1.	The Sorrow of the Hero (feat. Dan Janis) 08:36	lyrics	buy track
What do you say to the boy Who holds the weight of the world on his shoulders What can you give, or take away Didn't ask for his city's burden Mary Jane Tell me I can stay inside for a while Aunt May Tell me I can find my way out of the fire What would he say A hero doesn't back down from the flame I promised on his grave With great power comes great responsibility Public menace! They outcry Every camera flash screams tomorrow's front page villainy Hide your identity Keep the young face under mask, under lock and key Mary Jane Tell me I won't splinter like cheap wood They need me, they say Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good What would he say A hero doesn't back down from the flame I promised on his grave With great power comes great responsibility Let me be a child for the night The truth is I am scared all the time Beneath the snark there is regret, sometimes I fight just to forget Goodbye Harry, goodbye Gwen - I'm sorry for all I've done Penance repaid, and in the end my day will come. What would he say I will never back down from the flame I promised on his grave With great power comes great responsibility
