   Bm   CHeard he was formed from the lights that are Northern
        Bm  CThe Rock of Gibraltar, he once got an offer
         Bm  CFrom Lucifer's daughter to bow to the gods
         Em              G               DSo he'd keep his verses sharper than a knife sometimes
       Bm  CHeard he was warned that a hero gets torn
         Bm  CBetween fame and adornment and loses his sword, so
     Bm  CHe shot the fame down, uh
           Em         G             DBut he keep a mask on him if the sign's in the sky
 Bm  CHeard he was happy so no one could gas him
           Bm  COr force him to dance like a monkey for assets
  Bm  CHe loves his life
         Em           G            DBut he keep a pen sharp enough to write one time
