Last light/ Final word

(Rain… sirens fading…)

Villain (whisper):

You still think this ends with you standing?

⸻

I was built from the rubble, yeah, hope in my chest

Told the city “don’t worry,” put my life to the test

Every scar was a promise, every loss I forgave

I kept saving the world while it dug me a grave

They cheered when I bled, then they vanished at night

Said I was the answer, then questioned my fight

But I stayed on my path, yeah I carried the flame

Even when being good started hurting my name

Hero (talking):

You don’t gotta do this… it ain’t too late.

⸻

Too late? That’s funny, coming from you

I watched you choose them every time we both knew

They love you when you win, but when you crack, they run

I learned from your mistakes — that’s how villains are born

I was praying for signs, you were chasing applause

I was drowning in truth, you were married to laws

You call this justice? I call it a lie

I stopped asking for mercy the day hope died

Villain (laughs):

You still believe in them?

⸻

Hero: I gave them my soul—

Villain: And they took it for free

Hero: I tried to be right—

Villain: That’s what ruined you, see

Hero: This isn’t the way—

Villain: It’s the end of your road

Both: When the last light fades, watch the truth unfold

⸻

Hero: I fight so the innocent don’t lose their sleep

Villain: I fight ‘cause the innocent don’t get to eat

Hero: You’re blinded by anger, by pain, by regret

Villain: Nah, I’m focused — you’re still drowning in “what ifs”

Hero: Put the weapon down, we can fix what was broke

Villain: You still trying to save me? That’s the joke

Hero: I see the good in you, it’s still alive

Villain: Then open your eyes when you don’t survive

(Beat drops — impact sound)

⸻

Kryptonite truths, yeah, I studied your heart

You fight fair — that’s where cowards fall apart

I hit where it hurt, where your faith used to live

Took everything you had, nothing left to give

Now you laying there asking “was it worth the pain?”

I warned you — heroes lose when they play the game

I don’t need a cape, I don’t need their praise

I just took the crown at the end of your days

Villain (quiet):

This is what reality looks like.

⸻

If I fall here tonight, let the record show

I loved them even when they let me go

Maybe I was naive, maybe I was blind

But I’d rather lose clean than poison my mind

If you win like this, what do you become?

Villain: Something honest. Something numb.

Then promise me one thing when they turn on you—

Villain: I won’t beg like you.

⸻

The city gonna cheer till the cycle repeats

Another “chosen one” crushed under these streets

I didn’t kill a hero… I proved what they are

Just a man with a mask and some breakable scars

(Footsteps fade… beat cuts.)
