[Verse]
Shadows stretch across the floor
Boots echo like a closing door
He’s back again
The night’s old friend
The story bends
It never ends
[Chorus]
The villain rises again
No heroes left to defend
You can run
You can hide
But it’s all pretend
The villain rises again
[Verse 2]
Smoke curls like a whispered lie
Eyes burning like a blood-red sky
He’s got a grin
A game to spin
The dice are loaded
Let the sin begin
[Prechorus]
Tick-tock
The clock don’t stop
Hear the chains
Hear the drop
[Chorus]
The villain rises again
No mercy
No where
No when
You can scream
You can fight
But it’s just the end
The villain rises again
[Bridge]
Tear down the walls
Rip up the seams
He’s the ghost haunting your dreams
No capes
No flags
Just scars to show
A crown of ash
A throne of woe
