Tony, Caro & John - There Are No Greater Heroes lyrics

You followers of that happiness Which sweetly severs your blinkered brain Who avoid the paths of chaos And reduce life to a plane Observe the ones who shun the hearth And walk out in the rain Their eyes like headlights blazing Through the tightening rings of pain There are no greater heroes than these Through the deep sea-canyons Of the ocean of despair Through the lonely constellations They are wandering into the rareifying air There are no greater heroes than these Look at them in wonder From your comfort and your ease For there are no greater heroes than these When your d**h-flash cracks like thunder Even then you'll hardly see When your life-line snaps asunder You will fall away like leaves And the years will tread you under Till you blend into the peat But take a long last look in wonder At these others who your pleasures have beaten down For there are no greater heroes than these
