lyrics

the passion play has come and gone
the caravans have all moved on
but i’m still standing where they made the river sweet

martin luther’s got his proof
mona lisa’s in the louvre
but i’m still standing like a falcon on the queen’s green sleeve

heroes of eros before you retreat
tend to the swan that was dragged through the streets
sing out your song ‘la belle dame sans merci’
heroes of eros

we never got to say goodbye
before the ironsides arrived
and now we ride beside the duke of aquitaine

esmeralda’s lost her goat
and quasimodo’s on the ropes
they know the future of the passion is at stake
and it’s now in flames

heroes of eros before you exchange
what if the pain in your heart does remain?
through every brave metaphysical change
heroes of eros

you never had to hunt for boar
never faced the god of thor
you’ve too much time upon your paws and on your plates

now willy wonkas’s getting whipped
and cassonova’s getting clipped
and martin luther’s getting licked on drury lane
despite the plague

heroes of eros before you embrace
know that the glove can’t be pierced or replaced
know that your love may appear tailor made
heroes of eros
