Sympathy for the Villian! By Astra Nova!

(Verse 1)
I see the world through a broken lens,
A hero once, now I'm condemned.
I fought the battles no one knew,
But every scar they gave, they grew.

(Pre-Chorus)
I tried to play the saint, I wore the crown,
But every time I rose, they cut me down.
Now I'm standing in the shadows, alone in the night,
They paint me as the monster, but I once fought for the light.

(Chorus)
So have a little sympathy, sympathy for the villain,
I’m just a broken soul, with a heart that’s gone missing.
You see a darkened face, you see a twisted smile,
But you don’t know the story of my thousand miles.
So have a little sympathy, for the villain in me,
I’m more than just the madness that you want to see.

(Verse 2)
I lost the war before it even began,
Carrying the weight of every sin.
They needed someone they could blame,
So I took the fall, I wore the shame.

(Pre-Chorus)
The hero’s glory fades, their shadows shift,
The burden of the crown is far too swift.
I’ve danced with devils, cried with saints,
But all you see is darkness in my tainted veins.

(Chorus)
So have a little sympathy, sympathy for the villain,
I’m just a broken soul, with a heart that’s gone missing.
You see a darkened face, you see a twisted smile,
But you don’t know the story of my thousand miles.
So have a little sympathy, for the villain in me,
I’m more than just the madness that you want to see.

(Bridge)
I didn’t choose this path, it chose me,
The hero turned to villain, it’s all they see.
But in this shattered mirror, there’s a reflection of truth,
Of the dreams I had when I was just a youth.

(Chorus)
So have a little sympathy, sympathy for the villain,
I’m just a broken soul, with a heart that’s gone missing.
You see a darkened face, you see a twisted smile,
But you don’t know the story of my thousand miles.
So have a little sympathy, for the villain in me,
I’m more than just the madness that you want to see.

(Outro)
So here I stand, in the shadow’s embrace,
A villain to you, but I know my place.
I tried to be the hero, I tried to make it right,
But heroes fade to villains in the darkest night.
