Chapter 3: Heavy Is the Crown Lyrics


[Celestia:]

 Luna, come sit here

 It’s become quite clear

 You’ve let your heart grow far too fond

 [Luna:]

 How can you say this?

 Don’t we deserve bliss?

 Is it a crime to share a bond?

 [Celestia:] You know that is not the way

 [Luna:] Can we never love, never just disobey?

 [Celestia:] Duty takes priority

 [Luna:] But he is a king, the same royalty

 [Celestia:] Bound by his mortality

 [Luna:] That doesn’t matter, at least, not to me

 [Celestia:] But it will

 [Luna:] Even still

 [Both:] You must know that

 [Celestia:]

 Heavy is the crown we wear

 It is the price, the burden we bear

 Stop this or else it will break your heart

 [Luna:]

 Heavy is the crown we wear

 Why must it be, the burden I bear?

 How can I live with a broken heart?

 [Viola solo: Marc v/d Meulen]

 [Sombra:] Why hello my dear, I thought that you had gone

 [Luna:] Yes I did but now we need to talk

 I have been thinking,

 My heart’s been sinking

 and I don’t think we can go on

 [Sombra:]

 What are you saying?

 You must be playing...

 What could have changed, what did I do wrong?

 [Luna:] Please, you do not share the blame

 [Sombra:] Tell me that you’re wrong, that we are still the same

 [Luna:] It’s already killing me

 [Sombra:] Or was it the “queen”, your dear sister’s decree?

 [Luna:] I’ll watch you grow old and gray

 [Sombra:] I don’t have to die, there still might be a way

 [Luna:] But you will

 [Sombra:] Even still

 [Both:] You must know that

 [Sombra:]

 Heavy is the crown we wear

 Why just discard the life we could share?

 Must we flee before eternity?

 [Luna:]

 Heavy is the crown we wear

 Missing the short-lived life that we share

 Left to grieve for all eternity

 [Sombra:]

 Heavy is the crown we wear

 At any cost, I’ll take it and bear

 Luna, I will never let you go…

 [Luna:]

 Heavy is the crown we wear

 That is the cost, the burden I bear,

 Sombra, please, you have to let me go…
