[Intro]
Echoes of the sirens fade away
Unseen heroes working through the day
[Verse 1]
They roll up in the quiet, under city lights
Paid to stand and wait, but nothing's in their sights
Tales of truth, or tales of lies?
Who’s really honest beneath the disguise?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it duty, is it pain?
Or just the price they claim?
[Chorus]
Oh, what’s the worth of a helping hand?
When the truth gets lost in a shifting sand
Paid to stand, paid to pretend
Are they heroes or just pretend?
[Verse 2]
Flickering figures in the sterile glow
Talking in circles, steady and slow
What’s the meaning in the waste?
Are they the saviors, or just their own haste?
[Pre-Chorus]
Laugh or cry, it’s hard to tell
What’s behind that professional shell?
[Chorus]
Oh, what’s the worth of a helping hand?
When the truth gets lost in a shifting sand
Paid to stand, paid to pretend
Are they heroes or just pretend?
[Bridge]
Silent watches, restless minds
Questions rise, truths confined
Is it service, or just a show?
In the high stakes, who really knows?
[Outro]
So here's the story, cold as steel
What’s the real deal behind the deal?
Heroes or just a name?
In the game, we’re all the same.
