“Heavy on the heart, though light on the head”
I felt that... and it was deep
I clicked because the picture looked so beautiful and so is the song.
My sister sees you EVERYWHERE ...
OMG UR ON MYSTIC MESSENGER..AND EVEN HERE WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLL???? DUDE UR A GIRL RIGHT
Morgan Lemons Hi again!
Morgan Lemons hello again
Morgan Lemons well hello again my lemon friend
*"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown"*
- Hamlet
I thought it was Helmet
It is easy to say that becoming a ruler is both a blessing and a curse. Especially to those born into it.
True, sadly.
yes it is
It reminds me of an anime I just finished call Soredemo Sekai wa Utskushii where a princess has to marry the Sun King who has control over most of the world and they learn to fall in love with each other. It's so lovely. I'm sad I finished it.
If their not the corrupted kind in which it's only a blessing cus they don't care about their people
Kit Kat Zhang thx, I'll take a look at that anime ^_^
The be a leader is to be a slave. A slave to your people. A slave to their ell-being. Though your chains may be wrought of finest gold, they are chains all the same.
Joey Fredrickson your last sentence is really poetic
That hit me deep bro.
Mood
I feel sorry for her... Somehow I feel like I want to help... (though it's not really real)
Thats deep
"They know and they forgive me, doing more than I require" that was deep and it kinda hurt knowing someone will die just for you to live.
Just an FYI, the song is based on the Arrows of the Queen trilogy by Mercedes Lackey. Have a look at the song Battle Dawn, which is a follow-up to this one.
well, not necessarily for you but for the people. The queen serves the people, and by serving her they serve the people too
I feel like this song would fit well with a picture of a hand holding a crown that has dried blood on it.
Dim lighting, too, possibly with fire in a blurred background.
art of all of that in one picture needs to be done.
CONSIDER IT DONE
and with chain
God im need it
me: aww such a cute song
song: *_SO I MUST SEND MY DEAREST FRIENDS TO DANGER AND TO DIE_*
me: *falls off of chair*
O_O
Somehow, the very lyrics played as I read the comment
Coincidence?
/I think not/
It's so funny and yet so very sad
Did you not hear the lyrics before that? The song's about a queen's suffering.
Secret . . M course not. I never heard this song before the first time I listened to it.
The slave and Queen, though of different states, each walk a similar path.
The slave works in physical labors, walking in chains of brass
The Queen works in labors of the mind, her chains of glimmering gold
Their paths, different as they seem, are more alike than one would think
They work to please, neither truly happy with what they do, but bound to never go
They walk down different paths, though both are bound in chains
While hers of gold and his are brass, they’re chains all the same
Edit: No I’m not actually supporting monarchs and dictators and comparing them to slaves, this poem (like the song) is meant to be referenced to an ideal leader, one who actually cares about the people they lead and sacrifice for them.
beautiful poetry
Except that the people made the ruling class's lives exceptionally comfortable in exchange for their protection. Slaves? Not as much
@@zstrebler1234 Comfort only works for aiding those who are stable. It does not matter how amazing their food, bed or clothing is when their pain is in the mind. When you suffer mentally no matter how luxurious your life is, it is meaningless if it is your mind that suffers. Hence the "chains of glimmering gold". A slave all the same, just different paths of suffering.
So true that is
@@zstrebler1234 It was luxuries like air conditioning that brought down the Roman Empire. With air conditioning their windows were shut, they couldn't hear the barbarians coming.
-Garrison Keillor
is it just me or did this take a dark ass turn like halfway through
Yes, yes it did.
It harbors the realities of being a leader and the whole song entails that tune. A king, queen, bishop, priest, whomever - any of the truly honest and good - all suffer from the pains of those they serve. Furthermore, they are required to make sacrifices that may come at great personal cost.
Mind you, its not all bad but the nature of the song focuses on the melancholy of a ruler.
+C Vernon yeah i get that i'm just saying it seems quite sad but happy until about halfway through, then BAM: death.
I get what it's about and stuff tho
Pretty much what happens from perspectives like hers. She initially only sees the good but once she gets the crown she realizes the bad as well. I don't know the series it comes from (according to another commenter) but I can imagine it goes something like that.
its like stars and pretty crap and then BAM! death. death everywhere.
