Lyric

A Brave Man Defying Fate (Remix)

Justin Otani

Whispers stole my name away

The sword of justice fades to rust

All began on that cursed night

One lie set the world ablaze

“You are the pride of this kingdom”

Smiled the princess as fate was set

In her eyes, I saw the world

Engaged, a hero and a royal bride

A future promised

Until that night of celebration

The princess was taken

The demon king returned

The kingdom trembled

And I charged into death

But fate is cruel

Dark illusions filled the air

Lies twisted what I saw

The demon’s shape before me

My blade struck down the king

“The hero killed the king! He’s the demon!”

Etched betrayal in my name

Spit from the people

Mockery from once-beloved friends

Love turned into steel

It was my old friend behind it all

Jealousy turned him mad

He stole the princess

Made me kill the king

I had no choice…

The last thing I heard from her lips

“You never knew the pain of defeat

That makes you the demon…”

Then… she took her own life

Why? For whom?

I saved no one

Lost everything

Even love, even hope

No demon ever lived

So I became one

They feared me

Called me "the demon king"

The world turned on me

Even my comrades

Even the peace I once prayed for

Now they come to end me

A burning castle

A broken shrine

A thousand prayers lost in the dark

To reclaim what was stolen

I carry this cursed name

And test the world with blood and tears

No longer legend

No longer hero

I became the symbol of evil

Still… I live

In this ruin, my will survives

The scar of betrayal

Now a question to the world

Who really kills the hero?

Justice did

“Chosen one”…

Who says what that means?

I still believed even as I shattered

Still hoped, deep within hate

“I just wanted to be understood…”

“I just wanted to be loved…”

This is my song of redemption

More human than any

The revenge of a fallen hero

I am the hero

Only unforgiven for one mistake…

Please…

See that light still remains in my eyes
