Lyrics

Something tells me that it’s time to go.
I hear familiar battle hymns and anthems rumbling on ahead.
Time has a way of getting seams to show.
This decorated uniform weighs so much more than thread.
Try as we might, we all succumb to entropy.
The tightest knots all work out in the end.
Why do you think they say nothing lasts forever?
Don’t come with me if you want to live.

Superheroes and super villains in the air,
Taking aim without a shadow of doubt or a moment to spare.
When the world needs more heroes alive, wipe your tears away.
Where I come from, we never say die.

We never even knew the fires were burning bad.
We were too busy slinging rocks over the wall.
We came at them with everything we thought we had.
We left it on the field and turned around,
Just in time to watch the village fall down.

That night we watched the sun go down in Texas.
Let the indigo and starlight wash our blues away.
Tipped our glasses to the monsters we had fought and slain.
Said a pray for those we’d lost and better days.
Try as we might, we all succumb to entropy.
Ramparts burn down and turn to dust in the end.
United by our frailty. A fate that’s inescapable awaits,
The righteous, the wicked, their family and friends.

Superheroes and super villains in the air,
We’ve all got so many axes to grind and crosses to bear.
When the world needs more heroes alive, wipe your tears away.
Where I come from…

We say “I’ll see you when the sun goes down in Texas.”
I’ll look for you beyond the prairie sky.
Your treasure map had one too many X’s.
You’re the only reason that the stars at night are so damn big and bright.
Try as we might, we all succumb to entropy.
The brightest stars all collapse in the end.
When they say nothing last forever,
What they mean is nothing ever ends.
The best we get’s the mark we leave,
And the life we live.

Superheroes and super villains in the air,
Go on and build your shining cities on hilltops and your pits of despair.
When the world needs its heroes alive, wipe your tears away.
Where I come from…
