I was the Hero
(Verse 1) I wore the armor, I bore the scars, Fought for the light, now I stand in the dark. I swore I’d never be like them, Now I see it in my reflection. (Pre-Chorus) Every choice, every lie, Built the throne where I now reside. I tried to fight it, I tried to run, But in the end, I've become... (Chorus) The villain in your story now, A king with a tarnished crown. I was the hero, I swore an oath, Now I’m the monster you fear the most. No redemption, no way out, Just a villain wearing doubt. (Verse 2) The weight of power, it changed my hands, A slow decay, a cruel demand. You can’t stay golden in a world so grey, Even angels fall someday. (Pre-Chorus) Every step, every sin, Built the prison I’m trapped within. I tried to fight it, I tried to run, But in the end, I've become... (Chorus - Bigger & Darker) The villain in your story now, A king with a tarnished crown. I was the hero, I swore an oath, Now I’m the monster you fear the most. No redemption, no way out, Just a villain wearing doubt. (Bridge - Emotional Climax) Burn my name, rewrite the past, Make me the nightmare that will always last. I never meant to fall this way, But heroes die, and villains stay... (Final Chorus - Grand & Haunting) The villain in your story now, A king with a tarnished crown. I was the hero, I swore an oath, Now I’m the monster you fear the most. No redemption, no way out, Just a villain wearing doubt. (Outro - Fading into the Shadows) I tried to fight it, I tried to run, But in the end, I’ve become...

Thank you, Kaizo! Glad you enjoyed it. I almost didn't post this. Because I didn't like how it was coming out, I'm glad I did

🔥What is most striking is the raw, human ache beneath the declarations. You allow doubt, sorrow, even flashes of longing to flicker in lines like “heroes die, and villains stay” or “just a villain wearing doubt.” This makes the song resonate not merely as a tale of downfall, but as an almost philosophical meditation on the nature of power, failure, and self-perception. Great song.🥰
