[Verse 1]
The scars they will heal
The time it can't steal
The lust from your eyes
And danger but real
The song in your voice
The history in mine
It anchors my belief
Haunts me at night
They judge the brown skin
Like birth was my sin
A culture on the wire
Divided within
The spirit knows why
But the body knows how
Dividing our world
By who we are now
[Chorus 1]
Are you the heroine?
Ancient undercover in a simple life
Just burning in the darkness
[Verse 2]
Bombed out in thе blitz
The underground scenе
Drinking from the source
Reeling from belief
The empire moans
The worlds become one
The dreams of the father realized in the son
And under my clothes
I'm naked again
Just ruthless on the lam
Like I was back then
The spirit knows why
But the body knows how
Defining our world by who we are now
[Chorus 2]
Are you the heroine?
Ancient undercover in a simple life
Just burning in the darkness
You're the one true hero
Dancing in the beauty of another fire, 'nother fire, another fire
And, no, you never knew
How human life could change you into something else
Just hungry for the kill
You're the one true hero
Dancing in the beauty of another fire, 'nother fire, another fire
[Outro]
The more that I love you
The more that I understand my shame
Can you find your grip
Tonight in this dark and empty street?
A body with no rules
Can you see the world behind my eyes
As I run, run
Run home beside you?
