Lyrics and translation
Original
When heroes go down, they go down fast.
So don't expect any time to equivocate the past.
When heroes go down, they land in flame.
So don't expect any slow and careful settling of claims.
I heard you say you look out for the feet of clay, that someone will be falling next.
Without the chance for last respects, you feel the disappointment.
When heroes go down, man or woman revealed.
You can't expect any kind of mercy on the battlefield.
I heard you say you look out for the feet of clay, that someone will be falling next. Without the chance for last respects, you feel the disappointment.
When heroes go down, man or woman revealed.
Do you show any kind of mercy on the battlefield?
When heroes go down.
When heroes go down.
When heroes go down.
