[ TT ] People refuse to acknowledge their hero 's increasingly dark behavior and keep making excuses for him .

What began as a way to be appreciated, 
 
 Became something much more dark and shaded, 
 
 A man to stop those who would agress, 
 
 Became a sociopathic mess, 
 
 And those who knew him all too well, 
 
 Could see the soul they ’ d loved was now a hollow shell, 
 
 A symbol for hope, in praise he was showered, 
 
 But was twisted and devoured by his own power, 
 
 Yet the ones from afar who ’ d give their praise, 
 
 Refused to recognize his cruel dark ways, 
 
 “ I mean, yeah, he has a tendency towards decapitation, 
 
 But sometimes that ’ s just what it takes to restore a nation ”
