The City Of Heroes

I belong to the city of heroes,
where wind was pleasant, every morning the sun rose,
on the mountain hill God dwelled,
all slept, all  were fed, all was well.


I belong to the city of heroes.


Where everybody stood up,
and hailed the king,
even the Champion of the world,
couldn't knock him down in the ring.


I belong to the city of heroes!


Everyone worked hard,
and got along well,
if that wan't heaven,
then it surely wan't hell!


I belong to the city of heroes!


And one day a snake slithered in,
hissed in anger and pride and it grinned,
and then it was asking for the wealth and the gold,
a demon that was lost, that one who was old.


I belong to the city of heroes!


It yelled at them,
shook their conscience right on spot,
and who didn't wanna be happier,
if only it wasn't for money but the lot!


I belong to the city of heroes!


Blood spilled out from the shower,
a flood which took it all away,
there were brothers wandering out,
who sold their sisters in the gateway.


I belong to the city of heroes!


And the King is crippled now,
his numb feet, a cold belief,
look at the invader wicked,
he has got his position secured,
he is at his relief.


I belong to the city of heroes!


The windows are dusky,
there's a cop getting killed,
if peace was ever born, they say,
wasn't it on this land of filth?


I belong to the city of heroes!


I can't see my home nearby,
can you see your's?
Is it near, is it safe?
I'm not familiar with the streets,
there's too much smoke, it seems fake!


Didn't I belong to the city of heroes,
where all slept, all were fed, all was well!
But this isn't Heaven for sure,
n i'm not sure if it's Hell!


I thought, i belonged to the city of Heroes...
