Where Do The Heroes Go?
when a hero has had his day in the sun
when the battle is truly lost and won
where do the heroes go
to fight the demon armies of their mind
where do the heroes go to let the tangled web unwind
we tell you disappear
you’re no longer welcome here
thanks to you the danger’s gone
now we must all move on
but where do the heroes go
with blood and guts still spooling through their mind
where do the heroes go
how do they move on when the pictures in their mind
rewind
rewind
remind
where do they go
untidy huddle of a blanket in the street
unholy muddle from victory comes defeat
it’s here the heroes lie
to fight the demon armies of their mind
it’s here the heroes lie
to let the tangled web unwind
we hoped you’d disappear
instead you’re lying here
where you lie you’re in our way
as we try to lead our lives
it’s here the hero lies
what life has he to lead when in part he died
where another hero lies –
a hero from the other side who died
he died
he died
he survived –
but in truth he died
we tell you disappear
you’re no longer welcome here
thanks to you the danger’s gone
now we must all move on
but where do the heroes go
with blood and guts still spooling through their mind
where do the heroes go
how do they move on when the pictures in their mind
rewind
rewind
remind
where do they go
