Hero
Pegboard Nerds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hero, hero
Hero, hero
Hero, hero
I wanna be a hero, hero

Oh the hero comes
I can hear the drums
And the horses run
To the kingdom come
Through the pale moonlight
Our hearts ignite to the call

Claim your prize
For a crown of stars
In the name of love
Be the sacrifice
You and I will stand and fight
Our backs to the wall

Hero, hero
Hero, hero
Hero, hero
I wanna be a hero, hero

I wanna be a hero

No escape
Let the fever rise
As our horses rage
And our goal's in sight
Maybe I'm the one
I'm the one who will fall

Lay me down
On a bed of stone
I will wait for you
As I rest my soul
I will watch you ride
When you reply to the call

Hero, hero
Hero, hero
Hero, hero
I wanna be a hero, hero

I wanna be a hero

Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes
Don't be scared
Shut your eyes
Watch those lights
From the stars
In your head
Hypnotized

Join the fight
For what's right
Let your heart
Be your guide

Ой герой, герой ты мой (Oi geroi, geroi ti moi)
Вот зовет герой меня в бой (Vot zoviot geroi menia vboy)




Ой герой, герой ты мой (Oi geroi, geroi ti moi)
ты возьми подругу с собой. (ti vozmi podrugu soboi)

The lyrics show that heroes are driven by a higher purpose, a sense of duty, to fight for what is right, to let their hearts be their guide, laying all else aside, and joining the fight.

Hero, hero
Hero, hero
Hero, hero
I want to be a hero

Oh the hero comes
I can hear the drums
And our horses run to the kingdom come
Through the pale moonlight

In the name of love
Be the sacrifice
You and I will stand and fight
Our backs to the wall

Oh Hero, hero

Let the fever rise
As our horses rage
And our goal's in sight;
Maybe I'm the one -
I'm the one who will fall

Oh, lay me down
On a bed of stone
I will wait for you
As I rest my soul

Yes, I'm so stoked that Pegboard's made some Hard Dance. Hopefully this will inspire more MC artist to explore the genre since there isn't enough of that now. Anyway, thanks for the track, Pegboards. (:

When you are 13 years old and just arrived home from school, turn on your computer and do nothing with this masterpiece in your ears.
You started to get hobbies, you started to find what is your purpose to live.
It is so nostalgic to me nowdays, after 7 years.
Thank you my Hero.
