Hero In The Dark by ShadowSing - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro (Spoken / Whispered over rising strings & distant choir)]

In a world that worships heroes…

Someone has to become the nightmare.

They will write my name in ash,

Carve it deep into their fear.

Let them pray for my downfall—

I have already chosen my hell.

If love demands a villain…

Then let the crown burn my brow.

(Guitar distortion swells… drums kick in)

“Forgive me…

for the monster I must become.”

[Verse 1]

Iron knees on a burning throne,

Embers whisper what I’ve outgrown.

Helm of night, eyes aflame,

They’ll curse my shadow, spit my name.

Skulls in the smoke like ghosts of doubt,

Every sin that I’ve bled about.

Blade in the fire, oath in the steel,

If I must break, then let me kneel.

[Pre-Chorus]

Let the world brand me a beast,

Feast on my fall, call me deceased—

I’ll bear the weight of their fear,

If it means you’re safe from here.

[Chorus 1]

I’ll be the villain in their story,

Drown in the dark, deny the glory.

If love demands a twisted crown,

I’ll wear the hate, I won’t back down.

Monster in the crimson light,

Guardian born of endless night.

To the world, I’m war and flame—

To you, I’m home… the same.

[Verse 2]

Chains on the walls, torches cry,

Ash falls soft like lullabies.

Every step leaves scars behind,

Mercy’s a blade I left confined.

Call me tyrant, call me wrong,

I’ve learned that justice won’t stay strong.

So I’ll carve a path through sin and flame,

And shoulder every ounce of blame.

[Pre-Chorus]

If peace is bought with blood and pain,

Then let my hands be stained again.

I’ll be the storm at heaven’s gate,

So you’ll never taste that fate.

[Chorus 2]

I’ll be the villain in their story,

Bathe in the ash of fallen glory.

If love demands a heart of stone,

I’ll stand condemned, alone.

Monster forged in scarlet fire,

Fueled by a forbidden desire.

To the world, I’m death untamed—

To you, I’m unchained.

[Bridge (Breakdown)]

Scream my name in fury—

Let it echo through the sky.

Heroes die for honor,

But I live so you survive.

If darkness is the armor

That keeps your light alive,

Then damn me to forever—

I’ll gladly pay the price.

[Chorus 3]

I’ll be the villain in their story,

Crowned in wrath, stripped of glory.

If love demands I lose my soul,

I’ll let the abyss take hold.

Monster with a shattered wing,

Protector of everything.

To the world, I’m hate and blame—

To you… I’m still your name.

[Outro]

So let the fires rise and roar,

Let them paint me as the war.

If being evil keeps you free—

Then evil is what I’ll be.
