Hero By Death Lyrics - Anvil

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 

Hero by death 

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 

Greatness of today 

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
