"Hero" lyrics

You feel it's time that you name this difference.
Don't lie sister of suffrage
I have given anything you've asked for
Full steam ahead, oh don't you worry
My hands have never been so steady
Don't flinch and the pain will soon be over

And when the lights come on and you're not around
They'll soon come runnin

We've made it alive while the music plays tonight, oh yeah.
If this is a test then our will is good
again and again
We levy the flood while the back beats in our blood
And won't you feel like a big hero
When we're finally left out here alone

So many ways to die choose one
Don't cry you fortunate son
I will feed the fire till your eardrums blister
I've got an imagination if you wanna test me further
How can you stand there and call me brother
Treading on patience quiet as a whisper
But when the lights come on and you're not around
Well they'll soon come runnin

We've made it alive while the music plays tonight, oh yeah.
If this is a test then our will is good
again and again
We levy the flood while the back beats in our blood
And won't you feel like a big hero
When we're finally left out here alone

Here alone. Here alone. Here alone.

You can run if you want to honey
Stand your ground if you're wantin' to
But I ain't runnin' no more
(I gotta keep hanging on)
And I'm playin' for keeps, yeah

We've made it alive while the music plays tonight, oh yeah.
If this is a test then our will is good
We've made it alive while the music plays tonight, oh yeah.
If this is a test then our will is good
again and again
We levy the flood while the back beats in our blood
And won't you feel like a big hero
When we're finally left out here alone
