Strong Pride - Kiara’s Alternate AI Villain Song (“Lion King”)

Story: What if Kiara did find out that Kovu had been sent to kill Simba? Betrayed and feeling hate from the Outsiders, she snaps and her innocence shatters. She decides that the Pride Lands need a new order. Art credit: https://www.deviantart.com/dracoaweso... Lyrics: [Intro] [Verse 1] Outsiders cannot be trusted, no They only seek to steal the throne I gave Zira my paw, but she chose To fall into rocky river fathoms below I thought we’d bridge the gap, Thought that we would come together at last But unity is a lie when you cut them slack, And they dig their claws into your back [Pre-Chorus 1] I thought I could depend on them, But they bare teeth with hatred The Outsiders won’t play nice, They scream in treachery, paws red [Chorus] A strong pride we need to be, Proud kingdom free No more weakness, no more doubt We are taking the war to filthy ground Filthy ground, tainted hearts, Outsiders run near and far We will cleanse this land Until only the strongest pride stands [Verse 2] I was a naive little cub, Thinking I could solve it all Didn’t see the tree Couldn’t be climbed, too tall So I tried breaking down the walls No games, no lies, Just the fire in my opened eyes I am no longer blind [Pre-Chorus 2] Trust is earned not given Loyalty is paid in more than love If the Outsiders won’t pay the price, They will pay in blood [Chorus] A strong pride we need to be, Proud kingdom free No more weakness, no more doubt We are taking the war to filthy ground Filthy ground, tainted hearts, Outsiders run near and far We will cleanse this land Until only the strongest pride stands [Bridge] I even gave Kovu a chance, Fell into his deep dark eyes But with every chance I gave, He simply chose to turn aside Even if he claims he didn’t, I know better, now I see through the lies He tried to murder my kin! My father, my king! How can I trust him When he hides his fangs? [Final Chorus] A strong pride we are now Proud kingdom, we never bow No more mingling, no more doubt We are winning the war on blood-stained ground Filthy hearts, tainted and evil hearts, Outsiders flee from me, near and far We will cleanse this land… Until only the strongest pride stands [Outro] #villainsong #kiara #lionking
