Questions for a hero
What does it take to be a hero?
To tear back the flesh of the moment,
Reveal it's true nature,
Strike terror at its heart, and
Bleed hope back into the land.
Nurture imaginations and captivate dreams.
Yet all the time, they know
That evil will surface again,
The violent upsurge of lava
Breeching our every defence.
Why try to fight back when all hope is lost?
To tear back the flesh of the moment,
Reveal it's true nature,
Strike terror at its heart, and
Bleed hope back into the land.
Nurture imaginations and captivate dreams.
Yet all the time, they know
That evil will surface again,
The violent upsurge of lava
Breeching our every defence.
Why try to fight back when all hope is lost?
