Your Heroes Are Dead Lyrics
There's something coming and it's coming for you
The world is restless looking for something new
You lead us here with an eternal promise
The cattle's calling for you to pay for this
Now that we're left here on our own
There's nowhere left to turn
He will see us through
Your heroes are dead, they're all in your head
When nothing is left we'll start again
What fitting ends to our fearless fathers
The cost of treason isn't paid in dollars
With nothing left there's nothing to loose
We'll watch the city gates falling all around
You said I'd never make it
That I could only fail
But I'm the one who's standing
And what has happened to you?
Now that we're left here on our own
There's nowhere left to turn
He will see us through
Now that we say goodbye to you
We've started something new
Your heroes are dead, they're all in your head
When nothing is left we'll start again
Your heroes are gone, they left with the dawn
Now it's just us, we'll carry on
The world is restless looking for something new
You lead us here with an eternal promise
The cattle's calling for you to pay for this
There's nowhere left to turn
He will see us through
Your heroes are dead, they're all in your head
When nothing is left we'll start again
The cost of treason isn't paid in dollars
With nothing left there's nothing to loose
We'll watch the city gates falling all around
That I could only fail
But I'm the one who's standing
And what has happened to you?
There's nowhere left to turn
He will see us through
Now that we say goodbye to you
We've started something new
When nothing is left we'll start again
Your heroes are gone, they left with the dawn
Now it's just us, we'll carry on

Project 86. Amazing.
This song is awesome..like most Project 86 songs!! People must know that their heroes are dead!! Viva Jesus Christ!
Jesus is the only hero who will never die....that's awesome!!!!! i need to get this cd.
heres wht i say............its about a person who joined a false religon and then the religon dissapated and they were left w/ a state of not knowing wht to belief sayign who is going to help me thought this....liek b4 finding christ.........
and btw its the mob is restless looking for something new......not the world
and its the gallows are calling for you to pay for this
One of my personal favorites by P86. This song is satire all the way around, and is a very hard one to completely get a grasp on, but I shall try.
The first verse is about how people will turn against their heroes at the drop of a hat. One mistake and the lynch mob shows up ready to hang the once worshipped leader. Perhaps even a church congregation?
The second verse, I believe, is a big time play on "fearless fathers" and "dollars", meaning the men whose faces are on our money all died and now most of what they fought for is mocked by the very money on which their faces are printed.
Overall, the song is about how people are only satisfied with a "hero" when things are going well, and they will change their mind at the drop of a hat, including those who follow God. Our hero may have died, but he rose again!
read my comment in Little Green Men to catch up
Stan returns to his hometown after being gone for several months(years?) and finds his family in total ruin. All the people(the "heroes") that his family follow'd have let them down, while his hero(God) is still going strong with him. This part is him confronting his parents/peers. "You said I'd never make it That I could only fail But I'm the one who's standing And what has happened to you?
Now that we're left here on our own There's nowhere left to turn He will see us through Now that we say goodbye to you We've started something new
Your heroes are dead, they're all in your head When nothing is left we'll start again Your heroes are gone, they left with the dawn Now it's just us, we'll carry on "
Also its "Gallows are calling" not "Cattle's calling"
