Lyrics - Lament of a vigilante

Under the falling darkness
and with the rising stars
whispers and shadows breeding
born in the dark

Walking down the lonely alleys
with footsteps right behind
A scream breaks the silence
The watchers go blind

The victim starts to panic
and then hope seems to shine
I must surely come to save them
this city is mine

And should the sands run out on them
on me the blame must fall
if not they shrug and say that its
my job that's all

I don't wanna be a hero
I  dont wanna save the world
I'm cold, tired and lonely
wont you please take me home

More than a dark defender
A man of sword and shade
Has someone thought of him adn
has someone cared

The feeling of being locked up
locked up inside a cage
Sometimes it turns to tears and
sometimes to rage

They say your greatest duty
is to your fellow man
the man in me dies each day but
the duty remains

One day the end will come for me
that day they will scream in vain
and so it goes on till someone
chooses to die again

I don't wanna be a hero
I don't wanna save the world
I'm cold, tired and lonely
Won't you please take me home
