Jobseekers - Heroic Son Lyrics

You stand with arms outstretched directing orders
You stay in place though they throw their stones
You wear no uniform like all the others
Yet you won't leave until the day is done

Now the sky opens up
But you won't leave until it's done

As the rain
Washes all away
Drags you to your grave
But you stay strong
Though today
Is the lucky day
For all the lives you've saved
Your duty's done
Poor heroic son

Now the water rises but your head is held high
You're on a mission and you will not fail
You've ensured the safety of the general public
But now you yourself are being swept away

Now the sky opens up
But you won't leave until it's done

As the rain
Washes all away
Drags you to your grave
But you stay strong
Though today
Is the lucky day
For all the lives you've saved
Your duty's done
Poor heroic son
