Lyrics
The kids in the hundreds tomorrow
The young people, in large numbers, will face the future.
Will march through the door
They will enter confidently.
They're fighting someone else's war
They are engaging in a conflict not of their own making.
They'll have so many stories to tell
They will accumulate numerous experiences to share.
In exchange for a hero's farewell
They will receive admiration in return for a farewell befitting heroes.
I wish I could
Expressing a desire or regret.
I wish I could make you return
Expressing a wish to bring someone back.
And what if i'll never discern
Contemplating the possibility of never understanding.
As you walk to the toll of the bell
Describing a journey with the sound of a bell tolling.
You'll be fighting for our heaven with hell
Fighting for a positive outcome against overwhelming odds.
And you don't understand
Expressing a lack of comprehension.
Why no one else can see
Wondering why others are unable to perceive something.
Your blood on me
Referencing a personal connection through spilled blood.
And my blood on you
Mutual exchange of personal experiences and struggles.
But to make you bleed
Expressing a willingness to endure pain for the other person.
The only thing I wouldn't do
Stating a limit to what one is willing to do.
And you know heroes aren't meant to survive
Heroes are not destined to survive.
So much harder to love when alive
It's challenging to love someone who is alive and facing difficulties.
Walk with the devil in your head
Walking through life with inner demons or challenges.
You would think you were better off dead
Suggesting that facing challenges might seem worse than death.
Where can you go?
Raising a question about available options.
We fight we earn
Describing a continuous cycle of fighting and gaining.
We never learn
Acknowledging a failure to learn from past experiences.
And through it all
Throughout everything.
The hero falls
The hero experiences a downfall.
I wish there was a way
Expressing a desire for a solution.
To give you a hand to hold
Offering support or assistance.
You don't have to die in your glory
Emphasizing that achieving greatness doesn't require sacrificing one's life.
To never grow old
Rejecting the idea of remaining forever young at the cost of dying gloriously.
