Hero

You feel it is time, that you make a difference
Don’t lie sister of suffrage
I have given anything you’ve asked for
Full steam ahead, oh don’t you worry
My hands have never been so steady
Don’t flinch and the pain will soon be over
And when the lights come on and you’re not around
They’ll soon come runnin
We’ve made it alive, while the music plays tonight, oh yeah
If this is a test then our will is good, again and again
We levy the flood while the back beats in our blood
And won’t you feel like a big hero
When we’re finally left out here alone
So many ways, to die choose one
Don’t cry you fortunate son
I will feed the fire till your eardrums blister
I’ve got an imagination, if you wanna test me further
How can you stand there and call me brother
Treading on patience quiet as a whisper
And when the lights come on and you’re not around
They’ll soon come runnin
Here alone. Here alone. Here alone
You can run if you want to honey
Stand your ground if you’re wantin' to
But I ain’t runnin' no more. I gotta keep hanging on
And I’m playin' for keeps, yeah
