I dreamt I was a queen in a crimson road
A lion with a crown of dust and gold
Someone shut you down and your blood went cold
Baby can you wake up, baby can you wake up again
So don't let go
We can be so beautiful
Listening to the sound of silence

So let the walls come down
And the colours light up the sky
We could be heroes, we could be heroes, tonight
And when the hearts break loose and our love is like a battle cry
We could be heroes, we could be heroes, tonight

I feel it like a surge running through my veins
Just kiss me and revive this love again
We could be dancing in the eye of a hurricane
They can never break us, they can never break us no more
So don't let go
We can be so beautiful
Listening to the sound of silence

So let the walls come down
And the colours light up the sky
We could be heroes, we could be heroes, tonight
And when the hearts break loose and our love is like a battle cry
We could be heroes, we could be heroes, tonight

Love is like a battle cry
And we'll shine till our colours light up the sky
And we'll dance to the sound of our battle cry
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Tonight, you and I
