Heroes falling to the ground
Like Hell’s magnet
Pulls me down
On my knees
I try to please his eyes
His idol eyes

Jerking motions won’t revive him
Mouth to mouth resusitation
I just lay down beside him
And idolize

Motor, motor
Broken hearted
Rusted, rotted
Falling apart
A lock of hair
A belt he wore
It’s not enough
I WANT MORE

God give me his soul
God give me his soul

Heroes falling to the ground
Like Hell’s magnet
Pulls me down
On my knees
I try to please his eyes
His idol eyes

Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music."
