How has everything been turned against us? How has suffering become so endless? How am I to free myself from this misery? Do I need to change? I’m surrounded by the souls of those I’ve lost I’ve let them all down why must this be my cost What if the only one who can ever make them free Is me What if I’m their hero What if I need to stand What if I’m the failure Thats been dooming them all along What if I’m the one who killed you Every time I caved to guilt What if I’ve been far too hard on myself But a failure to you What if I’m their hero? When the parshendi loses a friend to our soldiers is he up in the middle of the night Or does he shove his remorse aside and keep fighting with pride And then sleep knowing he has done right When the bridge leader sends my men to die like flies is he going insane Or did he learn to get colder as he grew older and now he spares himself the pain When the bright lord slays my friends to make us pay Does he feel pain for those he has betrayed Or does he keep us in check to assert his strength And now no one dares to piss him off Does a surgeon weep no tears for the ones he loses because he is vile Or does he throw away his self-pity and save more lives in time If I became the hero And threw that guilt away Would that make us stronger Would it keep our friends alive If I became the hero And forgot about the past Made sure we made it out of here Who would care if we lose our hearts If I became the Hero Oh, heartlessness is mercy upon ourselves And deep down I know this well I lost my brother, my honor my men So many friends gone, this can’t go on I must get to live a life beyond these walls So if I must fight through my demons and trauma I’ll learn to keep going And if I gotta watch another friend die and not shed tears in an instant so the rest stay alive Then I’ll become their hero I will let the fallen go And I’ll become their hero Like none they’ve seen before So what if I’m their hero Hiding in my shame I must become their hero And then we’ll make it free Hero, oh Tieeeeeeen Hero, oh Amaraaaaam (turning to rage) Hero, oh Oh, heartlessness is mercy upon ourselves Hero, oh I’ll become their hero
