Heroes End — текст песни (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, didnt 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

Its a shame a legend begins at its end

Why do you have to die if youre a hero

When theres still so many things to say unsaid



I heard a mans guitar electrify a crowd

I felt the sound shower round

And he would take you with him where no musics been before

As you merged the power surge together



His music knew no limits if you were in its wake

You had no choice, no, but hear its voice

And you would listen hypnotized, and in a dream

But once so strong survive or become weak



Why do you have to die to be a hero

Its a shame a legend begins at its end

Why do you have to die if youre a hero

When theres still so many things to say unsaid



If you gaze across timeless years youll 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 actors rise to fame

But fast car user lose

That legends born from death and that is such a shame

cos evry year new ones appear



Why do you have to die to be a hero

Its a shame a legend begins at its end

Why do you have to die if youre a hero

When theres still so many things to say unsaid.
