Them, the ones who led the war
And with their lives ignored
What rules mean
Them, the ones who gave their light
And faded into night
So cruelly
This is their song - it goes out to them
Those whose memory will live without end
And who flew to the stars in a thorned crown
And these words are what we give to them
Twenty seven - did they know back then
That the tick of the clock was their countdown
To all the warriors! To the destroyers!
They'll always be more than heroes to me!
Hail to the warriors who spoke with wisdom!
Hail the destroyers who broke the system!
Hail to them all for the battles they fought!
To the ones who died young, but live inside our hearts!
This song goes out to all of those who
Win the world, yes, but in the end lose
And whose candles are too brightly burning
And these words are what we give to them
Twenty seven is too soon to end
Are they watching us now as they're laughing?
To all the warriors! To the destroyers!
They'll always be more than heroes to me!
Hail to the warriors who spoke with wisdom!
Hail the destroyers who broke the system!
Hail to them all for the battles they fought!
To the ones who died young, but live inside our hearts!
The ones who led the war
And with their lives ignored
What rules mean
Them, the ones who gave their light
And faded into night
So cruelly
Them, the ones who led the war
And with their lives ignored
What rules mean
Them, the ones who gave their light
And faded into night
So cruelly
This song goes out to all of those who
Change the world, yes, but left it too soon
But still, something was left to remind us
And these words are what we give to them
Twenty seven is too soon to end
But they all still survive - they're inside us
Them, the ones who led the war
And with their lives ignored
What rules mean
Them, who walked the path of love
Then stormed the gates above
They're never dead!
Hail to the warriors who spoke with wisdom!
Hail the destroyers who broke the system!
Hail to them all for the battles they fought!
To the ones who died young, storming heaven in their hearts!
