When Heroes Die
Chris Taylor Frimoth
©2016

When heroes die
On and on we cry
Though we never met
I still hold regret
When heroes die

When legends pass
No longer in our grasp
It doesn’t seem so real
My heart has lost its zeal
When legends pass

I don’t look towards the day
When I’ll send you on your way
To that other sphere

I’ve already said goodbye
To family, friends and allies
When heroes die

Now I can be strong
Even in a song
Beneath my crimson smile
I still live in denial
When my heroes gone

I choke on my own grief
Of loss and disbelief
A diamond disappears
As I hold the souvenirs
Of a hero no longer here

I know that time does pass
We were blessed while it last
But now it’s changed

I don’t blame anyone
I knew the time would come…

When heroes die
On and on we cry
Though we never met
I still hold regret
When heroes die
