Heroes End

Judas Priest

I heard a human voice who sang like no one else

I heard a proud lady singing loud

Lived her life as she liked, didn't give a damn

But soon she found she was underground and wasted



I watched her hitting notes as she strutted stage

Her body shook oh, she did her stuff

She screamed and quake, give and take, maybe took too much

If you take the smooth you gotta take the rough



Why do you have to die to be a hero

It's a shame a legend begins at its end

Why do you have to die if you're a hero

When there's still so many things to say unsaid



I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd

I felt the sound shower 'round

And he would take you with him where no music's been before

As you merged the power surge together



His music knew no limits if you were in it's wake

You had no choice, no, but hear its voice

And you would listen hypnotised, and in a dream

But once so strong survive or become weak



Why do you have to die to be a hero

It's a shame a legend begins at its end

Why do you have to die if you're a hero

When there's still so many things to say unsaid



If you gaze across timeless years you'll find them always there

And many gods will join the list compiled with dying care

Hungry mouths are waiting to bite the hand that feeds

And so the living dead carry on immortal deeds



I saw on silver screen an actor's rise to fame

But fast car user lose

That legend's born from death and that is such a shame

'cos every year new ones appear



Why do you have to die to be a hero

It's a shame a legend begins at its end

Why do you have to die if you're a hero

When there's still so many things to say unsaid.
