about

“Hero’s Trial,” tells the tale of a cafe where hot beverages and heartbreak are served up in equal measure.

lyrics

Coffee
Cigarettes
Sadness
And regret
Served up with a smile
I have to leave here for awhile

Stranger
When we meet
Bitter
With the sweet
Passion and denial
I have to leave here for awhile

I have met too many
Angels in this place
Hovering above me
Always out of reach

It hits me
Where I live
Til I've got nothing
Left to give
One more hero's trial
I have to leave here for awhile

I have faced too many
Demons in this place
All with angel faces
Always out of reach

So, goodbye
Fare thee well
It's been heaven
It's been hell
Keep my card on file
I have to leave here for awhile

Goodbye
Fare thee well
Love you
Can't you tell?
Keep my heart on file
I have to leave here for awhile...
