Gone Is The Hero (The Wise Man Said Part 2)...........Autopilot

The world burned by our hatred or so some will say
That the darkening clouds showed the heavens dismay
We followed our kings who could not find the way
And we plunged into darkness, or so some will say

That a hero was born in the pit of the damned
With a mirror of souls that he held in his hand
And he led us from shadows who longed for command
Behind him we rallied and escaped from the damned

And decades would pass in the song of his soul
In his words was a wisdom that made the world whole
But the hero was weakened by the thought of his goal
And a fear was arising in the song of his soul

Jealousy was rising from the madness of man
That a hero could turn all their temples to sand
He claimed he could lead them to the promised land
But they refused to listen, in the madness of man

And so awoke shadows not banished from light
And our hero was slain on the darkest of nights
Now many years later we remember his plight
But gone is the hero, gone into the light

And now all descends into hatred again
The world on the brink of salvations end
Darkness now lurking just around the bend
And gone is the hero, will he rise again?
