[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
I dreamed of a better life
I dreamed of a world filled with light
Birds sang
People danced
Everyone got their second chance
Good and bad were easily drawn
It was easy to tell right from wrong
[Bridge]
But then the heros turned into villains
And the shadows that rose
All came from the light that shone
[Chorus]
And the villain was wearing the heros cape
And I cant be saved
No I cant escape
From the villain wearing the heros cape
[Verse 2]
Once upon a time
I tried to dream of a better life
But the dark drowned out the light
It forced me to my knees
Made me realize that the villain was me.
[Chorus]
And the villain was wearing the heros cape
And I cant be saved
No there's no escape
From the villain wearing the heros cape
