Farewell Hero

Farewell hero, one of the last things you hear
Before you are shrouded in a world of misery and fear
The last things you hear before you start to tempt fate
The last thing ever, before your destiny awaits
Your princess or queen, is one of the last things you’ve seen
On that sorrowful day that that your life became unclean
You lost your whole world, lost your way of life
Death is at the door instead of your wife
But are you willing to give up that easily? No!
That’s not the way this show will go!
You gather your courage and overcome fate
Now you control your destiny, you know what awaits
Instead of dread, filling your head
A sense of accomplishment flickers
The more the fire of accomplishment dwindles
It shows the more challenges you’ve overcome
As in the beginning you were alone
But now, you’re heart has become your home.
