This is an awesome Gene Simmons ballad which was co-written by Lou Reed also. I love Paul Stanley's guitar solo on this track.

This song was part Kiss' attempt at a concept album. The idea was it was to be the soundtrack to a movie called The Elder, hence the name of the album. The album is about a young man chosen to go on quest to fight the forces of evil. He decides that the quest is to much for him to take on and it seems the evil character , Mr. Blackwell, will be victorious as there is no hero to fight against him. That's where the song A World Without Heroes comes. In the end he accepts the path laid in front of him and is victorious in defeating Mr. Blackwell. Is it a cheesy story...Yes Was it one of Kiss' worst albums...Yes Was it the end of Kiss...No But it was the first album to feature Eric Carr on drums
