The hero

By lockupthedoors

 There are legends about me
or, there are where I live
thousands of lives away

   everything's different now.

      The stories they tell of you
      I thought you'd be stronger
      You were a hero
      You're why I'm here

         I am the summoner from stories
         I was put into legends
         My purpose here is to guide you to save us
         from fire,
                  from hell,
                           from life

            You were born, wrong place, wrong time
            to save us from our battle
            but what has happened
            why are you so weak

          What has broken you
          I see in your eyes, you used to be strong
          how will you help us now
          cast of your shattered skin

                 SAVE US
                 be beautiful again

                    we need you, strong one
                    come with me
                    you'll grow along the trail
                    promise you'll be strong enough
                    by the time you get to hell


                         To save us.
                                  To be great.
Be beautiful again
