Breaking up Again
Dark Avenger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a hero...
In flesh and bones for surviving life's endeavors on my own.
I'm a hero... I've got a soul!
Life is mine to live without your preaching grunts.

You're not a hero... far from being so.
You are just a lie with a soul, flesh and bones
You're not a hero... a ghost in this pantomime
You were made to fail and crawl, crawl like a worm!

Give me your endless love.
Keep me away from harm, quite safe and warm
I never asked to be born here, I've never knew why
That's your duty onto me 'til the end of time

You pretend that only other people
Carry burdens and you never will

Listen... Give me. Feed me. Keep me.

Is it all you can... say?

Give me your utter love;
Those begging hands you can't ignore!
I never asked to be born here, I've never knew why
That's your duty onto me 'til the end of time

You pretend that only other people
Carry burdens and you never will

Listen... Give me. Feed me. Keep me.
Is it all you can... say?
Pretender, pretender, pretender!

I'm a hero!
No, you're not at all! A ghost in this pantomime!

I'm a hero!




Liar, liar! No, nothing but a shade...
Is it all you can... say?
