Saints and Sinners
What happens when the diehards, die hard
From broken hearts, smashed dreams, and thoughts of what was supposed to be
Letting go of things unseen
Wishing to return to their own reality
Far from here and left behind
By heroes who think with themselves in mind
Suddenly forgetting those that brought them fame
Leaving them to fend for themselves tired and maimed
Forgetting the definition of what a hero is supposed to be
Taking the form of their human alter egos permanently
No longer wishing to be a savior of crowds
Finding peace, cloaking themselves in normalcy like a shroud
No one can blame them for returning to their roots
Retreating to their homestead with all of their loot
Leaving us with nothing but memories and feelings of despair
At being abandoned by the people we though would always be there
But there’s always hope that someday they’ll return
In all their former glory, to save us and learn
To not call it a comeback, but rather the second coming of Christ
To look out from their perch and see that the world is ripe…
We need a hero, come back to us tonight.
