No one is coming to save you


No one is coming to save you,
In the moment you need them the most,
It’s just fate and you,
If you dare, derring-do
When your time of the hour draws close,

No one is coming to save you,
Despite what we’ve been told it’s a fact,
When it’s all on the line,
Harrowed hands tick off time,
You can scurry, or cower, or act

Because no one is coming to save you,
Those you trusted await on the hill,
You will face it alone,
On your own, on your own,
So the hero’s boots are yours to fill,

When the ones diving headfirst to danger,
Aren’t the ones that we’ve built to be strong,
Our illusions of trust,
Turn from iron to rust,
And we find we’ve been wrong all along,

Now you know, no one’s coming to save you,
Fire’s spreading with no time to wait,
But it’s better to burn,
Than to linger and learn,
That you’ve answered the call all too late.
