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
