(Verse 1 - The Setting) Glass walls reflecting a distorted face She’s the queen of the tower, the goddess of the place But the perfume hides the scent of the decay And the "villains" in her story are the ones she’ll betray She shouts for the cameras, plays the victim so well While she turns the office floor into a living hell She calls Ed a traitor, calls Sierra a snake While she’s pocketing the millions and the hearts she can break.(Chorus) They’re the villains in her story, the demons in her head But they’re writing a new ending, Sierra and Ed One from the shadows, one in the heat Dismantling the empire, brick by deceit For every bribe and every blow she threw They’re bringing the light to what they always knew.(Verse 2 - Sierra on the Outside) Sierra’s in the cold air, a ghost in the street Tapping the servers where the dirty lines meet She’s tracking the wire-transfers, the hush-money checks The trail of the coercion around the board members' necks She’s meeting the witnesses in the dead of the night Gathering the paper for the ultimate fight She’s the eye in the sky, the wind at the door Counting the casualties of this corporate war.(Verse 3 - Ed on the Inside) And Ed’s in the furnace, he’s taking the screams The assault on his spirit, the crushing of dreams She raises a hand, she crosses the line He swallows the fire, says "Everything’s fine" But his phone’s in his pocket, the mic’s always on Recording the bribery before she is gone He’s smiling through bruises, he’s playing the part With a cold, quiet justice living deep in his heart.(Bridge) Assault and the anger, the hands on the throat She thinks she’s the captain of an unsinkable boat But the deceit is the anchor and the bribery’s the rust And the "villains" are watching her turn into dust One more signature, one more lie Watch the blue-chip empire fall from the sky.(Guitar Solo - Sharp, jagged, and triumphant)(Chorus) They’re the villains in her story, the demons in her head But they’re writing a new ending, Sierra and Ed One from the shadows, one in the light Dismantling the empire in the dead of the night.(Outro) The files are sent. The truth is out. No more whispers. No more doubt. Ed walks out the lobby, Sierra’s waiting at the gate The villains just won. And it’s far too late.
