The main character of a story, the hero
The one who fights only for justice
The one renewing the sanctity of life
Money, women, cars, power
These things give meaning only to evil
People who do not know of god

Sometimes their strength is from god
Though they all embody the hero
Living only to oppose evil
A physical proponent of justice
A constant example of how innocence is power
Saving others regardless of their own life

The sole and holy maker of life
Is the leader of the hero, god
Who’s the one being with absolute power
The main driving force behind justice
That seeks to bring down evil
Has chosen the one and only hero

However their opponent is great and powerful, evil
Which has corrupted men’s souls, seeking life
Naturally opposing the flow of justice
The most powerful force against god
Ripping, tearing and conflicting the hero
The one ultimate threat on heaven's power

Along the fantastical quest for power
The encountering of evil
Is inevitable but weak against the hero
Because the faith he has in human life
The same unending faith as god
With a fixation on the pursuit of justice

Always staying faithful to their justice
Forgetting what was granted them was not power
But the unending love and spirit of god
It is that love that destroys evil
Love with the effect of life
This continues to shine in the hero

Though evil will always corrupt power
Love is the justice of this life
Love, given by god, to the greatest character ever, the hero
