I once knew a man back in the day
He was born by the royal bay
Either mortal or divine
He was stronger than his peers
Helped his people to live without fear
The best his city ever had
Well, he fell from his grace
And now you're taking his place
Now you know how heroes turn to one
He stood out, as he must
And like him, you shone too much
If you think you're a hero, die like one
I told you so
I told you so
His tale remained for a thousand years
His death was mourned by a hundrеd tears
He was honored for his lifе
His legacy has reached to you
It isn't your choice, you were destined to
Live the rest of your life despised
'Cause he fell from his grace
And now you're taking his place
Now you know how heroes turn to one
He stood out, as he must
And like him, you shone too much
If you think you're a hero, die like one
I told you so
I told you so
And now you want to come to me
And now you're living secretly
Away from the seeing eye
You're just repeating history
Don't blame me if you die
Just live this time with caution
I'll make sure you'll be fine
