The Lyrics
Having gotten more than halfway through "My Hero Academia Month", we now come to Fumikage Tokoyami, alias "Tsukuyomi". One of the few animal-like characters in the series, his Quirk "Dark Shadow" spawns a shadowy being with immense strength, which is more powerful in the dark but harder to control. Enjoy the parody! DKTOS?
From this darkness so sublime,
There’s a new hero in town,
Given help from teachers at UA,
And friends right by my side.
Clothes of black, mind so cold,
I look so fearsome.
I’m Tokoyami, fear my Quirk;
Dark Shadow walks again!
[evil laughter, tempo kicks up]
You see the grit in my eyes,
The darkness fast approaching,
You villains aren’t so wise,
Already a statistic
As you ply sinful trades,
Your endeavors hopeless
As Dark Shadow takes the high road,
You know that you will die!
[x2]
Mess with me, and you’ll know
How rough, how tough my shadow is!
Ow!
Oh!
Stand against the law
And you won’t stand a chance.
Just surrender to
This bird who’s dressed in black!
Put your hands up,
Give up the fight
As Dark Shadow takes the high road
When we both come out at night.
[x2]
Mess with me, and you’ll know
How rough, how tough my shadow is!
You have lost your way,
Our force too mighty,
Man to bird, I bet you fall,
I bet you fall.
We stalk at night,
Darkness surrounds you,
The Heroes’ Hour has finally come.
[guitar solo]
Oh yeah!
Ruthless through and through,
The villains fall before us,
Death the only answer
To those who mess with us.
So beware the night
If you’re a villain,
‘Cause Dark Shadow takes the high road,
And we will see you fall!
[x2]
Mess with me, and you’ll know
How rough, how tough my shadow is!
There’s a new hero in town,
Given help from teachers at UA,
And friends right by my side.
Clothes of black, mind so cold,
I look so fearsome.
I’m Tokoyami, fear my Quirk;
Dark Shadow walks again!
[evil laughter, tempo kicks up]
You see the grit in my eyes,
The darkness fast approaching,
You villains aren’t so wise,
Already a statistic
As you ply sinful trades,
Your endeavors hopeless
As Dark Shadow takes the high road,
You know that you will die!
[x2]
Mess with me, and you’ll know
How rough, how tough my shadow is!
Ow!
Oh!
Stand against the law
And you won’t stand a chance.
Just surrender to
This bird who’s dressed in black!
Put your hands up,
Give up the fight
As Dark Shadow takes the high road
When we both come out at night.
[x2]
Mess with me, and you’ll know
How rough, how tough my shadow is!
You have lost your way,
Our force too mighty,
Man to bird, I bet you fall,
I bet you fall.
We stalk at night,
Darkness surrounds you,
The Heroes’ Hour has finally come.
[guitar solo]
Oh yeah!
Ruthless through and through,
The villains fall before us,
Death the only answer
To those who mess with us.
So beware the night
If you’re a villain,
‘Cause Dark Shadow takes the high road,
And we will see you fall!
[x2]
Mess with me, and you’ll know
How rough, how tough my shadow is!
