Lyrics Flotsam and Jetsam

Flotsam and Jetsam

Childhood Hero

When I couldn't sleep

When I saw shadows moving

When I had to cry

I was afraid of the unknown

When I wasn't sure of where my next footstep would fall

He was always there

When I did some things out of my mind

When I let my life stray out of line

When I put myself in danger

When I just didn't care

He was my knight in shining gear

He was my strength to face the fear

My booming voice of reason

Now my childhood hero down

I don't even know who's there anymore

He came walking right on in through my door

Through my door

All I remember is a demons attack

I had to protect myself from coming back

Coming back

Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat

Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke

Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life

Didn't know what I had done til I turned on the light

Childhood hero down

Oh my God what have I done

Childhood hero down

It's just a dream that's in my head

Not just your father figure lifeless on the floor

He never should have just come walking through my door

I have to battle all the demons in my sleep

This is the company I keep that I keep

Felt the pain of evil wrapping hands around my throat

Couldn't run away cause both my legs had been broke

Grab a gun and shoot into the dark to save my life

Didn't know what I had done til I turned on the light

Childhood hero down

Oh my God what have I done

Childhood hero down

It's just a dream that's in my head

Childhood hero down

Memories and brains upon the wall

Childhood hero down

It's just a dream that's in my head

Why are all my loved ones dead

Childhood hero down

Oh my God what have I done

A shot in the dark has killed the one I love

Childhood hero down

Daddy what were you doing in my room

When I was dreaming death and doom

Childhood hero down

Memories and brains upon the wall

Watching my childhood evil fall

Childhood hero down

It's just a dream that's in my head

Why are all my loved ones dead-dead
