It is nice to finally see someone who stands up and fights,
For our truth, for our justice, for our happiness and our rights
Oh, how bright your armour shines, kid, it's a hero's true attire,
It suits your shining attitude and your will that will not tire
But this odious villainy that you've sworn yourself against
Didn't emerge from hell, but is a natural consequence
Of humanity's self-defeating appetite for decay
And that hollowing hunger only grows more dire each day
Your fight's not just against a foe, but against the ceaseless tide,
How are you meant to keep him out when he's already inside?
I get it- you're a hero, you have principles and dreams
You outsmart the silly villain and his silly villain schemes
You reject my dim reality and much prefer your own
One where love and harmony can defeat any evil known
I don't want to be a hater, kid, I wish your world was true
But, if I were a gambling man, I wouldn't bet on you
In this world a lie can dance and boldly sway
The truth, with its many shades, struggles to find its way
Yet in your eyes, a spark, against the shadow's heavy leer,
A promise that in complexity, truth will persevere?
But your sword, however sharp, can't cut through webs unseen
The real battle is taking place in the spaces inbetween
The war will come to you— as it did with me
By the time I looked down I was up to my knee
I was stabbing and slicing and doing my best
But the shadow dragged me under as it did with the rest—
You step out of line— you die— I know it isn't fair
But why else do you think we would put that line there?
It is nice to finally see someone who stands up and fights,
For our truth, for our justice, for our happiness and our rights
Oh, how bright your armour shines, kid, it's a hero's true attire,
It suits your shining attitude and your will that will not tire
But this odious villainy that you've sworn yourself against
