Maybe it wasn't such a sad story after all
Maybe the fall
Wasn't as bad as we all thought

And lately, I've noticed a glorious end
Who could pretend
To deny such a thing?

And though they may forget...
I will not forget

No, I recall the story line
Stunning, glorified
Who tells it when I'm

Chorus:
Gone and forgotten
Walking my downtrodden paradise
Won't that be nice?

Live by the fortune of their sins
What did they win?
What did they lose?

Heroes are a fable in this age
We've turned the page
We're on to bigger things...

And though they may forget
I will not forget

No, I recall the story line
Stunning, glorified
Who tells it when I'm

Chorus

Bullets beat the buildings down
beneath a bloody battle cry
the crooks are swindling the clueless
We're all clueless half the time
And I suppose that I don't know
And I'm not welcome anymore....
Anymore...

But I recall the story
A stunning tale of former glory but who
Tells it when I'm
Gone and forgotten
Walking my downtrodden paradise?

Oh, I recall the story line
Stunning, glorified
Who tells it when I'm

Chorus

I recall the story line
Stunning, glorified
Who tells it when I'm

Chorus
