Defender of the Forsaken 2.0 - Alternate Ending

[Verse] Blood stains my hands Darkness takes my soul For my loved ones I embrace my monstrous role No longer human A force to be reckoned In this sadistic world I'll be the one defending [Verse 2] I shed my skin Becoming something more A beast unleashed An embodiment of war No pain can break me No limit to my rage I'll sacrifice it all My humanity I disengage [Chorus] Defender of the forsaken I bear the scars of hell With every breath I take My humanity I repel In this eternal fight I'll stand tall and strong For the ones I cherish I'll forever carry on [Bridge] In the abyss I dwell A guardian in the night My love fuels this madness My heart the guiding light For every fallen tear For every whispered plea I've traded my own soul To set my loved ones free [Verse 3] Through the fires of torment And the rivers of despair I walk a path of shadows To show how much I care No mercy for the wicked No respite from the storm In the darkness of my sacrifice A new strength is born. [Chorus] Defender of the forsaken I bear the scars of hell With every breath I take My humanity I repel In this eternal fight I'll stand tall and strong For the ones I cherish I'll forever carry on [solo] [Outro] When the final battle ends And the night begins to fade The remnants of my humanity In the light will cascade For love, I became the monster For love, I faced the night In the echoes of my sacrifice I'll be their eternal knight [Outro Reprise] Through the loss and pain Through the endless fight I’ll protect what I love With all my might Though I walk in shadows And face the darkest fright My sacrifice for love Will lead us to the light [fadeout]
