walk towards the light.

(Slow, haunting melody begins) Verse 1: I’m the shadow in the corners, Where the lonely hearts convene, I’m the whisper in the quiet, Of the places never seen.

I’m the flicker in the fire, Of a dream that’s lost its glow, But somewhere in this aching heart, There’s something you should know…

I’ve been King of all the darkness, I’ve ruled over fear and dread, But deep down in my bones, I crave the light instead.

I’m more than just a monster, More than tales they’ve spun and sold, I’m searching for a meaning, More than what’s been told…

Verse 2: I’ve danced with ghosts in silence, I’ve kissed the night’s cold air, I’ve tasted sweet oblivion, But now I’m stripped and bare.

The world outside is calling, With its pain and with its truth, I’m tired of just pretending, I’m longing for my youth.

I’ve been King of all the darkness, I’ve ruled over fear and dread, But deep down in my bones, I crave the light instead.

I’m more than just a monster, More than tales they’ve spun and sold, I’m searching for a meaning, More than what’s been told…

Bridge (softer, introspective): They say the monsters stay in shadows, That our place is in the dark, But what if we were more than terrors? What if there’s still a hidden spark?

I see the children’s faces glowing, They don’t run, they don’t scream, Maybe there’s a chance for us, To be more than just a dream…

Verse 3 (building in intensity): I’ve seen the way they look at me, With eyes so wide and clear, They don’t know what I am inside, But still, they draw me near.

I could be their friend, their guide, Not just their haunting tale, Perhaps the scariest thing of all, Is learning not to fail.

Final Chorus (full of power and hope): I was King of all the darkness, I ruled over fear and dread, But now I feel it in my bones, I’ll chase the light instead.

I’m more than just a monster, More than shadows growing old, I’m searching for a meaning, More than what’s been told!

Outro (gentle, hopeful): So here I stand, not just a creature, Not just the terror in the night. I’ll find my way, with heart and courage, I’ll walk towards the light.
