The Last Hero

The city burns below me
People panic in the streets
I see them run, try to escape
To be stopped by the villains
Who now run the world

A paradise it once was
Not so long ago
Safe and clear it was kept
Watched by the 5 Heroes
From our perch on the hill

Nothing could defeat us
Try as though they might
A petty thief, they fell before us
A murderer, they knew better than to try
And we thought ourselves Gods

Until the day there came
A new threat to the city
Arrogant we had become
We sent but one to stop him
And so died the first Hero

So began the great war
That would lead to the great destruction
Destruction of the city
Destruction of the world
Destruction of the Heroes
All for the arrogance of Gods

4 now left to save the world
A world that had begun to crack
For those that had been punished
The time for revenge had come
United under he who killed the first Hero

The battles raged on, each fighting all
Outnumbered were we, but arrogance prevailed
For we still thought ourselves Gods
And how could Gods be defeated
Within their own domain?

One by one, fell the Heroes
As villains rose like the sea
Under the leadership of he
As the city began to break
And the world lost hope in Gods

The world needed more Heroes, as his ranks grew
The people knew that he couldn't be stopped
But it was too late to flee
For there was nowhere left to go
Everywhere is his now

I stand on the hill as my city burns
I have failed, for we were wrong
We were Heroes, but never Gods
And for our arrogance we have payed
Payed down to the last Hero

I know that I will not survive
After I'm gone, Heroes will watch no more
For there are no Heroes in his world
And this world is now his
And I have no place in it

I am no God, I cant do this alone
But I am alone now, save my foes
My only thought, my only wish
One last Alli, but they have all fallen
The world needs more Heroes

I walk down the path to the city
The hill is no longer the home of Gods
Amid the smoke, the full moon shines
One last friend to stand by
On the last Hero's last walk

The streets are filled with them
I can see that from here
This fight I cannot win, so outnumbered
If only there were more Heroes
Maybe I would win

But there will always be another
Villain in this world, no matter
How many Heroes there are
This fight was inevitable, I realized
I was wrong, The world doesn't need more Heroes

It just needs fewer Villains




And so fell the last Hero
