Hero by Death

When you think of all the great people that have died

The things they did, the way they lived their lives

Many have gone without knowing their fame

We are the ones that are left to blame

Examples of man's stupidity

Endless lessons in humility

Why do we wait till they're gone and dead?

We martyr their soul as the good book says

Hero by death

We shouldn't wait until tomorrow

Hail the greatness of today

We shouldn't wait for times of sorrow

Belated praise

Greatness of today

I never wait until tomorrow

I love the greatness of today

I never wait for times of sorrow

Listen what I say

When you think of all the great people that have died

The things they did, the way they lived their lives

Courage, honour and dignity

Leaving a mark in society
