Nothing But Thieves - Holding Out For A Hero Lyrics
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Nothing But Thieves Holding Out For A Hero Comments
That basssss
Vikings ...yep nothing but thieves
Good get your recognition you deserve bitch!
How did I not find this yet?
this version of the song sounds like someone crying out for help in the midst of a war, also its gayyyy ^U^ so ye XD boy singing about a boy,
if this was the prompt for a film set in world war 2 or a medieval era this would be so AWESOME, just picture it. ima start writing it lol
why am i getting this recommend now?!? this is killer!!
It's all ogre now
Bless them for not changing the pronouns.
Who would have thought that NBT plus a Bonnie Tyler song would equal ultimate Jeff Buckley vibes? My heart is very happy right now.
I respect that they didn’t change the pronouns ngl
This Shrek reboot sure looks weird
Shrek is edgy now
NTB should do the theme for the next James Bond movie
This son could be a great trailer music for any Assassin's Creed
Bonnie Tyler and Jennifer Saunders do this one BETTER.
I love this version. 🍷🖤⚘
UNBELIEVABLE COVER! Better than the original!
i love both versions equally
Me too but this one is better and darker.
sometimes i dream fighting a lot of feminist and SJW with my toxic masculinity hearing this song....is this a sign to shine?
Can we get this top comment please?
Honestly
Utterly wrong tempo, doesn't work for this song at all, IMO
respectfully disagree 🤗
amazing version for an incredible series!!!
You listened to this song because you watched Vikings...
...I watched Vikings because I listened to this song.
I don't watch Vikings
@TBS SiLenC lol neither I just thought this was amusing .-.
Still in love.
That bassline absolutely MAKES this cover god damn
sesacional, orgasm for my ears.... like june 2019
Prince + knight= this fucking song
Sad ...this a victorious bold proud song..not for someone coming out of her high...urgh
This turns a happy song into something completely badass
Sorry dwight
Shrek 2 but *edgy*
Jk
Its amazing!
Who’s here from the DBD vid of Dwight?
im just gona say one name Dwight
Sir Rodion - Dead By Daylight editing god sent me here.
The end is so sad 😥
This is like a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SONG
And it's fricking awesome
I will not deny liking the original better, but this one can't be compared anyway since it's less a cover and more a song in a completely different genre
Who came here from Sir Rodion?
conor, will you be my hero?
>tfw you realize it's a dude
Love this band some much
Eargasm
wow..... love it!!! <3 <3 <3
If you like this cover you should listen to their cover of 'Crazy'
Yeah, it's awesome
Ok why am I just hearing this know???
Iam now more in love with this band. I can`t believe that they transform that song nto this version. I love them bot btw
Fairy Godmother would be proud
This is so so beautiful
It's better than original version...
I agree although I like the original too!
Not as good as the Shrek or the original.
I agree. It just feels "meh." It lost all the theatrics that made the song so great in the first place.
@awindwaker Where have all the rock ballads gone?
Why nobody is talking about this song being used for a "Vikings" trailer? "Vikings", one of the best series plus this amazing cover is something I can't take... it's too good, it's delightful, it's orgasmic, I'm dying in a good way.
one of the sexiest versions of this song, love it! These guys cant do anything wrong.
Why does this remind me of rose and Dimitri from vampire academy?
The only way this song could ever have been covered and still do Bonnie justice.
😍😍😍
Love that bass!
Listen to this song with headphones, it's crazy!
perfect melancholic monotony voice for my autumn season
This version sounds so sexual it’s so bloody good that my ears are orgasming
1M! 💙
It's SO COOL!
Thats a guy!?
I need more song covers like this--holy shit
OH BRILLIANT
I didn't know they did this cover! LOL
who comes here after my link?
HOW ARE THEY SO GOOD WTF
"I'll show you what I can do!"
-Dwight
who is here , because of the ending of the Dead by daylight video "Everyone needs a hero" ? :D
Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
God Damnit Rodin You Do It Again
I love you so much guys. You're amazing 💜
It sounds so dark and dead
Fucking everything, but is there by anychance a similar female cover?
I love this it's giving me major ahs vibes 🔥🔥🔥
Oh god I very love it, good job
where has this been all my life
I love this cover :3
When Prince Charming gets your princess 🤘😩
Ok everytime i hear this song I cant stop thinking about shrek
But this cover changed it all.
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME EVERY SONG I GET INTO THERES A NBT COVER I LOVE THIS
I absolutely love this cover! I did like the 'Shrek 2'- Version best, but this has just such a sexy, dark, mysterious vibe it's positively addictive! Thank you so much for this!

Fairy Godmother is shook

Nothing But Thieves can make me love any song, it's confirmed by this cover
This cover would've been great for justice league
In Shrek “Give me an Cm”
With NBT Conor says: “Give me your bests high notes” 😹😹
Wow... ❤
Umm?? Hell yes. He can be my hero any day :o
I love this??? So much.
