240229: Heroes Bleed

from Leap Songs, Part 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Angels fly devils fall
The choir sings through it all
Sinners sin saints believe
Preachers preach but heroes bleed

Fighters fight runners run
Like a bullet from a gun
The lawyers lie the leaders lead
Statues shine but heroes bleed

King and country tired and hungry
Freedom don't come cheap
Blood and money milk and honey
Win or lose we play for keeps
About the only guarantee
Heroes bleed

Givers give takers take
Keep on bending 'til we break
Lovers love leavers leave
Saviors save but heroes bleed
