Dead Hero

 

Dead Hero 

I don’t wanna be a dead hero

Please don't treat me like a coward

I'm sorry

but I'm outgunned and outmatched

I don’t wanna be a dead hero

Why me?

You have a lot of dead hero wannabes

I'm sure you'll find plenty of them

If you reward them well

Show them your flags

Give them medals

Tell them Valhalla

is waiting for them

Promise them glory

in the afterlife 

While you enjoy it 

in this one

While you enjoy

absolute power

To decide life and death

for them 

I don’t wanna be a dead hero
