Curtain Call (from "Paradise City" soundtrack)

(album: Cruel Games - 2021)

In town for one night only
Lust, fame and a feeling of the holy
A new king is crowned for your delight, yeah all right
Single file it's just that easy
A mere man to adore and believe me
Soon you'll be screaming with delight

Take it back before I fall
Because I am no hero
Take it back before I fall
Because I am no hero

Behind the curtain there stands a statue
Designed to sell as many as we want to
The consequences aren't worth your time, we're divine
A fresh idol for a suffering nation
A clean lamb for your slaughtering elation
Another victim of our need to be weak

So take it back, take it back before I fall
I am no, I am no hero, hero
So take it back, take it back before I fall
I am no, I am no hero, hero

The lights are on
The stage is set for failure
In your minds
I will burn in effigy
Burn, burn, burn
Forever, forever, forever

So take it back, take it back before I fall
I am no, I am no hero, hero
So take it back, take it back before I fall
I am no, I am no hero, hero
