Stare in wonder Who's here to bring you down? Find your martyr I'm sure you've made the crown So light a fire under my bones, so when I die for you, at least I'll die alone Ain't nothing for me to end up like this There's no comparing me this time All my heroes have now become ghosts Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most All my heroes are dead and gone But they're inside of me They still live on Dark devotion in a beacon Paradise Shows no emotion to a willing sacrifice You can put a man on trial, but you can't make the guilty pay And you can cage an animal, but you can't take away the rage Ain't nothing for me to end up like this There's no comparing me this time All my heroes have now become ghosts Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most All my heroes are dead and gone But they're inside of me They still live on All my heroes have now become ghosts Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most All my heroes are dead and gone But they're inside of me They still live on They're all dead and gone
