The Fall of A Hero

How does one go from main character to side character?
How does one go from the sun to the moon?
How does one go from God to dust?
How does one go from priceless to worthless?

I keep wondering how this hero fell.
Trying desperately to find the answer. Through rain or shine
Through night or day
Year by Year
Day by day

I keep wondering until I realise.
This hero chose to become zero.
This hero with the world at his very feet chose to give it all up to support.
This hero made the choice and now he must live with it.

He must live with it but what if the only reason he gave it up was to survive.
What if he had to let go to survive
What if he had to let go to live
Is it still fair to keep the crown
From this dashing hero born to rule.
He had to let go but now he’s ready
Ready to take the world back.
So please let him for he was born to rule.

This dashing hero born to rule belongs on the throne so please don't fight it.
He can't fight yet but I promise once he gets the crown.
Never again will you frown.
For he is meant to lead and not the ones underneath.

Let's give his story a happy end
For he is very much your friend.
This dashing hero born to rule
I swear on my life will never be cruel.
So please let's not have strife and let the king rule.
