Heroes Requiem

[Chorus: Adam WarRock]
This is the sound of
When your heroes let you down
When everything you believed in
Is crushed into the ground
And many came and many tried
And nothing's turning back the tide
While evil is controlling
Over spirit, body, and mind

[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
This is the sound of
How the world is falling under
As one man's voice
Will cause the earth to shake
And buildings crumble
As the nations came together
And sent its heroes running towards
The inception of the greatest war
This time in public forum

So first up
Professor Xavier stands with cybernetic legs
And blasts mind attacks overloading the cerebellum stem
Fingers to his temple as his face is turning red
As Demonos feels a tingle with voices from in his head
"Listen, my child, you built inside your mind
A prison to hide. You couldn't the stand
The wisdom with heroes' powers combined."
Then Magneto rose his hand and twisted metal cars
And formed a cage round Demonos
Trapping him behind the bars

One wave from his hand
Regains mental capacity
And blasts the ground beneath Charles
Causing cracks inside the street
Breaking both his legs
As Magneto turned to save him
As Demonos deflected mind blasts
To Eric knocking him to the pavement

When all of a sudden
Demonos feels a mighty blow
And then another
As he's sent reeling
And look, wouldn't you know?
One hit came from Ben Grimm
The other from David Banner
As their brute force knocked Demonos
To the crumbled local tavern
And Grimm grabbed a beer and said
"It's clobbering time!"
And Hulk smashed through the bar
And grabbed Demonos from behind
But as Demonos fell
He cast a spell and grew a double
So from behind the Hulk and Thing
A great noise started to rumble

And so with like one mighty blow
Banner and thing deposed
And Demonos burned the bar down
Stood on his feet composed
But then the ground beneath him shook
And opened up the underground
Where the Ninja Turtles stood ready
To start the second round

As Leonardo and Michelangelo
Led the first attack
And Donatello stood back
With devices to dispatch
With Raphael from the back
And each would do his part
And all four commenced
To show forth and step forth
Their martial arts

But each judo chop was blocked
Each sword stab was deflected
And Donatello's heat seeking
Technology was defective
Demonos held his hand up
And a bright light filled the tunnel
And he turned ninjas
Back to turtles
Evolution was humbled

He climbed the ladder
And emerged back on the street
Just to meet a cry of
"Yo Joe!"
As he stood back on his feet
And a tank had opened fire
Soldiers filled the boulevard
And G.I. Joe
A real american hero
Next up on the battle card

Duke took up an M-60 and fired off shots
As Ripcord jumped from out the sky
And Scarlet shot to cover Hawk
And Hawk gave the go ahead
And Snake Eyes back flipped
To attaching a pack of high explosives
Straight to Demonos' hip
(Boom!)

The smoke cleared
And they heard laughter from the bomb site
As Demonos waved the gauntlet
As fire lit up the night
So Joe had to retreat
Then the rain started to pour
And doused the fire
On a bolt of lightning
Rode Ororo Storm

And so the X-Men came to do their thing
The way that mutants can
And Demonos took the lightning bolt
Absorbed into his hand
Then Iceman tried to slick the ground
As Beast attacked him from the sky
And Cyclops knocked him back
With optic blasts from both his eyes

"This is for Charles Xavier!"
The students shouted angrily
Colossus grabbed Demonos
And tossed him to the alley way
Where Wolverine
Was waiting with his adamantium claws
With berserker rage
He slashed without reaction or a pause

Left bleeding and beaten
Demonos showed his lifespan
As the wounds sealed up
And healed 'fore the two eyes of the x-man
As he flashed claws of his own
And slashed the head of Logan off
Then knocked Colossus back with a right hook
Shattering the Russian's jaw

Flames rose from the ground
As he sent Iceman to the furnace
And Storm was sent to space
Where her powers couldn't hurt him
And Cyclops' eyes were sewn shut
And there Demonos stood
On a pile of bodies
Seemed like earth was done for good

But swinging in
Whip!
It's your friendly Spider-Man
With Doctor Octopus
Now both united acting
Like they had a plan
As Spider-Man webbed the gauntlet
And Ock had him distracted
Cause his seven arms were busy
While the eighth was trying to grab it

And Demonos dispatched
With every arm attached to Octopus
And Spider-Man broke his back
After webs dissolved to mush
Heroes came and heroes fell
Earth stood in desperate hope
When just then
A light from out the sky
Doctor Strange approached

With the Eye of Agamotto
He would cast a spell on Demonos
The sorcerer supreme used
Every power in a futile hope
As Demonos repelled forces
Of his shanty and octessence
As he spit a fiercest chant
Back in Doctor Strange's presence

[Tribe One/Demonos]
Doctor Strange
I rock the mic and
Bring the darkest night
I don't know why
Earth would to stop to fight
With the power I wield
Bring Adam here
I'll make him kneel
And cause faces to fear
While destroying your
Every dream
This is the pain that people feel

[Adam WarRock]
And with a breath
Strange's skin
Started peeling back
And Demonos pulled
The greatest magic trick
(poof)
The disappearing act
Earth was now without
A super hero left to save the day
And Demonos laughed last
As the sky turned back
From blue to gray

What if you had the power
Of all your favorite emcees
And a man spoke with the voice
Of god against his every enemy
The day the earth stood still
Was the day that evil spoke
And controlled the crowd
And Demonos
Known to let the mic smoke

[Chorus] X 2
This is the sound of
When your heroes let you down
When everything you believed in
Is crushed into the ground
And many came and many tried
And nothing's turning back the tide
While evil is controlling
Over spirit, body, and mind

(there's a war going on outside
No man is safe from)
