Lyrics
You only can live if you never say die
The bigger the man comes the bigger the lie.
You're only as tall as the mountains you've climbed.
Make it to the top yet still left behind.
Always chasing something...bigger, better, faster.
You're only as brave as the maidens you've saved.
Never satisfied with 15 minutes of fame.
Try to ask yourself, what you're really after.
You're only blinded by the lie 'cause heroes they do die.
So take a look inside the lie 'cause heroes they do die.
There comes a time for every man to take his mighty stand.
You can't be a super man 'cause in the end heroes die.
You'll never find peace when your mind is at war.
Drawing battle lines while you're upping the score.
No one ever sold you that peace of mind comes free.
You never sell yourself what your heart won't buy.
Need to prove you wrong need to kiss the sky.
You only kiss the mirror, time to see things clear.
You're only blinded by the lie 'cause heroes they do die.
So take a look inside the lie 'cause heroes they do die.
There comes a time for every man to take his mighty stand.
You can't be a super man 'cause in the end heroes die.
You're only as strong as the threads in your cape.
Wearing them thin in the choices you make.
Still you keep it sewn on... try to hold on.
You're only blinded by the lie 'cause heroes they do die.
So take a look inside the lie 'cause heroes they do die.
There comes a time for every man to take his mighty stand.
You can't be a super man 'cause in the end heroes die.
What if you never climbed that mountain.
What if you never saved that day.
What if that man who bares his cross is a hero in his way.
