about

We're quoting The Maidens (a novel) by Alex Michaelides
with the seed line line "Allow me to be the hero in my own story - even thought I'm not. I am the villain," as collage lyric.

How does one's awareness evolve? Via apothecary, alchemy, or the Great Journey?

lyrics

COUNT OMINOUS

Am I the villain?
Seeking only glory
Black bile that drives the plot

Allow me to be the hero
in my own story.
Even though I’m not

So you quest for
The dark elixir
What makes a villain rot...

Apothecary,
Fairy curses
A toxic potion for blood lust

Quaff the brew,
It burns your eyes,
Release the villain from inside

Drink your allegiance to apathy!

Now the nemesis
In your story
The one that foils the plot

Apothecary,
Gremlin curses
A poison wrecking trust

Allow me to be the hero
in my own story.
Now I’ll drive the plot

I hear the war drum
of your heart
