Dan Amrich - Another Hero Falls (feat. Moorea Dickason) Lyrics

Don't tell me that you love me
I've heard it all before
You have my soul, I have your key
But I need something more

I felt an obligation
So I assumed the debt
For 15 years of service
I haven't been paid yet

And to think I fought to save this place
Did you ever care at all
You can blame yourself, it's your disgrace
Every time...another hero falls

You said you would remember
No sacrifice in vain
A year ago December
You can't recall the name

The saints of Saint Christina
We don't get to retire
You don't respect the struggle
You will respect the fire

You reduce me to a pretty face
Who comes when duty calls
There's an ugly truth you can't erase
Every time
I have done as you commanded
Every day what you've demanded
You are twisted, you are slanted
After years here's where I've landed
Your agenda is supplanted
No more lies, I'm disenchanted
No more leaving empty-handed
No more taking me for granted

Your worship is pathetic
Your values are a joke
When flame consumes the kindling
We all go up in smoke

The rats who think they're clever
Had flaws in every plan
I know that I know better
Catch me if you can

I have searched for years to find my place
I am free, and that is all
I feel no regret for your mistakes
Every time another hero falls
