(hello yes I saw this neatly baited hook and I am biting)
From Hero to Villain(elle)
I left my cape behind, my life to gain (I promised "birth to death" - it was a lie) for with great power comes the greatest pain
No guilded, gleaming children can complain enshrined in gold on pedestals so high I left my cape behind, my life to gain
My world became an echoing refrain "be better, best, no step can go awry" and with great power comes the greatest pain
So I with lightning scorching through my veins went groundward, sought my refuge from the sky I left my cape behind, my life to gain
Authority will call my acts profane a spark, once lit, must always amplify but with great power comes the greatest pain
The golden child is crumpled, broken, slain for me to live, my old self had to die I left my cape behind, my life to gain For with great power comes the greatest pain
