a dark tear falls in a place unknown
a dark tear falls for a hero long gone
and in his place he lies in grace
a dark tear falls on a women face
crying for her loved one crying for his soul
crying for her loved one a hero long gone

she will tell his story of love and glory
how he fought against the forces of night
she will tell his deeds of swords and shields
of how he died protecting the light

the hero is long gone
yes the hero is long gone
the hero is long gone
but his story forever known

a dark tear falls in a place unknown
a dark tear falls for a hero long gone
and in his place he lies in grace
a dark tear falls on a young girls face
crying for her father whipping for his soul
crying for her father a hero long gone

she will hear his story of love and glory
how he fight against the forces of night
she will hear about his deeds of swords and shields
of how he died protecting the light

      the hero is long gone
yes the hero is long gone
the hero is long gone
but his story forever known

a dark tear falls in a dark place
a dark tear falls on a heros face
