Descendants: The Rise of Red

More To My Father

Malachi searched for the teenage version of his father. He journeyed to his home, the Isle of the Doomed. He was thankfully able to get past the Gargoyles guarding to bridge.

As he approached the Kingdom, Malik stood outside, facing the sea, his back turned to anyone who entered. Malachi hated seeing his father upset. That's why he always worked so hard to make him proud. But after discovering what happened, he felt like his father deserved everything.

"Malik?" He asks, slowly approaching them. "I saw what happened at the village. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the pain you're going through, physically and mentally, if there's-"

"She did to me" he whispers. Malachi looks up, confused.

"What?"

"She did this to me...my own sister...just for 'fun'" Malik's hurt slowly transforms into anger. "How could she do this to...her own brother?" He clutches his growing fist.

"Look, Malik, I know it hurts. There's this person in my life who always seems to make my life miserable without eve trying (Mal). But you can be better than Maleficent."

"I will be. If she's evil...then I'll be...I'll be diabolical. She did this to me and now she will pay the price. They all will."

(Verse 1 - Malik)

My pain is insurmountable, my sorrow knows no end
A shattered horn, a broken soul, a betrayal I can't comprehend
She, my sister, once closest to my heart
Now her wickedness tears us apart

(Pre-Chorus - Malik)

Oh, the memories haunt me, her laughter in my mind
A sound that pierces through, so unkind
I never thought she'd turn against her own kin
But now I'm consumed by the darkness within

(Chorus - Malik)

Echoes of betrayal, they echo in my head
Fury and resentment, my heart becomes lead
Twisted by vengeance, I won't hold back anymore
I'll surpass her cruelty, become the darkest lore

(Verse 2 - Malik)

A creature born of anger, I'm transformed from within
No longer just a brother, but a force filled with sin
I'll show her what it means to inflict such pain
No mercy, no remorse, only revenge remains

(Pre-Chorus - Malik)

She thought she could break me, tear my world apart
But I'll rise from the ashes with darkness as my art
Malachi, my friend, I hear your plea
But this path of evil is the only one for me

(Chorus - Malik)

Echoes of betrayal, they echo in my head
Fury and resentment, my heart becomes lead
Twisted by vengeance, I won't hold back anymore
I'll surpass her cruelty, become the darkest lore

(Bridge - Malachi)

Malik, my friend, can't you see?
There's redemption beyond this hollowness, set yourself free
Evil won't heal the wounds, it only breeds more pain
Let's find a better way, break this twisted chain

(Verse 3 - Malik)

I hear your words, Malachi, but my resolve is strong
I'll make her pay for her deeds, prove her oh so wrong
In the realm of darkness, I'll rise to the top
No more meekness, I won't let this story stop

(Chorus - Malik and Malachi)

Echoes of betrayal, they echo in my head
Fury and resentment, my heart becomes lead
Twisted by vengeance, I won't hold back anymore
I'll surpass her cruelty, become the darkest lore

(Outro - Malik)

The echoes of betrayal fuel my every stride
I'll embrace this darkness, forever by my side
I'll conquer the pain and make her regret
For I am Malik, destined to become the evil she won't forget.
