[Verse 1]

When you wake up in the fire

And your harbor lies in ruins

You wonder why the giant's been shot

Fired off down from the sky

You plead for explanation

Is it accident or rule

And where is your childhood hero

To drive all the demons away

[Pre-Chorus]

What if the light shines in darkness, my friend

And darkness just can't comprehend

So blaze the trail on your own

Go it alone

[Chorus]

We are falling - falling 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

[Verse 2]

Indignity is the leader

To escort us to fen

Where they say the light is endemic

If only I could comprehend

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

[Pre-Chorus]

What if the light shines in darkness my friend

And darkness just can't comprehend

So blaze the trail on your own

Go it alone

[Chorus]

We are falling - falling 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

We are falling to rise

We are falling - falling 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

[Outro]

Wo-oh!

Oh, we don't need a hero

Wo-oh!

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