Protean

[Verse 1] In the shadows of the night, a whisper calls your name, Protean's lurking close, he’s never quite the same. Faces of the fallen, voices in disguise, A ghost without a past, seen through many eyes. [Chorus] Protean, the shapeshifting bane, Forgotten who he was, lost in the pain. Protean, with a heart of black, Killing heroes, leaving shadows in his track. [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] He killed Manticore's parents, left the hero scarred, Dauntless fell as well, torn by Protean's guard. He lures them to their doom, with a mocking grin, A hollow shell of man, drowning in his sin. [Chorus] Protean, the shapeshifting bane, Forgotten who he was, lost in the pain. Protean, with a heart of black, Killing heroes, leaving shadows in his track. [Harmonica Break] [Bridge] Back Alley Brawler took a shot in the back, Saved by Sister Psyche, before the world went black. Manticore's arrow flew, to end this wretched fiend, But doppelgangers rise, from the depths of his schemes. [Chorus] Protean, the shapeshifting bane, Forgotten who he was, lost in the pain. Protean, with a heart of black, Killing heroes, leaving shadows in his track. [Guitar and Harmonica Duet] [Verse 3] In the streets of Paragon, whispers of his name, A connection to Praetoria, fueling his dark game. Special Agent Adair, seeks to find the truth, Leonard on the trail, of this eternal sleuth. [Chorus] Protean, the shapeshifting bane, Forgotten who he was, lost in the pain. Protean, with a heart of black, Killing heroes, leaving shadows in his track. [Outro] He’s out there in the night, with a face you know, Protean’s reign of terror, in his shadow’s glow. An endless masquerade, a dance of death's design, Forever in the darkness, his evil will entwine. Shoutout to John "Protean" Hegner [End] [End]
