When you wake up in the fire
And your harbor lies [bad word] You wonder why the giant has been shot
Fired off down from sky 

You plead for explanation
Is it accident [bad word] And where is your childhood hero
To drive all the demons away 

What if the light
Shines in darkness my friend
And darkness just [bad word] So blaze the trail on your own
Go it alone 

We are falling – tailing to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling – Falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero 

Indignity is the leader
To escort us to the fen
Where they say the light is endemic
If only I [bad word] 

Now you're old enough to face it
Rabble's stones give pain
Hit you as they watch your tracks
Apart from the way that they understand 

What if the light... 

Oh we don't need a hero
No we don't need a hero
