Attika - When Heroes Fall lyrics

(Longobardi, Patelski) When you came upon the land To free our people They followed you to reach A higher glory But when you tried to show them How to break from their chains They didn't want to soil their hands As you scarred your very own You're never forgiven When you bare your frail humanity For their flock must face Their righteous vanity. Know the sign of their frustration When you've overstayed your welcome Beware the fear in their eyes When Heroes Fall. In the beginning You were held in high esteem But then your words began To fall on ears of stone And when you force your ways On the disenchanted You become a scapegoat For all the superstitions. And all these shattered people Who pledged worship Who seeked you out to Pacify their void For all the wealth of Truth That's cast upon them It becomes a blinding light When the magic is all gone. For now You're nothing to those people They turn on you to only follow Some other golden idol. Know the sign of their frustration When you've overstayed your welcome Know the fear in their eyes When Heroes Fall. You left yourself A vulnerable open wound And they seized upon your Power from within You set yourself up for the fall. And when they feed on you And drain your very being And you're left behind a Noble empty shell. Then the roar of the crowd Turns from cheer to jeer When everyone has taken Everything you have to offer. And now You're run out of the cities You're spurned and then forgotten As you pa** the torch of power. Hear the crash of the spirits Of the foolish draped in darkness Hear the decay of purity When the real world calls. Understand that the ma**es Have no need for tired truths They'll create another savior That won't shatter their illusions. Know the sign of their frustration When you've overstayed your welcome Beware the fear in their eyes When Heroes Fall.
