Hero Falling

HERO FALLING

Though I tried hard to believe it
Deep inside always could see it
No surprise - the hammer's been dropped
Disappeared, into the sunset
Not a trace, just like a lost bet
And the lies - they never did stop

And another hero falls
Makes me wonder if you were even there at all

Did you go? Left without a sound
Did you leave? Nowhere to be found
Did you fly? Now you're not around
Did you go? Fallen to the ground

Dissipate into the ether
Can't relate if you can neither
Give a sign or give me a clue
Getting hard - it's getting colder
Getting bad - now that I'm older
To believe - to get behind you

The illusion shatters
Now the myth's in tatters
Please try - tell me why

Did you go? Left without a sound
Did you leave? Nowhere to be found
Did you fly? Now you're not around
Another hero fallen to the ground

Did you go?
Did you leave?
Did you go?

Did you go? Left without a sound
Did you leave? Nowhere to be found
Did you fly? Now you're not around
Another hero fallen to the ground
