Heroes
K.O. PATRIA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were brave, you were bold
You had everything you wanted in the world
You wandered through the galaxies
But the only thing you wanted was me
Whatever happened to our heroes
They turned to dust and blew away
A bitter unrequited love
You were the one I'm dreaming of
Forbidden fruit the sweetest taste
All you wanted was my beautiful face
Whatever happened to our heroes
They turned to dust and blew away
Whatever happened to our heroes
They turned to dust and blew away




Whatever happened to our heroes
They turned to dust and blew away
