"No Heroes" lyrics

We're on our way back from parts unknown
Death grabs a hold, time takes it's toll
Wandering down the darkest roads
Night's getting cold with wrongs to atone
Burning maps of the places we go
It's starting to rain, knees turn to stone
Forgetting faces of people we know
There's no hope, there's no heroes

And I don't know much of fate
But what doesn't kill you lies in wait
(It lies in wait)

We are the warning signs
We will never forget, no we will never forget, no
We spent our whole damn lives living as children of regret

There's no hope, there's no heroes

I told you, I'm perfectly fine walking the thin line between disgraced and divine
With a heart of gold and the highest crimes
It's dawning on me as I'm growing older
That God is a bastard with a chip on his shoulder
And it's getting colder
And we lay down like dogs with wolf teeth dreams to bite the hand that feeds
But they hold all the keys, and thus we are little more than sheep
So I guess we'll always be tethered like birds of feather
Whatever the weather
We flock, fly south together, so I guess we will be lost forever

Lost forever

We are the warning signs
We will never forget, no we will never forget, no
We spent our whole damn lives living as children of regret

They buried the rich men next to the slaves
To show that in death, we are all the same
The grass is no greener, they're buried no deeper, and six feet down?
There is but one shade
Retreat to sleep, on your final day
No castles, no gods, no pride and no shame
They bear no crowns in tired ghost towns
No matter your name, they are just words on your grave

There's no hope, there's no heroes
