Let's tear the pages
Of a tale long left behind
Can I take your hand
And throw away my destiny
Born to serve a purpose
Born to die a hero
But with my last breath I’ll speak only--
Through silence
We shout into the endless dark
Won't anybody answer us
Through heartbreak
Will these chains sever us
Please let me break away
Oh, who would choose
A destiny of strife
With battered flesh, and blood, and heart, and soul
I dedicate to the world
Oh tell me,
Who would choose
To call themselves a hero
Go on and take all that I have
But when you go, just listen
To my one wish
Let's tear the pages
Of a tale long left behind
If I could only turn away and
Claim happily ever after for myself
To be with you
Could I let the world burn?
The choice was never mine
For this is who I am
Born to serve a purpose
Born to die a hero
But with my last breath I’ll sing to you of my love
Through darkness
I'll carve a path made for two
But I don't know if there's light ahead
Through endless
Roads we still struggle on
But will you be waiting?
An unwavering heart filled with justice
An invincible savior and champion
That's why I looked up to the heroes shining on my screen
But when I think of all that I have to lose
My hands, they quiver with hesitance
So I understand now this ideal is one I’ll never reach
Even so
I will be a hero
I raise my sword and stand against the endless dark
Born to serve a purpose
Born to die a hero
In this very moment
I will live...
As I burn away
I'll be your guiding light
"But was all of this worth it?"
Such a question never really mattered
If I must bow to the whims of destiny
Then at the very least I’ll do it my own way
And nothing can take that away from me
Born to serve a purpose
Born to die a hero
After my last breath I’ll take control of my fate
