[Verse One]
I once knew a man back in the day
He was born by the royal way
Either mortal or divine

He was stronger than his peers
Helped his people to live without fear
The best his city ever had

[Chorus]
But he fell from his grace
And now you're taking his place
Now you know how heros turn to one

He stood out, as he must
And like him, you shone too much
If you think you're a hero, then die like one

[Post Chorus]
I told you so
I told you so

[Verse Two]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause he fell from his grace
And now you're taking his place
Now you know how heros 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

[Post Chorus]
I told you so
I told you so

[Outro]
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
