The Weight of the Crown (PTS) - Lyrics

Being royal is not all that it seems
There's a cost to be a ruler supreme
A heavy burden rests atop our brow
It demands of us a sacred vow
Twilight now thou must understand
The will of the ponies and the way of the land
Tis not enough to know great magic
This must we teach
This thou shalt learn
Now it's thy turn

The weight of the crown
Demands our judgement
The weight of the crown
Demands our time
The weight of the crown
Means acting selfless
The weight of the crown
Their fate in our hooves

We have faced the demons within
All harmful urges to fight and win
A princess is not measured by her power and greed
Protecting the ponies is her only creed
Twilight now thou must understand
The will of the ponies and the way of the land
Tis not enough to know great magic
We are to serve
Not to be served
We are to serve

The weight of the crown
Demands our patience
The weight of the crown
Demands we lead
The weight of the crown
Can oft be tiresome
The weight of the crown
Is ours alone

With love we rule
We stand as champions
For peace and light
Without which we could not live, forgive
The years we took from greed and hate
We paid the price
So listen now, and learn this well
Or thou wilt fail

The weight of the crown
Demands our judgement
The weight of the crown
Demands we lead
The weight of the crown
Demands our patience
The weight of the crown
Demands our time

We are a ray of hope in darkness
We are an answer to those in need
We are a teacher to those souls wanting
We carry ourselves with humility

The weight of the crown
Demands our judgement
The weight of the crown
Demands we lead
The weight of the crown
Demands our patience
The weight of the crown
Demands our time
The weight of the crown
The weight of the crown