Cost of the Crown - Mercedes Lackey
The stars are very beautiful, above the palace walls
They shine with equal splendour; still above far humbler halls
I watch them from my window, but their bright entrancing glow
Reminds me of the freedom I gave up so long ago
The royal circlet of bright and gold rests lightly on my brow
I once thought only of the rights this circlet would endow
But once I took the crown to which I had been schooled and bred
I found it heavy on the heart, though light upon the head
Although i am the head of state, in truth i am the least
The true Queen knows her people fed, before she sits to feast
The good Queen knows her people safe, before she takes her rest
Thinks twice and thrice and yet again, before she makes request
for they are all my children, all, that i swore to defend
It is my duty to become both Queen and trusted friend
And of my children high and low, from beggar to above
The dearest are my Heralds, who return my care with love
The dearest are my Heralds, swift to spring to my command
Who give me aid and fellowship, who always understand
That land and people first have needs that I may not deny
So i must send my dearest friends to danger, and to die
A friend, a love, a child, it matters not, I know indeed
That i must sacrifice them all if there should be the need
They know, and they forgive me doing more than I require
With willing minds and loving hearts go straight to grasp the fire
These tears that burn my eyes are all the tears the Queen can't Shed
The tears I weep in silence as i mourn my Heralds dead
Oh gods that dwell beyond the stars, if you can hear my cry
And if you have compassion, let me send no more to die
Thanks to this i realize the dark turn ;-;
thanks!
Literally crying right now. This is the first time I've heard this song and I can only think this must be how kings and queens of old felt.
Or at least the good ones.
Die Rolle des Kaisers ist undankbar
James Samson the good ones at least
James Samson
The ones with morally good motives inside them
I actually googled exactly that and I found nothing wrote If you can find a book or something id be more than happy
I sang this at a talent show and won!! I absolutely love the song and listen to it almost everyday! It's perfectly Nightcored!
Congratulations! What was the prize? xD
A hug and a sheet of paper that only said Congratulations....
+M Leners Eh, I expected something bigger than that lol ... But look on the bright side, that "Congratulations" Certificate paper will remind people of your win :D
M Leners where did you find the instrumental version?
M Leners same i did too
Truly what it is like to be a leader. An alpha.
Ali Penn your comment made me think of aphmau
Not my intention but eeeeyyyyyyy Aphmau!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tehya_lol me too😃
Ali Penn Are you thinking of the first season of Minecraft Diaries too?
Eclipse I wasn't thinking of Aphmau at all when I originally wrote this honestly
A story that would fit this
There was a little girl. She was raised to be the next ruler of the kingdom... Her parents adopted her as a baby so that they could raise her as the next queen. Her parents always told her to hide her angelic wings and never tell anyone about being half angel. She hid that from the world and with her angelic wings and abilities she was able to see her friends die one by one...
She didn't want to see them die. She was too scared to do anything so she would just watch them die over and over again...(When her parents died she was left with the task of becoming the next queen)...
She had a really close friend(a herald) who she told about her angelic wings and abilities. Her close friend soon became her secret lover and he ended up dying. She found out soon after his death that she was pregnant with his child and later had a beautiful daughter with angelic wings...
She was very upset and didn't want to send anyone else to die... She had begged her secret lover not to go out and get himself killed but he did it all to protect her...
She secretly cries tears for her lost lover and a trusted herald he was...
She knew that her citizens of her Kingdom came first and her secret lover knew this too...
Her daughter was to be the next queen and suffer the same as her mother once did...
... Losing so many friends and to never see them again...
beautiful
I cried during the video, them your comment made me cry again
Power is something that have very strong influence. You know how much people fought in the past to become the ruler of everything. But once you have a sense of what a ruler have to go though, you lose interest in it. But then it's too late to turn around, so you must make sacrifices, including sending people whom you love/trusted/are loyal to you to war. You cry when you hear the worst, and you can do almost nothing for them.
I wrote this because my grandfather was a
leader in war and experienced pretty much what I just said. I wish he lived a happy afterlife in heaven. :.(
whats his name and what war?❤Much love!❤❤🇺🇸
History prooves that few people in power actually cares for the people first. If it weren't true then wars would occur a lot less.
'And if you have compassion, let me send no more to die'
I'm just crying right now. This song is beautiful yet so emotional ;-;
It takes a great heart and bravery to be a leader so sad 😭 it makes you feel her so emotional
*should take
... I stand with Achilles on the matter of sending others to die at war... A king should fight his own battles, on the battlefield... One sees it all the time, though, on the battlefield of love... A word to the wise; never leave your queen unguarded. You don't know when her last moment may come... Take it from someone who knows for themselves, never leave your love unaided... Or you'll lose them on the battlefield...
Edit;
But, for that matter... It's driving me crazy, just seeing what's going on around us, and feeling powerless to stop it... Even if I've lost my queen, I don't have a broken spirit just yet... But I guess I just... Fear the wrath I might unleash from within, and what it'll mean to the others were their lives are concerned... So I remain as calm as possible... Usually... But it's a proven fact, no-one else can replace my Brea... I promised her, I'd love her beyond the grave, and I meant it. I was paired up with her, after all...
