The heroes don't necessarily have to succeed- strictly speaking they don't even have to live past the endeavor, but the Song of Courage at least makes them [[RuleOfCool look cool]] as they fall. The Song isn't about [[DoNotGoGentle not going gentle into that good night]] -- it's about [[NotAfraidToDie triumph against the fear of death]], and the people singing it may simply be awaiting their imminent deaths, knowing that trying to fight it won't help.

* The Pied Piper plays one (crossed with ThePowerOfRock) in the "Countdown" arc, using {{Music/Queen}}'s "The Show Must Go On," a song that probably qualifies for the trope all by itself given the fact that Music/FreddieMercury was dying of AIDS-related complications at the time it was recorded.
