A Hero’s Death

My rusted sword smiled at me
Laughing strange and blaming me
My cold armour falls to sleep
Our old promise I couldn't keep
I toss my helm behind the door
Left unprotected, my soul and core
I can't be that kind of fool
A path of exile is looking good

Should they know where their mind is?
Should they know what's happened here?
This upset world ain't not for me
There's no way out, it's asphyxiating me
And this life cannot remain
To simply vanish would be great
But this, ain't no, a hero's death

Tea in the morning, sorrows at night
How could I know this was alright?
My strength now fades with every step
I am no longer the one to blame
Poison daggers, infected stakes
My mind threatens more my health
The afterlife may be a chosen way
But why would I choose to live forever?

I'm not dead yet, but the lords know I will

Should I know I'm just a fool?
Should they know I'm not so good?
This upset world ain't not for me
There's no way out, it's asphyxiating me
And this life cannot remain
To simply vanish would be great
But this, ain't no, a hero's death

Don't look for me, scavenger
Nothing to save, nothing to avenge
I'm not the one to toss the coin
I'm just the soul who's been long bored
Just a loser, a being to blame
No, this time, forget the hero's death
Put me to exile, to die within

I'm not dead yet, but the lords know I will

Should they know where their mind is?
Should they know what's happened here?
This upset world ain't not for me
There's no way out, it's asphyxiating me
And this life cannot remain
To simply vanish would be great
But this, ain't no, a hero's death
Should I know I'm just a fool?
Should they know I'm not so good?
This upset world ain't not for me
There's no way out, it's asphyxiating me
And this life cannot remain
To simply vanish would be great
But this, ain't no, a hero's death
Baby, no
This is not a hero's death
