Judas Priest - Heroes End lyrics

I heard a human voice who
Sang like no one else
I heard a proud lady singing loud
Lived her life as she liked
Didn't give a damn but soon she found she
Was underground and wasted
I watched her hitting notes
As she strutted stage
Her body shook oh, she did her stuff
She screamed and quake, give and take
Maybe took too much
If you take the smooth you
Got to take the rough

Why do you have to die to be a hero?
It's a shame a legend begins at it's end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many
Things to say unsaid?

I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd
I felt the sound shower around
And he would take you with him
Where no music's been before
As you merged the power surge together
His music knew no limit's if
You were in it's wake
You had no choice, no, but hear it's voice
And you would listen hypnotized
And in a dream
But once so strong survive or become weak

Why do you have to die to be a hero?
It's a shame a legend begins at it's end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many
Things to say unsaid?

If you gaze across timeless years
You'll find them always there
And many gods will join the
List compiled with dying care
Hungry mouths are waiting to bite
The hand that feeds and so the living dead
Carry on immortal deeds

I saw on silver screen an
Actor's rise to fame but fast car users lose
That legend's born from death and
That is such a shame
Because every year new ones appear

Why do you have to die to be a hero?
It's a shame a legend begins at it's end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many
Things to say unsaid?
