Crown Prince by Adam WarRock Lyrics
[Zuko]
For so long, all I've wanted was for you to love me
To accept me
I thought it was my honor that i wanted
But really, I was just trying to please you
You, my father
Who banished me just for talking out of turn
My father, who challenged me, a thirteen year-old boy
To an Agni-Kai
How can you possibly justify a duel with a child?
[Fire Lord]
It was to teach you respect
[Zuko]
It was cruel and it was wrong
[Fire Lord]
Then you have learned nothing
[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
Challenged to the Agni Kai for speaking my mind
Banished, hurt my pride now it's easy to find
All that anger inside translates into fire
And the scar next to my eye
It only raises it higher
With a psychotic sister as a fire bending prodigy
A father who didn't care much about me
A mother who protected me
An uncle who raised me
With a family like this
No wonder everyone may think that i'm crazy
Dual broadswords blue spirit
Who travels village to village
Attacking any who come near
With any intention to do ill towards the innocents
Back to the military meeting this all started with
A little bit good a little bit bad
Still a little confused
A little bit crazy and a little bit sad
Cause I went from a little kid
To a prince on the outskirts with my dad
You'd be a little bit angry too
If you had the life I had
[Chorus] X 2
Used to call me prince
When you bowed before me
Call me a failure
Dad you don't know me
Call me a bender from the great fire nation
And may any find defeat if they ever
Choose to oppose me
[Verse 2]
See that comet in the sky?
That's my great grandfather's name
The man who took the fire nation to war with an aim
He murdered all the dragons
Now the great fire nation is feared
Throughout the kingdoms and tribes all the same
See that statue in the square?
That's my other great grandfather
An avatar who ruled the dragons proudly
Who tried to spread peace
And do good in the world
And now ask yourself if either
Know a thing about me
Because the fire burns brightly
From my white knuckle fist
And it burns even brighter
With this rage and anger (yeah)
But the fire can be beautiful
The dragon showed me this
Because it makes all of life around us
From here on out
I decide what my destiny is
Not my father
Not my uncle
Not a birth right or a scar
And so I dropped that
Crown prince title
Listen to this
And I'm here to teach fire to the Avatar
[Chorus] X 2
Used to call me prince
When you bowed before me
Call me a failure
Dad you don't know me
Call me a bender from the great fire nation
And may any find defeat if they ever
Choose to oppose me
What
For so long, all I've wanted was for you to love me
