The Crystal Prince

Verse 1

Born beneath an endless twilight crown

Silver halls and wonder all around

They sang my name across the marble stone

Blessed they said a prince who stands alone

Every face I loved just bloomed and fell

Like falling stars they slipped beyond the spell

I searched the archives down to brittle bone

One truth was carved that I would stand alone

Pre-Chorus

Alicorns endure

Alicorns endure (endure)

Winter settled in my chest

Winter settled in my chest

Chorus

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to weep

Shadow wrapped my skin

Till I was not me

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to weep

Black Star burning bright

Beneath the endless sleep

Post-Chorus

Falling falling falling down

Falling falling falling down

Verse 2

My mother's eyes went quiet in the night

My father's voice grew still beyond the light

The castle echoed hollow with no sound

And something cold and patient gathered round

The sword hung heavy in my magic grasp

I carved my sorrow into every gasp

They called me monster when the white eyes burned

I gave the kingdom everything I'd learned

Pre-Chorus

Alicorns endure

Alicorns endure (endure)

Blame became a hungry flame

Blame became a hungry flame

Chorus

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to weep

Shadow wrapped my skin

Till I was not me

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to weep

Black Star burning bright

Beneath the endless sleep

Post-Chorus

Falling falling falling down

Falling falling falling down

Bridge

Crystal climbing up my hooves so slow

Strip the power strip the dark below

Burning through the shadow choking free

Mirror shows a frightened prince to me

Father's sword falls clattering on tile

Two words whispered through the final mile

I'm sorry (sorry)

I'm sorry (sorry)

Verse 3

A thousand years the crystal held me still

Then moonlight broke the silence and the chill

Vines reclaimed the ruined throne and hall

Nature's taken back it all it all

My journal waits beneath the rotted wood

Early pages wonder family good

Then the ink turns frantic sharp and wild

One drawing left behind a faceless child

Chorus

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to weep

Shadow wrapped my skin

Till I was not me

I forgot how to grieve

I forgot how to weep

Black Star burning bright

Beneath the endless sleep

Outro

I forgot how to grieve

(How to grieve)

I forgot

(Forgot)

I'm sorry

(Sorry)

I forgot
