[English]

I'm walking alone, the streets are empty

The only thing I can see is my own silhouette

I'm getting stronger, step by step

The clock is ticking but there is no time for regrets

I've been flying from town to town

From London to Taiwan

I've been all around the globe

Trying to protect your soul

We are heroes tonight

We would fly above the sky

We are heroes tonight, yeah

We are heroes tonight

We would fly above the sky

We are heroes tonight, yeah

...

Night yeah

Feeling like a dynamite

Ready to explode right up in the sky

I need you to listen, I need you to hear

And don't show any fear

I've been flying from town to town

From London to Taiwan

I've been all around the globe

Trying to protect your soul

We are heroes tonight

We would fly above the sky

We are heroes tonight, yeah

We are heroes tonight

We would fly above the sky

We are heroes tonight, yeah

...

We are heroes tonight, yeah

...

Night yeah

We are heroes tonight

We would fly above the sky

We are heroes tonight, yeah

I've been flying from town to town

From London to Taiwan

I've been all around the globe

Trying to protect your soul

...
