The Black Star

Intro

(I'm sorry)

(I'm sorry)

Verse 1

Cradled in candlelight my mother sang my name

Blessed they called me

Silver bells and feathered crowns

The whole kingdom bowed

Then the seasons stopped for me

Their mirrors kept on aging

Pre-Chorus

I watched them wither like paper lanterns

Fading one by one

I read every book in the tower

Alicorns endure

Chorus

So I buried my sorrow in shadow

Turned my face away

Now the Black Star walks these halls

And the Black Star has no name

Post-Chorus

No name

No name

Burn it all away

Verse 2

Father's blade felt lighter than my grief

Shadow poured from my crown

Eyes like coals gone white

They all ran from me

By nightfall my home knelt down

A kingdom made of fear

Pre-Chorus

Then the rage drained out and left me standing

Blood along the steel

Four heroes broke the doors wide open

Holding relics I knew well

Chorus

So I buried my sorrow in shadow

Turned my face away

Now the Black Star walks these halls

And the Black Star has no name

Post-Chorus

No name

No name

Burn it all away

Bridge

Crystal crawled up my legs

It stripped the dark from my soul

I saw my own reflection

Just a frightened prince

Sword fell

I whispered

I'm sorry

Breakdown

A thousand years

A thousand years

Vines choke the throne

Nobody calls my name

Nobody calls my name

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I buried my sorrow in shadow

Turned my face away

Now the Black Star walks these halls

And the Black Star has no name

Post-Chorus

No name

No name

Burn it all away

Outro

My journal waited under rotted wood

Wonder

Family

Dreams

Then a frantic hand

A figure with no face

Glowing white in living dark

And one trembling line

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to grieve
