| “ | Have I ever told you how I got my scar? | ” |
–Scar to Ushari, Battle for the Pride Lands | ||
When I Led the Guard is a song sung by Scar, explaining to Ushari how he got his scar.
The story of Scar is told in a flashback scene in which he meets a Strange Lion to lead him to a cobra to give him a scar just like him. This also explains how he lost the roar and destroyed his Lion Guard.
Lyrics[]
- Scar:
- When I was the Lion Guard's fiercest
- I took most patrols on my own
- So when I met this strange lion
- I had no fear of being alone
- He said he had wisdom and power
- And the most powerful should be king
- With help from me and my roar
- He and I could rule everything
- I found his idea intriguing
- Though the most powerful lion was me
- But the strange lion was scheming
- And had a friend I didn't see...
- That's how I got my scar
- When I led the Guard
- The lion would cure the snake's venom
- As long as I did what he said
- But I lost control and enraged
- I roared and destroyed them instead
- I expected to be praised near and far
- For stopping that treacherous thing
- But Mufasa just nicknamed me Scar
- Then I knew that he shouldn't be king
- That's when I became Scar
- When I led the guard
- My first plot for vengeance
- Was spoiled when I lost the Roar
- My second plan later succeeded
- Mufasa was king no more
- If not for that miserable Simba
- I'd have ruled Pride Rock to this day
- But now, it is time
- For Simba and Kion to pay
- That's why I still am Scar
- From when I led the guard
- Oh-oh
- That's why I still am Scar
- And why I'll destroy the guard!
