[Verse 1]
I was born in the silence, raised by the flame
They gave me a mask, but I carved my own name
The world wrote me off like a glitch in the code
Now I rise from the ash with a heart made of stone
[Pre-Chorus]
You prayed for my fall, watched with hopeful eyes
But shadows like me? We never say goodbye
[Chorus]
’Cause the villain never dies, we just fade into the dark
Burning louder than your lies, with a never-breaking heart
You can curse me, try to break me, bury me in cries
But I’ll rise, and I’ll rise—’cause the villain never dies
[Verse 2]
I once begged for mercy, knelt to the light
But mercy’s a ghost in the cold dead of night
So I made a vow on the edge of the blade
To dance with the pain that the heroes evade
[Pre-Chorus]
You feared what I’d be, now you see it in my eyes
You can kill the dreamer, but not what survives
[Chorus]
’Cause the villain never dies, we just haunt the empty skies
With a fire in our veins, and a storm behind our eyes
You can burn me, try to chain me, call my truth a lie
But I’ll rise, and I’ll rise—’cause the villain never dies
[Bridge]
This is more than revenge, it’s a final breath scream
It’s the sound of the lost rewriting their dream
Call me the monster, the cursed, the despised
But legends are born when the villain survives
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, the villain never dies—no matter how you try
We rise in the ruins with blood in our cry
You can fear me, hate me, cut all the ties
But deep in the dark—
The villain never dies
