The time is ripe for a villain-elle
I don't know about you but-
I tire of tales that heroes tell
Our hearts are a blackened well
Of ink from which we shout
The time is ripe for a villain-elle
Redundant trumpets mark the yell
Of Hellenistic battle cries
I tire of tales that heroes tell
Charcoal churches ring the bell
To mark the hour's pass
The time is ripe for a villain-elle
Come forth the night to break the spell
Written for those who say
I tire of tales that heroes tell
They will recant their "All is well"
When madness descends upon them
I tire of tales that heroes tell
The time is ripe for a villain-elle
