Fading Hero Lyrics

The wind carries a name I've heard before

A hero who promised but couldn't restore

The weight of the world pressed into my skin

A battle I'm losing a war I can't win

I was meant to save the day

But time has stolen me away

The stars don't guide me anymore

Just a fading hero nothing more

The streets are quiet the clocks don't chime

Each breath I take feels out of time

The machines have risen the dream has died

And I'm still here just trying to survive

I was meant to save the day

But hope has slowly slipped away

A distant voice a closing door

I'm a fading hero nothing more

Every child dreams of glory

But the years rewrite the story

The capes fray the colors fade

We're left with all the plans we've betrayed

I was meant to save the day

But life got in the way

No victory no final score

Just a fading hero nothing more

Now the light is low the fight is done

The hero I was is overrun

The machines still hum their endless chore

And I am nothing nothing more
