Who is This Hero of Mine?

With the loss of friends and love,

Dawns the brutal darkness,

As I yearn towards the sky above,

Crying out for his intangible embrace.

How I long for him to be here today

How I long to have his protection

As this world I now set out to betray

How I long to know who my hero is

His death came sudden

His death came soon

His death came before

I could ever know him

Why do I idolize this stranger

This man I will never know.

As a child I found refuge in the

Wonder of his magnificent immortality

Now his colors are filling in the blanks

The more I hear of him.

He was not the man I see but

A man I will never know

How I long for him to be here today

How I long for his protection

As this world sets out to betray

My trust.

His death came sudden

His death came soon

His death came before

I could ever meet him

Out in the cold I sit again

But this time with out my hero

With out my friends

And with out a refuge.

I stare out my windshield at the tree above

And I cry, I cry, I cry

Sobbing as the gun lay in my lap

Never before have I gone so far

I’m drowning in my own tears

Sobbing loudly, but no one hears me

No one will pull me out

Allowing me to suffer my…

How I long for anyone to be here today

How I long to have their protection

As this world I now set out to betray

How I long to know who my hero is

My death came sudden

My death came soon

My death came before

You could stop me
