Stygian:
How could you run off frightened
When they all needed you?
To leave them ‘neath the spell, abandon all you once knew
And after all that’s happened
Just you alone are free
But what more can I do, but turn my tail and flee
I’ve lived a simple life
I’m no one great or mighty
What more could I have done
Who would the hero rightly be?
Stygian + Choir:
The hero I seek (hero I seek)
Protect the humble and weak
Stygian:
If only I could find one
A warrior or mage,
Or even search for him, the greatest wizard of this age
But who would wish to come
To save our lowly town
When monsters hide in every shadow that is found
But how would they all hide
If light could shine for all to see?
Why find a single knight
When we could have an army be
Stygian + Choir:
The heroes I seek (heroes I seek)
To fight what evil may wreak
[Guitar Solo: L-Train]
Stygian:
If they’d only hear my plea
Far beyond the Sirens
Just imagine what could be
We would stand the vanguard against anything
Every battle could be won
When they’d need us we would be
United, as guardians to save everyone
History is full of evils left astray
Like a plague upon the world
Darkness we could finally seal away
We could forge something great
Protect all those who are in need
Each foe would know their fate
As righteous Pillars they could be
Stygian + Choir:
The heroes I seek (heroes I seek)
To stand when all else looks bleak (all else looks bleak)
To save the vanquished and meek (vanquished and meek)
The heroes I seek
