Survivors of the Siege - Alone (Celestia)

She sits alone, atop her throne,
Burdened by her reign.
Changes come as ages pass,
Just memories remain.

And even those begin to fade
Further from her grasp.
It's only natural.
Nothing's meant to last.

And yet despite the years,
She holds an ageless grace.
Life and beauty, untouched by time,
The envy of her race.

They know not
The tears she's had to hide.
They know not
That heartbreak grows with time.

Faces are replaced by tombs;
It seems like more each day.
And the one who'd understand's
The one she locked away.
The one she locked away...

A crack appears. She holds her tears
And smiles away her woe.
Her mask, crafted through years,
She heals. Her loss, they'll never know.

Each year's the same. They celebrate
The rising of the Sun.
Ignorant, she only feels
Ashamed of what she's done.

The monster she once fought.
The sister they forgot.
Facts are marred by time
As fairytales they're taught.

And yet despite the years,
She holds an ageless grace.
Life and beauty, untouched by time,
The envy of her race.

They know not
The tears she's had to hide.
They know not
That heartbreak grows with time.

Faces are replaced by tombs;
It seems like more each day.
And the one who'd understand's
The one she locked away.

Each year she wonders
If she did what's right.
Each year she ponders,
Every single night.
The actions she took,
The burden she bears
And what would happen
If she wasn't there.

And yet despite the years,
She holds an ageless grace.
Life and beauty, untouched by time,
The envy of her race.

They know not
The tears she's had to hide.
They know not
That heartbreak grows with time.

Faces are replaced by tombs;
It seems like more each day.
And the one who'd understand's
The one she locked away.
The one she locked away...
