New Song "The Tyrant"
🕑 Added 2025-09-15 14:56:25 +0000 UTCI'm so so sorry this took me so long. Me and Tiff had to do a little traveling to figure out where we're gonna live over the next year and then we got pretty sick 😭 I've been working on this one slowly over the past few weeks. I think I'll probably take a few things out for the public version but here it is is uncut! Really hope you like it! Love you all!
Black smoke fills my lungs - As fire drowns out the sun - Our shelter burned to dust - Shrapnel rains - Tell me what’s the meaning of this grief - Young blood dying for nothing - Say what you gain from war machines - Got death on your fingers - Your crown drips insatiable greed
When our hope runs dry - We’ll hold our fight - Be the afterlight - Make ashes rise - Build a brand new age - And Forge new brighter days - We may hurt but never break - We stand unafraid
Footprints crack the ground - Where shattered walls surround - You’ve torn apart this town - Ashes rain - Swear that we can bring back what you’ve taken - Young hands rise up never shaken - Seeds bloom stones stacked reawakened - Look at us now - Swear you’ll never be keeping us down
When our hope runs dry - We’ll hold our fight - Be the afterlight - Make ashes rise - Build a brand new age - And Forge new brighter days - We may hurt but never break - Stand unafraid
Turned the ashes to gardens - The Rubble to homes - Was that really the best that you can do? - Took your havoc and carnage - From ruins we rose - Now we’re on our way to you - Thought your reign was eternal - Your power was sealed - But your time is coming soon - Through the gates of your kingdom - Your throne room unveiled - Justice made its way to you
Look you in the eye - Stand there weak and terrified - You were tall and mighty high and proud - Now you kneel, defiant With your blood stained crown - Watch your kingdom turn to ash and dirt - Guess we’re bound to get what we deserve
When it’s dark - And the hope runs dry - Keep the fight - Be the afterlight - Til’ ashes rise - Thought that you could take our fate but - Verdicts come it’s yours erased - The tyrant has fallen - A New world Begins

Wait where?
Also, I love the callback "Justice made its way to you" to Mercy's "When justice makes its way to Earth"
Wait where?
"Verdicts come it's yours erased" is such a neat wrap up

The part starting at 2:55 is gorgeous, but it feels like it belongs to a different song. Once the next section starts up at 3:51 it goes back to a more cohesive feel. But it's a great song and has a definite story to it that I love

I honestly thought the bridge was going to take a completely different direction but this took me by surprise! I love it! I do feel as though the end was a little long but it could almost be used to lead into another song, or even the beginnings of another series of songs; similar to The Hero/Anti-Hero/Villan/Anti-Villan
