And the boat is going under
that dark current,
and you know once you are under,
you'll never come back.
In the dark,
you will stay,
and nobody will care
about saving you.
You'll be alone
with only yourself to blame
for winding up
at the end of the world.
But that's why we need heroes.
We need those
that are willing to risk
their lives
to change the world,
to save us.
This world is going down
back into a dark age
where no one will care
and only the strong survive.
We don't need an army.
We don't need a revolution.
We just need those
who are willing to stand up
and force the world
to look back
on itself
and just stop.
We need the world to turn around
and realize how cold most are.
We are humane,
and this is our world going under.
So for each hero
that puts their lives on the line
to change the world,
to save us,
we must follow in their steps
and continue to stand,
to fight in our own way
to lift the world up
and keep us strong.
If heroes could fly,
they would be angels with wings,
and if we could see
how far they can go,
we could
see beyond
the edge of the world.
