Kill the Hero
Rise Against Conformity: Kill the Hero's Anthem
Lyrics
They ask to hear your story
People want to hear your story
And then they steal your voice
However, they take away your ability to express yourself
The villain gets the glory, we all suffer
The villain receives praise, and everyone experiences hardship
Our idle hearts are bleeding up on a pedestal
Our passionate hearts are exposed and suffering on a pedestal
It seems to keep repeating
This cycle of suffering seems to persist
Just another
Repetition of the idea that this is just another instance of the cycle
Right turns to wrong turns to right
Moral ambiguity, where right and wrong interchange
Kill the hero
Advocating for the elimination of the traditional hero
Fuel the venom and the sorrow
Encouraging the spread of negativity and sadness
Now it's time to tear it down to the ground
Time to dismantle the existing order and start anew
Raise the torch and lead us out and save tomorrow
Taking charge to create a better future and preserve it
Nothing's left, so kill the hero
Nothing remains, so it's necessary to eliminate the hero
So now it's dead and buried, it's us who fill the void
The hero is now gone, and the responsibility falls on us
It's just the truth we carry 'til our last breath
Carrying the burden of truth until our last moments
We're the new blood in the same vein
We are the new generation continuing the legacy
There's a new sun in a dying day
Symbolic imagery of a new sun in a declining day
Right turns to wrong turns to right
Reiteration of the moral ambiguity in decision-making
Kill the hero
Reiterating the call to eliminate the hero
Fuel the venom and the sorrow
Encouraging the proliferation of negative emotions
Now it's time to tear it down to the ground
Advocating for the destruction of the existing system
Raise the torch and lead us out and save tomorrow
Taking the lead to create a better future and preserve it
Nothing's left, so kill the hero
Nothing remains, so it's necessary to eliminate the hero
We're only killing the ghost of your ego
Stating that only the remnants of one's ego are being eliminated
Rise with the villains or die with the heroes
Choosing to align with the villains or face the fate of the heroes
We're only killing the ghost of your ego
Reiteration of eliminating the remnants of one's ego
Rise with the villains or die with the heroes
Choice between rising with the villains or perishing with the heroes
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Repeating the idea with vocalizations
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
-Kill the hero
Reiterating the call to eliminate the hero
Fuel the venom and the sorrow
Encouraging the proliferation of negative emotions
Now it's time to tear it down to the ground
Advocating for the destruction of the existing system
Raise the torch and lead us out and save tomorrow
Taking the lead to create a better future and preserve it
Nothing's left, so kill the hero
Nothing remains, so it's necessary to eliminate the hero
Kill the hero
Reiterating the need to eliminate the hero and the absence of anything left
Nothing's left, so kill the hero
