Heroes (Requiem)

All The headlines read "Superman is dead"
His body was beaten and bruised
We all watched it live on the news
The video hit a billion views
The streets were empty while the children cried
When they carried the bodies away
No one had a word left to say
So I knelt down and I began to pray

That's the day that Superman
That's the day that Superman died

I've searched the world for someone whose heart is true
When our heroes are all dead and gone what will we do?
Our heroes return from the ashes of what we burn
Oh! Whoa-oh! Superman where'd you go?
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
Oh! Whoa-oh! Superman where'd you go?

There were thousands of people who gathered 'round
When they lowered him in the ground
Gentle rain was the only sound
Rustling through the trees that day
From time to time when I'm all alone
I think of his stony grave
And all the souls he managed save
He stood tall. He stood alone. But He was brave

That's the day that Superman
That's the day that Superman died

I've searched the world for someone whose heart is true
When our heroes are all dead and gone what will we do?
Our heroes return from the ashes of what we burn
Guess I'll watch the skies for Superman
Do you remember that Superman fly?

First they cut your silver tongue
Your voice was bought and sold
Then they stole your children
And left us in the cold
Screaming
Oh! Whoa-oh! Superman where'd you go?
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
Oh! Whoa-oh! Superman where'd you go?

I've searched the world for someone whose heart is true
When our heroes are all dead and gone what will we do?
Our heroes return from the ashes of what we burn
I've searched the world for someone whose heart is true
When our heroes are all dead and gone what will we do?
Our heroes return from the ashes of what we burn
Guess I'll watch the skies for Superman
Do you remember that Superman fly?
