Gods Die Too

A film about heroes. Text of film:

Gods … Gods die too
I've seen it happen
Searched for a spirit on a once-familiar trail
Lamented the ashes of one very dear

Some, like Beowulf, after a long and glorious life
Of deception, manipulation, and the enslavement of others

Some, like Achilles, at the beginning of such a life

But others live loudly with love and compassion
Or quietly so
And those are the only passings I mourn

Gods … Gods die too

They must have done it for the money … money

No, I understand – I just never thought of it that way … that way

Searched for a spirit … lamented the ashes
Some like Beowulf … some like Achilles

But others live loudly with love and compassion … others … others
Or quietly so
Those are the only passings I mourn

They must have done it … quietly so … quietly … quietly so
