A hero really is just a stranger hidden in a mask to keep them guessing
They swoop in at the last second save the day and vanish...
Cape flying in the wind like forgotten banners they can never stay long after the villain has retreated
Vanquished for another day they can never get too close hold too tight
They fly on burning wings every stroke cutting away at the time they have to save those that can't hold them feathers burning falling counting seconds in ashes
The battles The victories The villains
It is only with the crucial villains final defeat they see their error but it is too late
So as always they must depart now seeing the truth the villain always knows
Without them heroes are just strangers in capes that everyone forgets
