    Lyrics:
    I swear my time is coming soon
    These visions fill my head
    Can’t play with darkness pay no dues
    It gets you in the end
    I see the bloody path I walked
    It tears me up inside
    Just a kid who wanted a normal life
    That fell into the night
    Wish that I could make it right
    May the weary and burdened
    Lay it down
    Let darkest of hearts be found
    To the guilty the sinners
    Turn around
    Let the light guide us home
    May the light guide us home
    This Solitudes no way to grow
    Was crying out alone
    No one ever listened ever showed
    This fragile heart grew cold
    So tired of being invisible
    Feared felt better than ignored
    ‘nother idiot who got some power
    I made sure I was heard
    Now all I can feel’s remorse
    May the weary and burdened
    Lay it down
    Let darkest of hearts be found
    To the guilty the sinners
    Turn around
    Let the light guide us home
    May the light guide us home
    I know you feel your destiny
    Is tied within these memories
    I promise if you let me we can turn around
    There’s good in you it’s clear to see
    Ignore all the deceit
    It don’t have to take you down
    Everybody’s got their pain
    The hatred trying to take their reigns
    You know we really are the same
    Just broken souls
    The difference is the side you take
    The choice is yours to make
    We can let this anger go
    Send the demons back to sheoul
    Let the light come guide you home
    Let there be
    Let there be
    Let there be light
    Let there be light
    May the weary and burdened
    Lay it down
    Let darkest of hearts be found
    To the guilty the sinners
    Turn around
    Let the light guide us home
    May the light guide us home
    I’ll take back may life
    Take back my life
    I’m sorry
    So sorry
    Swear I’ll make it right

      @@nathanwagner762 This Trilogy could be a movie with these main characters! On that point tho, I would love to see you make one on "the Side Character" or the "NPC", someone who feels like he's not really in control of his life and can only watch on as all these people with purpose in their life do what their ideology tells them is right. I would love to hear what that guy would say through you and how you would resolve his character arc. First step to letting go of powerlessness is acknowledging it i guess so even if he's still a side character by the end of the song, knowing how he's been a side character would still be a step in the right direction to resolving his character arc.
      Does this sound interesting to you?

      My take on the trilogy is that it tells the tale of one person , not three. The hero: begining and start of rising action, and Antihero and Villain each could be climax or falling action, depending on how the story went, a hero that slowly became a what most would call a villain to further some greater justice to save more people in the long run, or a fallen hero that finds a last stand to redeem themselves.
      It could also be done in the order of villain, hero Antihero. For someone that that what they were doing was just but to come to the conclusion that the have become the thing they swore to destroy (hero being a combo of a flashback and epiphany) with antihero being them swearing a new oath to be kind to the innocent, but to be the villain to villains

    • @gacrazy65
      @gacrazy65 14 дней назад

      I think pop culture has a muddy definition of the 'Anti' characters. (Not WRONG, cause words mean what a culture wants em too.) I like how Matt Colville (DnD youtuber) defines the anti's for his playing as villains episode. The Anti hero (IN THAT INSTANCE, not pop culture) doesn't WANT to be a protag (Note Protag, not hero). Han Solo fits this in Episode 4. He doesn't care to help Luke until there's money involved and when the going gets tough and he doesn't see profit in it, he bails. He changes his mind, of course. This song screams to me as what Colville would describe later in the video as an Anti-Villain, a character who doesn't WANT to be an antagonist. They want to help the Protag... but can't. Either an oath, a personal stake, binding more powerful than their own will, or they think they know more than the Protag and must stop them for the GREATER good. "I must kill you... before you become a monster." or "I respect you all very much and see you're doing what you all think is righteous and just... but I must stop you. I have too. I'm sorry." "I don't know what else to be but this..."

