Hero’s Gold

We venture
We battle
We strive
For a time and a space of our own
Free possession
Defying oppression
We cry
You live in your dreams and
Your dreams are becoming
Your god
We rage
We fight
Not to fade out of the world
Solitary
Someday we might understand

That as soon as you’re born
You’re expected to catch the rainbow

So you strive for the hero’s gold
There’s a fire in your eyes and your fate is foretold
But in time you’ll wane as your heart grows old
On your quest for eternal fame

We’re prophets
We’re all men
We’re gods
All gods act like they’re products of men
Life’s a concept
And lies will pass into history

And as soon as you’re born
You’re expected to catch the rainbow

So you strive for the hero’s gold
There’s a fire in your eyes and your fate is foretold
But in time you’ll wane as your heart grows old
On your quest for eternal fame
