My One and Only Hero is Dead

My One and Only Hero is Dead

Today will forever be remembered.
For what, most do not recall.
They simply know to stand straight and tall.
With respect, heads bowed, eyes closed, for the fallen.

My hero died yesterday.
My hero is buried today.
My hero will never again save.
A forced retirement, so naive.

Never again shall I look to the skies.
The horizon is out of reach.
Beneath me, my feet sink.
The air, it's filled with sin, can't breathe.

If my hero were only here.
He could show us all the way.
He could make it all so clear.

But he can't,
Because he's dead.

My one and only hero is dead.
