Moonfang Hero

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He walks alone at dusk Black coat, silver eyes He calls himself the curse The one they should despise Claw marks on the wall Boots scuffing the street He thinks he's here to ruin Every heart he meets But Mrs. Ito waves From the second-floor door Says, "Eat before you go" And leaves a plate of more [Pre-Chorus] He hides behind the howl He wears it like a mask Thinking all his power Was made to break and blast But when the alley shouts And fear starts to rise He turns toward the danger With truth behind his eyes [Chorus] Moonfang hero, run Moonfang hero, run You don't know who you are Moonfang hero, run Moonfang hero, stay Moonfang hero, stay They loved you from the start You saved them anyway (Moonfang hero) (Moonfang hero) [Verse 2] He took the blame for storms For broken glass and smoke While kids on chalky sidewalks Left him notes of hope On rainy market nights He carried bags and bread He thought it was a weakness To be kind instead But every time the dark Came crawling to the block He stood between the teeth And made the violence stop [Pre-Chorus] He hears his own growl change When strangers need a hand The thing he feared was only The thing that made him stand He never was the villain That story wasn't true The wound he kept inside him Was healing through and through [Chorus] Moonfang hero, run Moonfang hero, run You don't know who you are Moonfang hero, run Moonfang hero, stay Moonfang hero, stay They loved you from the start You saved them anyway (Moonfang hero) (Moonfang hero) [Bridge] Look at your name on the window Left by the ones you guard Look at the porch light burning For the one who came so hard You are the hands that shield them You are the teeth that spare You are the night they trust in You are the one who's there [Final Chorus] Moonfang hero, run Moonfang hero, run You don't know who you are Moonfang hero, run Moonfang hero, stay Moonfang hero, stay They loved you from the start You saved them anyway Moonfang hero, run Moonfang hero, run You were never the dark You were the one who shone (Moonfang hero) (Moonfang hero)
