The Heroes I Seek

How could you run off frightened When they all needed you? To leave them ‘neath the spell, abandon all you once knew And after all that’s happened Just you alone are free But what more can I do, but turn my tail and flee I’ve lived a simple life I’m no one great or mighty What more could I have done Who would the hero rightly be? The hero I seek (hero I seek) Protect the humble and weak If only I could find one A warrior or mage, Or even search for him, the greatest wizard of this age But who would wish to come To save our lowly town When monsters hide in every shadow that is found But how would they all hide If light could shine for all to see? Why find a single knight When we could have an army be The heroes I seek (heroes I seek) To fight what evil may wreak If they’d only hear my plea Far beyond the Sirens Just imagine what could be We would stand the vanguard against anything Every battle could be won When they’d need us we would be United, as guardians to save everyone History is full of evils left astray Like a plague upon the world Darkness we could finally seal away We could forge something great Protect all those who are in need Each foe would know their fate As righteous Pillars they could be The heroes I seek (heroes I seek) To stand when all else looks bleak (all else looks bleak) To save the vanquished and meek (vanquished and meek) The heroes I seek
