Up on a pedestal they stand,
Far above it all,
Then one day with a crash,
Our heroes they fall.
How could it happen?
Such a great man was he.
No way he could have done it!
Please find him ‘not guilty’!
But alas, it is so,
Guilty as charged,
Even if the justice system
Let him stay at large.
Our God has fallen!
Committed a crime!
Now he’s just like us,
A humankind!
But he seemed so incapable
Of such a heinous act.
It’s just not like him,
He could never attack.
Our heroes are human
Like you and like me.
They are also innocent
Until proven guilty.
But a crime was committed
And soon we will see.
Was our guy a real hero
Or just a forgery?
