[Lyric] Heroes (Alioof)

[Verse 1]
First there was Perseus
The golden boy, Gorgon slayer
Murdered in cold blood
Then, of course, there’s Heracles
Whose battle-hardened body was
Poisoned by his love
Jason wasn’t special
Just a washed-up womanizer
Whose children were slain
Daedalus somehow made
Freedom out of feathers
Yet his son died in vain

[Chorus]
Like you they were heroes
They livеd a life of tragedy
I charge a pеnny for my thoughts
But I’ll tell you this for free
Heroes don’t get a happy ending
The good guys can’t have any fun
So if you want to be a hero
Then be prepared to die like one
[Verse 2]
Powerful Achilles was
Invincible and idolized
Yet he still lost
Odysseus made it home
From his onerous odyssey
But at what cost?
Orpheus had a chance
To save his stolen love
But he messed up the tune
Theseus, I hope you like
These stories full of sorrow
‘Cause you’ll be one soon

[Chorus]
Go ahead and be a hero
Live a life of tragedy
I charge a penny for my thoughts
But I’ll tell you this for free
Heroes don’t get a happy ending
The good guys can’t have any fun
So if you still want to be a hero
You’re gonna die like one

[Chorus 2]
I used to want to be a hero
I wanted glory and fame
But I was only ever used
Until they snuffed out my flame
I’m gonna end your legend
Before it even begins
For a wanna-be hero
It’s the only fitting end
