[Intro]

Cigarettes beyond black shades

See him, yet you'll never see his face

[Verse 1]

We used to joke about foggy mornings

When no one's around, I start talking

Guess you wanted it to be this way

And I can't say I didn't see it coming

[Pre-Chorus]

If anyone ever died with a drink in his hand

I know you did

If anyone ever lied with a smile on his face

I guess you did

[Verse 2]

You always had the end to my means

I'd drive when you had too much drugs

I guess life doesn't mean that much

When you already know it all

[Pre-Chorus]

If anyone ever lied with a smile on his face

I know you did

If anyone ever lied with a drink in his hand

I know you did

[Chorus]

But there was alcohol on your last breath

Well, I don't need you anymore

If your life meant nothing to you

Your death means nothing to me

[Post-Chorus]

Dead hero, sleep

You were, but now you're not

[Verse 3]

There's something romantic

About the man who went down with his ship

And I can tell all my friends

About the hero who died at sea

Everybody humors, everybody laughs

When I tell about the things that you've done

There's nothing romantic

About the empty shoreline where I wait

[Pre-Chorus]

If anyone ever lied with a smile on his face

I know you did

If anyone ever died with a drink in his hand

I know you did

[Chorus]

But there was poison in your frozen blood

Well, I don't need you anymore

If your life meant nothing to you

Your death means nothing to me

[Post-Chorus]

Dead hero, sleep

You were, but now you're not

[Bridge]

And I go to the shore and wait

I see the power of nature

I understand the nature of power

But I do not accept this loss of you

[Outro]

Dead hero, sleep

You live
