Villain

Verse 1)

I played the loyal subject

I swallowed all my pride

Kept all of my ambitions a side out of sight

I walked the narrow road

I carried all the doubts

But they just left me standing at the edge's

While they rewrite the history and twist it like they created it

The fears I have The promises I keep

Are burning into ashes at my feet(Pre-Chorus)

I was the one they could easily replace

A painted smile to cover my disgrace

But pride is a poison that I swallowed down

And a heavy heart is cracking under the crown

I took every risk just to make them see

But the hero's cape never fit for me(Chorus)

If I couldn't be the hero, I'll be the villain

They wanted a monster, look at what they' created

The suffering is over

The scars are what I feel

But I am done with begging, I'm taking what's mine

Yeah, if I couldn't be the hero, I'll be the villain

I'll show them the destruction that I’m instilling

A shadow on the throne

I’m making this my twisted tale

I'd rather rule it all(Verse 2)Being obedient was my pastime

But I've been hurt for the last time

And I won't ever let another person take advantageof me

The suffering burns my heart,like hell

Now my pride's boiling hotter than a fiery sea

There's nobody getting a piece of me

They're gonna bow to the darkest thing they've seen

Your greatest fear is my dreams

Just wait until the whole kingdom fall to my evilschemes(Pre-Chorus)

I was the one they could easily replace

A painted smile to cover my disgrace

But pride is a poison that I swallowed down

And a heavy heart is cracking under the crownI took every risk just to make them seeBut the hero's cape never fit for me(Chorus)If I couldn't be the hero, I'll be the villain

They wanted a monster, look at what they createdThe suffering is overThe scars are whatfeel

But I am done with begging, I'm taking what's mine

Yeah, if I couldn't be the hero, I'll be the villain

I'll show them the destruction that I’m instilling

A shadow on the throne

I’m making this my twisted tale

I'd rather rule it all(Bridge)

I want what's best for me, I wanna rule it all

Step back and watch them flee, I'm gonna watchthem fall

It's finally my turn, let the world burn

I'll take the crown that they made me earn

The risk was massive, no more being passive

The suffering made me aggressiveThe pride in my veins is obsessive

My reign as the villain will be so impressive

I'm breaking the ceiling, the darkness is healing

I'll show this whole world what I'm truly concealing!(Chorus)If I couldn't be the hero, I'll be the villain

They wanted a monster, look at what they created

The suffering is over

The scars are what I feel

But I am done with begging, I'm taking what's mine

Yeah, if I couldn't be the hero, I'll be the villain

I'll show them the destruction that I’m instilling

A shadow on the throne

I’m making this my twisted tale

I'd rather rule in rule it all(Outro)

If I couldn't be the heroI'll be the villain

Where the angels used to fall now the devil's fly,I'llbethe Villain
