It's so hard to come to terms
When your future starts to burn
Faith is tougher to maintain
When the sun is going down

Close your eyes and don't complain
Or they'll cut you down in size
Save your two cents for your eyes
We're not heroes 'til we die
We're not heroes 'til we die

All we want is up ahead
But the road is ending now
And I'm going back to dust
In your crevices and frowns

Ash to ashes if we must
Trust is harder to come by
When your prayers don't reach the sky
We're not heroes 'til we die
We're not heroes 'til we die

So the crow is at your door
You might wish that you had more
But your life needs to be spent
A beginning and an end

Leave the stories to be told
Never wonder who will cry
There is no time for long goodbyes
We're not heroes 'til we die
We're not heroes 'til we die
