Analysis of I Am No Hero
Blade Wood 2005 (Washington)
I am no hero
I am the plague that haunted Europe
Beware the sight of my black tailcoat
Whipping away into the night
I am the apocalypse
That you have come to fear
So remember when you see me
To never come near.
I am no hero
I will bring you to tears
As you watch your loved ones fall to me…
The ones you so held dear
The darkness I bring with me is unparalleled
The despair that fills my lungs
I gift to others
So I can finally have some fun.
The chaos that the world brings
I feel obligated to apologize, for it was caused by me
I bask in the pain
In which you scream.
I am no savior
Bringing with me the reassuring light of the sun
I'm the one that plunges you into darkness…
The one that laughs as you run.