Archie Linke I felt that
I understand completely, I have almost lost my own Princess by her own hands. But, I have yet to loose her completely, and I shall not loose her not on this battlefield, I intend on making her my Queen when we are both old enough. I have made the same promise to love her till death do us part, and if death takes one of us, then the one who is alive will love the other even after death, for we shall meet again someday in a place where war does not exist. I also stand wih Achilles on the terms of King/Queen's fighting there own wars, but i also think your Queen/King's should not have to bear seeing there king/Queen in a war with him or herself, and a queen2/King will do whatever it takes to fight to help there King/Queen wether it be on the battlefield of love or of war.
This is what good kings and queens had to go trough daily, they deserve the highest respect as they did what very few can do, give up their own freedom for the people and all the sacrifices that will have to be done. It truly is a blessing and a curse to rule, being chained down to it with golden chains....how sad.
'and if you have compassion, let me send no more to die'
beautiful
This is an amazing song, so beautiful and shows that being royalty isn't as glamorous as it seems
I'm creating a story and I'm trying to make the characters more in depth, i was looking for a song to use as inspiration for a specific character, THIS SONG IS PERFECT.
A Random Hooky Nerd same here it fits someone somewhere I know OMG I KNOW WHO YES I know now
Wow same
Tell me what it's called, I want to read it!
yeah me too 2020 listening to this cuz of an flashback arc
@@boldbayr1995 what was it
Seen the PMV for this song? It's as heartbreaking as _Lullaby for a Princess_.
Also, props to Mercedes Lackey for writing the Valdemar books that inspired the song.
I think Lullaby for a Princess was more heartbreaking. But the PMV was really good too.
what about lullaby for a princess luna's reply?
The stars are very beautiful, above the castle walls,
They shine with equal splendor, still above for humbler halls.
I watch them from my window, but their bright and entrancing glow,
Reminds me of the freedom I gave up so long ago.
The royal circlet of bright gold rests lightly on my brow,
I once thought only of the rights this circlet would endow.
But once I took the crown, to which I had been schooled and bred,
I found it heavy on the heart, though light upon the head.
Although I am the head of state, the truth is I am least,
The true queen knows her people fed, before she sits to feast.
The good queen knows her people safe, before she takes her rest,
Thinks twice and thrice and yet again, before she makes request.
For they are all my children, which I swore to defend,
It is my duty to become both queen and trusted friend.
And love my children high and low, from beggar and above,
The dearest are my Heralds, who return my care with love.
The dearest are my Heralds, swift to spring to my command,
Who give me aid and fellowship, who always understand.
That land and people first have needs that I may not deny,
So I must send my dearest friends, to danger and to die.
A friend, A love, A child, it matters not, I know indeed,
That I must sacrifice them all if there should be a need.
They know and they forgive me, doing more than I require,
With willing minds and loving hearts, they go to grasp the fire.
These tears that burn my eyes are all the tears the queen can’t shed,
The tears I weep in silence, as I mourn my Heralds dead.
Oh gods that dwell beyond the stars, if you can hear my cry,
And if you have compassion, let me send no more to die.
Loren Gray thank you!!!
theres a small mistake in the 4th verse/paragraph/idontknow(stanza thanks kitt) "For they are all my children, which I swore to defend," should be "For they are all my children, all that I swore to defend,"
and a couple other words but im just gonna leave them ;)
a BIG thanks for this
Loren Gray 3
cost of the crown is one of my favorite songs to sing at a Filk Circle, this is the first time I've heard it as a Nightcore I think you did a good job
Thanks, I think this could've improved though.
My mother's friend Terri sang this for me at a Filk we had one time. I don't think I've ever cried in front of her, but I thought of a story I had written about my friends when she sang this... And then i looked for this and I'm still crying
Emem no
+CoMANDer 16 ???
Emem no you couldn't have done better it's one of the most beautiful nightcores I've ever heard
Aphmau and Princess Celestia
Brilliant and so very reminiscent of our own monarchy,Her Majesty . Despite the backlash from the misguided she continues on and does so much...they haven't a clue. Sworn by oath to serve her, her successors, and her generals.
This is top tier Magi fanart.
I wish this were on itunes - it's such a pretty song that I could listen to it all day, and I'd love to see it on my ipod.
I can give you a link to a website I use to convert this into a MP3 file that you can download, I normally download to my laptop then upload to my phone (I used to do this with my ipod but it broke, RIP lily she was an amazing ipod).
www.vidtomp3.com
Hope this helps! It's easier for me then downloading a bunch of music apps hoping to have the ones I like, so this website helps out a lot with that problem!
oh my god you just gave me the key to happiness! so many songs on youtube I've wanted to put on my ipod - I've tried for years to do something like this! Thank you so much :D
Not a problem! I'm glad to help out, plus it's better then downloading 20+ music apps that require WiFi and take up space when you can just download the song and upload to your device of choice.
Isn't English a such beautiful language? For those non-native speakers reading this, how would you have described how English sounds before you learnt to speak it?
