Music: Green Day
I'm the one who sits above
The Princess of Equestria
Upon the throne, Everypony knows
This kingdom is mine alone
'Cause I always know what's best
I'm prepared for any test
A changeling queen, chaos deity
Not a problem as you can see
'Cause they know they can trust me
I'm the princess' appointee
Though I know you disagree
My subjects cheer for me
Dancing at the royal ball
Banquets in the palace hall
the Dukes and Lords
Though I do get bored
Of the same old Knights and their swords
Maybe I should run away
Take a break for just a day
To run and prance
fall down in the grass
Like the days we would in the past
But they all rely on me
I'm the princess' appointee
Though I know you disagree
Equestria needs me
(Pt. II = Heavy is the crown)
In the middle of the town by the library
There's a bench behind the bushes where I used to read
I pass it most every day
I know Things are always easy when you're young they say
Well I wish that they had told me that way back in the day
I guess I shouldn't complain
Heavy is the crown
On the head of the princess who wears it
No one knows the weight I hold
Heavy is the crown
Takes a toll but no one else can bear it
In the end alone and cold
I saw a young mare run away from home
She ended up scared out in the woods alone
And so I thought I should help
She didn't say much but she laughed when she spoke
"you always were a fool" then she vanished in smoke.
Left in the dark by myself
Heavy is the crown
On the head of the princess who wears it
No one knows the weight I hold
Heavy is the crown
Takes a toll but no one else can bear it
In the end alone and cold
(Pt. III = Whos' the Princess)
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess - you know I am
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess - you know I am
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess - you know I am
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess yes I am
Who's the princess - you know I am
Yes I am
All you ponies are beneath me
Bow your heads before royalty
Let the streets ring out my name
Come and see the riches and fame
Remember that it's me who'll raise the sun
The one who keeps the peace for everyone
So don't forget that I'm the one you love
The princess of Equestria
Know you disagree
But they all rely on me
I know you disagree
The princess' appointee
Yes I am
Yes I am
Yes I am
Yes I am
Yes I am
(Pt. IV = Dearest Starlight)
Oh dearest Starlight say are you still there?
I need a word with you my most entrusted mare
Am I the regent or a royal fraud
I thought I did what's best, but seems my logic's flawed
Oh Starswirl please can you tell me what's wrong?
Up in my head where all my thoughts can't get along
They say I'm perfect or was that just me
In any case, it's not like me to up and leave
(Pt. V = Not This Time)
To rule, or yet to lead
By right, or committee
This crown, does have it's sway
"long live!", or so they say
And I, horrified
So many years I've served this lie
No more, take this away
My throne, I abdicate
Return, I am a ghost
To find, the heart l lost
And I, horrified
So many years I've served this lie
And I, justified
The hurt I've caused all of this time
But not this time
-
Ashamed and terrified, I gave into my fear
Have I forgotten who I was
Would my friends recognise my face if they were here?
The princess of Equestri-
-AAAA
The princess
The princess
The princess
Of Equestria!
