My Father Made That Shield (If Only The World Was Wide Enough)
For nightmarehunter676: A parody of The World Was Wide Enough from Hamilton. Original lyrics written by Lin Manuel Miranda. No copywrite or creative infringement intended.
Avengers:
One-stand back!
Tony:
There's some things you need to know.
First, it was my fault, I followed them there:
Scott:
Never trust a Stark!
Tony:
He was there with his crew,
They followed him, I was just the guy with the tools ( Had no right):
Avengers:
No one is forgiven!
Cap:
Wait, I saw him, feeling out terrain,
No, don't blame him for the confusion in his brain,
The man was blinded by political pursuits!
Avengers:
If only this could end where no one shoots!
Wait, trust no one!
Tony:
Cap did his duty, always his position,
A man out of time, sticking to the mission,
As for the Winter Soldier, he had no ability,
To resist the code, his mind has that fragility
Bucky:
No excuse!
Tony:
Little did I know at the time-
T'Challa:
How your father and my father died,
Tony:
How my father and your father died,
World:
The Soldier is to blame!
Bucky:
Confession? It's just my lot,
I wish to God I was a terrible shot!
Tony:
One last chance to negotiate,
I'll break my own rules to set the record straight,
Cap:
History doesn't teach you right in its classes,
Yeah, we did what we did to protect the masses,
This is all some twisted, deadly game,
Only want to save him, not me, he'll never be the same,
Only have one chance, then let this end,
I'm sorry, Tony, but he's my friend!
Avengers:
All of this is his fault!
Cap:
Look in his eyes, he's no liar,
It might be his hands, but he's not the one to fire,
Spider-Man:
Count the steps,
They're not stopping!
Tony:
I hear you, I see that, but my mother's memory!
Now all I see is a monster right in front of me-
If it were you, could you just let it be?
My father made that shield, don't you see?
Your first friend but my enemy!
Give me back the shield, my father's legacy!
If I kill you, what about his legacy?
I'm too blinded by my grief to see,
That I'm about to end America's symphony,
You made the difference,
For a patriot, you were my reference,
Shape up, now I've got to size up,
I'd rather die than give up.
Bucky:
Oh God, I can see the other side,
I remember all the one's that died,
I sent them all to the other side,
They're waiting for me on the other side,...
Cap:
I strike him, mad blows to the ribs,
What have I done?! Never make amends,
I guess its time to ship out again...
Scarlet Witch:
It's my fault there's wailing in Wakanda's streets...
Bucky:
It always ends in a fight, I'd better hide...
T'Challa:
It was our mutual enemy that caused this divide,
I'm done being consumed with hate!
And choosing sides between sinners and saints,
Now I'll help the victim find peace,
And my enemy's obliterate,
They're coming to kill him?
Let them try!
Bucky:
I survived, but let me pay for it,
I still have to pay for it...
I'm the villain of this story...
Cap:
I should have told you, Tony,
I should have told you,
If only the World was wide enough...
