Long Live the Queen

lyrics

This is me now. This will be me, then.
This is my ground, my Earth, my soil. My foundation.
This is all I hoped for. You see, all I ever wanted
Was to find my solace. Was to find my place... in the world

I walk with confidence. A new stride in my step.
A pride I've never felt. A movement I'm unfamiliar with.
Take me, humble me, drag me down with this gravity.
O chastity. O, illusive wide open.

Here I place my flag. Here, I sing my truths
I've seen the end of my legacy, and I still hurt from the abuse
Here, I finally admit that my choices may not have been keen
But the weight at the top of my body, my crown, was my price for becoming queen

This house. That I built with my own hands.
Stands proud and strong and able.
This house. Containing all I am, all my life.
The joy on your faces confirms that what I've done was right

My house. This house I'll leave behind when I'm gone
O, you are love. O, you never let me drown
My house. Disillusions and self-love
I dance within your walls. Just me without air. Without boundaries.
You're free! The War is Over! The day is ours!
Lift your voices and cry out the praise!
Long Live The Queen! Long Live the Queen!
May her reign last forever!
