Lyrics: Metallica. Hero of The Day.

The window burns to light the way back home

A light that warms no matter where they go

They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tell them how to feel
These things we turn to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking starts the wheels of this play

Don't want your hate, but the fist I make

For you still no fear, no not on me
So please excuse me while I tell them how I feel

But now the dreams end and now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, did you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams end and now the dreams end
They everlast the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Oh they try and break me, oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me, oh they try, oh they try
Oh they try and break me, oh they try and break me
Oh they try and break me, oh they try, oh they try
