Stats frozen,
game over,
health dropping,
game over,
powers depleted,
game over.

A hero I am,
no longer strong,
my meaning diminished,
like it was all along.

Can't I stay,
in my city and play,
my friends are gone,
game over.

My cape tattered, ripped, broken,
game over,
my mask burned,
game over,
my strength gone,
game over.

I see the countdown,
only thirty seconds left,
game over.

I see a light,
a beacon of hope,
coming my way,
too dark to reach,
my hand stretches,
I grasp the handle,
I hold it high.

Game over? I think not,
My torch of hope,
no hero left to die,
thank you friends,
for that encouraging cry,
you saved me from,
game over.
