Bait pembukanya mengungkapkan perasaan seorang individu yang takut tetapi teguh, mengakui kesalahan mereka tetapi masih merasakan beban rasa bersalah.

Heroine (Feat. The Edge) Lyrics
Sinead O'connor
Afraid, but he will not run
Alone, thy will be done
Confessed, but you still
Feel the shame
Bring me into
Your arms again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Touch these eyes
With a broken smile
Touch my mouth
With your furrowed brow
Lift my heart
Feel my shame
Lead me into
Rest again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
The night is long
But the day will come
With promises
For the chosen one
Sowed the seed
Sweet taste therein
Call tonight into
My arms again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
The night is long
But the day will come
With promises
For the chosen one
Sowed the seed
Sweet taste therein
Follow dead of night into
Light of day
Alone, thy will be done
Confessed, but you still
Feel the shame
Bring me into
Your arms again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Touch these eyes
With a broken smile
Touch my mouth
With your furrowed brow
Lift my heart
Feel my shame
Lead me into
Rest again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
The night is long
But the day will come
With promises
For the chosen one
Sowed the seed
Sweet taste therein
Call tonight into
My arms again
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
Heroine
The night is long
But the day will come
With promises
For the chosen one
Sowed the seed
Sweet taste therein
Follow dead of night into
Light of day
