his crown

"A thousand miles away and a million years ago
I was a prince, born with a light
My robes were heavy on my shoulders
My crown fell down around my ears
I had it all

Then they ate my heart out of my chest
I was smothered by darkness
I fell deeper,
I fell darker,
Into their pit."

What happened to me?
Can anybody hear me?
How did I get here?

"Every once in a while
I let my guard down
I let the prince back out
I need to protect him, I need to preserve him.
I can't let anybody hurt him again

So that one day
When his crown fits just right
He can become a king
And light a fire through the darkness."

Now I wonder through the void
I can't remember who I'm looking for
All I know is
He's calling my name
And I can't respond

But I know he had enough fire for the both of us.
