Lyrics:

“And the Hero Will Drown” is the first track from Story of the Year’s debut album Page Avenue. It was featured on the soundtrack for the video game Need for Speed: Underground.
The night will come
And rip away
Her wings of innocence through every word we say
Maybe it's time
To spit out the core of our rotting union
Hopefully before it chokes
Us to our senses

Guess it's too bad
That everything we have
Is taken away

Swim in the smoke
The hero will drown
Intoxicating beauty tears everything down
But still our hands
Are bound at the wrists
This romantic tragedy is suffocating from your fist
In a sea of fire

Guess it's too bad
That everything we have
Is taken away
Guess it's too bad
That everything we have
Is taken away

Hero, hero, this word you'll never know
Hero, hero, this word you'll never know
You'll never know

Guess it's too bad
That everything we have
Is taken away
Guess it's too bad
That everything we have
Is taken away
Guess it's too bad
That everything we have
Is taken away
Guess it's too bad
That everything we have
Is taken away

Away, away, away
They're taking it away, away, away
I'm taking it away
