I'll watch him bleed

Watching the smoke rise from the wounded hero

Standing dazed in the acid rain

A bitter taste is in the air

I hear the danger of the tightening chains

Heroes, heroes

Heroes are not here to stay

They will all fade away

Except the one who raised

I crawled through the ruins of old

Beneath its rubble lies a city of gold

His hands are chapped and bleeding cold

Returning all the riches that had been stolen

The people stand in the streets to stare

The hangman releases his chilling cry

The heavens split to see the earth

The serpent is wrenching his silence sigh

Heroes, heroes

Heroes are not here to stay

They will all fade away

Except the one who raised

Heroes, heroes

He rose, he rose
