Heroes

If you try and walk this earth alone The jackal cry can chill you to the bone But you're a warrior Death has no sting Searching the ruins For the angle 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 a holy fear The fog was thick and dripping wet Flame boiling and beads of sweat Legs grow weary Lungs are weak Throat so dry you can hardly speak Cobwebs stream across your path The distance is still The swords to clash Batting eyes The wars still 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 My hands are chapped and bleeding cold Returning all the riches that had been stolen The people stand in the street and 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, heroes are not here to stay They will all fade away Except the one who raised Heroes
