Myths and Heroes

Oh Romulus and Remus

Were you really so uncool?

You suckled from the she wolf

Did you think you had her fooled?

The seven hills triumphant

It was never going to last

As the laurel started fading

To a glory of the past

Myths and heroes

Look up to the sky at night

And tell me what you see

Lovers fly across the dark

Fulfill their destiny

And others more enduring

Just look out into the void

They see our empires come and go

All hope and fear destroyed

Look out on the fields now

Walk out to the plain

Look up for a shooting star

It'll never come again

Walking, talking, dying, loving

Making up your mind

Can these fragments be connected?

Then what might we find?

What might we find?

Oh is it really possible

A footprint on the moon?

A million dollar mandolin

That played a bluegrass tune?

A wall that so divided us

Brought down by people's will

A yearly hope for peace on earth

We're waiting for it still
