Lyrics All of Our Heroes Are Dying... - The Cocker Spaniels

All of our heroes are dying
But I'm still alive, and so are you
And there isn't much that our heroes
Have done with their lives that we can't do
So when the Grim Reaper calls each troubadour home
Let us mourn and play their songs
Then make some of our own

A song doesn't die when a singer does
As long as the rest of us keep singing
It may be the only real afterlife
A bell that eternally keeps ringing

All of our loved ones are dying
But I'm still alive, and so are you
And there isn't much that our loved ones
Have done with their lives that we can't do
So when the Grim Reaper calls our family home
Let us share their memories
Then make some of our own

Because love doesn't die when our loved ones do
Our hearts won't allow us to forget them
It may be the only real afterlife
Their spirits advise us if we let them

All of our soldiers are dying
But I'm still alive, and so are you
And there isn't much that our soldiers
Have done with their lives that we can't do
So when the Grim Reaper calls each activist home
Let us mourn and count their battles
Then win some of our own

Our children are looking for heroes now
So now is the time for us to be them
It may be the only real afterlife
What we put in their hearts will never leave them
