A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can’t look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
It’s like a time, without a place
A pointless thing
Devoid of grace
Where you don’t know what your after
Or if something’s after you
And you don’t know why you don’t know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
A world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don’t know what you’re after
Or if something’s after you
And you don’t know why you don’t know
In a world without heroes
Recorded and performed by KISS on the album “Music from ‘The Elder'” [1981]