    I love this song. It shows that even Villains are humans, they're not monsters. Everyone deserves grace and mercy, a second chance, no matter what wrongs you have done.
    Thanos thought what he was doing was right. He thought he was walking down the path. When he refused to admit his wrongs, he was killed for it.
    Anakin Skywalker was trying to save his wife. He loved her dearly, and would do anything for her. Luke gave him another chance, and he took it. Anakin was redeemed and eventually died for all the wrongs he committed anyways.
    I could go on and on but I think you get the point.

    The basic theme of my book is that we take up our opressors swords, and continue their work without realizing it. Sometimes when you face a villain for so long, when you lose, for so long, you can become him without realizing it. I cried listening to this because it feels like this song understands that, and it feels like that is an important thing to know.

    What I really like about this one is that near the end you go back to one of your old songs. 'Light' from the darkness EP. Whether you meant to I have no clue. But its nice that you've gone back to that. It's kind of like your revisiting that era but this specific ' light' Is being described in a different meaning. It's so cool! Even tho its probably not it's like a little easter egg for the original fans that have been there since the beginning. I love this one. The trilogy has been completed.

    That was not what I was expecting, that's so creative! And what a beautiful story you told! I'm interpreting this as the hero finally getting through to/saving the antihero who now understands that they became a villain.
    I'm obsessed with the bridge, the flow is so satisfying! "We can let this anger go, send the demons back to Sheol," who gave you permission to write lyrics that cool? "I'll take back my life!" with that music fade hits really hard too! Wow!
    The throwback to Light made me super excited and emotional! Not only do I love it when you reference your other songs, Light is one of my favorites of yours because it was there for me in the darkest of my depression (and because it sounds awesome). It's really cool to see the lyrics in a new light (haha) because it's like how God's light can appear differently to different people; hope for one, forgiveness for another.
    (You've also inspired me to add a new narrative element/character to that story that the first two originally inspired, so thank you for that! If it ever goes anywhere I'll let you know, but for now it's just a fun side project to come up with ideas for. 😊)

    From the art chosen, we seem to follow one man through this trilogy, yet the songs are disconnected enough in their lyrics and story that it could move either way; are we watching a hero fall into darkness, remembering the light he once knew? Or does the trilogy really move backwards, following this man out of his darkness and into the light, from begging others to help him to standing tall announcing that redemption is indeed possible? I love that so much, you can interpret it either way, or you can even see it as three different characters, each choosing a different path to take. You've made quite the narrative here, Nathan, and the music is just incredible all the way though!

    Mate, I don’t know if you’ll read this, but honestly this song resonates so much with me.
    For the longest time that I can remember, I’ve been very angry and bitter with so many people around me: people who I’d considered my friends, People who I thought actually cared about me and even my own family.
    It made me into such a rage filled person that I eventually stopped caring about everyone and everything around me, including myself. And I admit, I made a LOT of mistakes and hurt so many people as a result, many of which didn’t deserve it at all…… 😔 it’s still something that I regret to this day.
    That all changed when I met my Partner and Fiancé a few years ago, who in spite of all the horrors and damage I’ve done, all the mistakes I’ve made and people I’ve hurt, including herself, showed me that I was far better than my past and who I’d thought myself to be.
    It wasn’t easy in the slightest, and I made so many mistakes than I can count in the time that I spent with her, but the more I did, the more it made me want to better myself and be the best person that she saw in me as the best version of myself.
    I’ve unfortunately not been able to contact her again and the many people that I’ve grown to care about for this last Year and a half, almost 2 years now actually, through no fault of my own.
    I’ve still got some ways to go, I’ve still got some regrets and I’m far from done with setting things right for a great many people.
    I know I can’t undo what’s happened in the past and I’ll have to live with some of it, but I’ve come to accept what’s happened and intend to move forwards and better myself regardless.
    I’ve been plagued with a variety of problems in recent times, completely cutoff from communication in any capacity to anyone, Battling constant Health Complications from my decaying vision, Anxiety, Depression, Twisted stomach and a variety of other things, A complete loss of my technology with only the most rudimentary things left and dealing with complete unemployment.
    And yet, In spite of everything that’s been stacked against me and leaving me isolated from the wider world and the people I know, I’ve been able to heal and work myself to being somewhere better for myself.
    I’ve been taking new and different medication to help battle my physical problems, going through Therapy with a counselor who’s been helping me immensely and even been repairing my relationship with my family and healing the rifts that’d been forming and learned to be forgiving as a result.
    I’ve not been angry in a long time and been able to finally let go of the rage, anger, spite and bitterness I’ve held for so long and become someone that I’m proud of.
    I’ve still got ways to go and I’ve still got regrets in my life. I know I can’t undo what’s happened, but I’ve come to accept my past, learned from my mistakes and strive to better myself in spite of them and move forwards with my life as a better person.
    I don’t know when I’ll be able to see my partner again,
    how long it will take and what’ll have changed since then, but I do miss them every single day that I’ve been gone and I hope, on the day that I do reconnect with them again, It’ll be as the person she’s believed me to be and encouraged me to Change into, as someone who’s been through Hell and left it behind as the Better and Stronger man from it. 🥲
    Apologies if this is too long to read, But this song’s seriously made me realise just how far I’ve come in recent years and how all my efforts to bettering myself and healing have been paying off and the journey I’ve taken since then for improving myself.
    It’s just hit me hard is all, Especially with how much I miss all the people I’ve come to love in my heart and soul.😅

