in the distance cities burn

this is where all the heroes come to fail
you leave so many dead upon the track
while the whole story simply fades to black

we wonder why nobody's left to wail
all of the gold has gone into the sack
this is where all the heroes come to fail

you do not have the energy to rail
just bend and wait while others fill the pack
trudge on and never think once to turn back
this is where all the heroes come to fail