    In "The Hero" and "The Antihero" I remember the line "I've made a mess of my conscious..." in both songs. And since it's a song that ties to the two others as a trio of POV's, I think the wording and imagery was played well to tie the two together. Well done. ❤

    This honestly reminds me of a villain I created who later becomes a good guy again. He didn’t want to be a villain, but was turned into one by no fault of his own. His daughter convinced him to come back and now he has a chance to make up for lost time. Great song! Enjoyed “The Hero” and I like the twist with this song.

    Man I do not normally get emotional over music, but I after the awesomeness of antihero and the confidence of hero, I didn't expected villain to be so uplifting. He may have been a villain, but he wants nothing more than to go back and move on. And the throwback to Light at 4:30, "LET THERE BE!" god that made me happy.

    Nathan! This is such an amazing and unique take for a "Villain".
    The Samurai being the "Villain" here is simply a label that others have placed on him for going against the system. He isn't some Evil Mastermind. No. Just a tired and weary human seeking out glory or justice for himself, even if it meant that he must oppose others and cross certain lines to get it. The parallels to "The Hero" here is very apt because everyone is the Hero of their own story...but "the difference is the side you take", right?
    The clear step up in visuals help a lot in immersing me into the story you're crafting. The sequence at 5:46 leading up to the flicker and transition just blew me away! 5:46 we see from the Samurai's perspective, framing himself as the "Hero" of his story as he looks ahead at the challenges on his journey to take back his life. We are shown closer to his back and he is illuminated in a heroic, more positive light. At 6:08, we see from the perspective of the others who view him as the "Villain" of this story, with the Samurai now being further in the distance and shrouded in more sinister lighting. Strangely, this makes your callback to Light make even more sense! Haha!
    Amazing work, Nathan!

Those lines “let the weary and burned lay it down” and “let the darkest of hearts be found” implying that they’re not just talking about themselves, as if they don’t want anyone else to take the path they did. Beautiful.
    The song of a villain who is about to start their redemption arc. I love it! A perfect fit with The Antihero.

    This has to be my favorite song you've made, you really captured the outcast made Villain, a lot of us are Villains in our own way minus the bloodbath part simply due to growing up beat down and invisible to everyone with little to no social support groups. So instead we focus on self gain and self interest and push others away through intimidation and a lack of empathy for others in order to continue to get ahead, as when your all alone the only way you can succeed in life is through being the "Villain". Love your work this song and Hero are definitely my favorites as you captured both aspects perfectly.

    and its so weird how none of the songs follow what you'd think they would be but also fits so well.