I don't know, I've spoken English for three quarters of my life, I really can't remember how it sounded before I learnt it...
Inky Scrolls Strange. But then, i was quite small so all foreign languages sounded strange.
for me at liest it kinda sounded like a mix of light french and some sort of wierd spanish accent.
to be honest i wasnt that compelled to learn the language but my parents kinda forced me to. so yea...
Inky Scrolls tbh ive gotten so used to english that i cant even remembered what it sounded like when i coulndt understand it
I've spoken English my whole life.😎😎😎😎
Ah the Heralds! I love the book series the song is from. Wonderfully nightcored.
I honestly think I could've improved this Nightcore, but thanks :)
Heather Stevens whats the series it's from??
Angela'sSoRandom the song is from a book series by Mercedes Lackey. And honestly it's been a while since I read all the books set in Vladimar so I can't tell you which trilogy set its from. All the books are great though. And the music sets that go with them are all worth the listen as well.
Heather Stevens ok. ill have to look it up then. thank you
Angela'sSoRandom no problem☺️ I always love spreading the word about good reading material
I swear every time i hear this song,i get sadder and sadder and my heart gets heavier
This song inspired a character in a book Im writing! Thanks, I love this nightcore!
Don't thank me; I'm the one who should be thanking YOU xD Thanks!
A rare gem of nightcores
OMG I love this song! I can't stop listening to it!💙💜💙💜
No matter how many times I listen to this song, it always give me the chills.
So beautiful. It bought tears to my eyes. Seriously this is one of the best nightcored music ever. I just can't stop listening to it.
agreed wish you well i know im late❤
Somehow I keep coming back to listen to this song
The stars are very beautiful above the palace walls
They shine with equal splendor still above far humbler halls
I watch them from my window, but their bright, entrancing glow
Reminds me of the freedom I gave up so long ago
The royal circlet of bright gold rests lightly on my brow

The good Queen knows her people safe, before she takes her rest
Thinks twice and thrice and yet again, before she makes request
For they are all my children, all that I swore to defend

And of my children high and low, from beggar to above
The dearest are my Heralds, who return my care with love

That land and people first have needs that I may not deny-
So I must send my dearest friends to danger-and to die

O Gods that dwell beyond the stars, if you can hear my cry-
And if you have compassion-let me send no more to die!
Your welcome 😄
Crabbsssss I'm in awe at this song ;-;
Soo beautiful
Thanks ^^ As a Nightcore, this could've been improved though.
I've recently become addicted to the TV show Reign and this is the perfect song for Mark Stuart, Queen of Scots
I can't stop listening to this song. I love it! It remembers me of one of my characters
I love this song I could listen to it for hours there's just something about it💕❤
this should be a disney princess song
i get chills every time i hear it
I don't think it should ... It's just that, I think the song would be a little dark for kids. The song has a serious message that a child wouldn't get.
But that's just my opinion. I respect yours :)
my feelings are mutual.
while kids might not get it it could be used in an adult princess Disney movie like a new take for teens growing up with Disney, maybe PGthirteen or something
+snuggly face I agree, it should be PG13.
good point, though it aint disney, disney dont roll that way, maybe a smaller company might bre interested in incorperating this song
+snuggly face I'd be more with snuggly face on this one, Intsrumentality. True, Disney doesn't work that way. But it WOULD be nice if they made something like that.
If anything it doesn't have to be Disney to do it.
Uploaded six years ago, but I only stumbled upon it now. Beautiful song and lyrics. I am glad I can add it to my list
this gives off✨ medieval vibes✨
ive never heard this before, but i love it already.
I love this picture ☺
this is one of the best nightcore i have ever herd and i have been listening to nightcore for years
Thanks!
3 years later and still listening to this masterpiece
I AM ADDICTED HELP!!!
The cure will be found in ten years.
Until then, SUFFER!!! xD
NOOOOOOOOOOO
LavenderPlays I feel ya
i know...
Emem, I burned the cure research.
this song was just so touching, the pain of the queens who had lived..
I love this song but is it wrong that this song reminds me of Thorin from the Hobbit?
Nah, it's good. We all have our different perspectives ^^
Do I see in you... another Hobbit fan??? 0.0
+Anna Banana I'm a hobbit fan lol I've watched and read all the Hobbit books and movies xD
YASSS!! :D :D :D
Lord of the Rings as well?
+Anna Banana It's been a while since I've watched and read Lord of the Rings (I dunno where that big book went xD). But yep.
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
i knew this sounded familiar! Mercedes lackey is awesome!
Oh my god I've been looking for this song for so long! finally!
Blessing+curse=being in a Royal Family
heard music 50% fell asleep (I start 1 Nightcore song and start autoplay) then start this song and I woke up. really good work you've made with this version of the song
It's really describe princess Celestria!! Love the song!😍😍
Eeyup ^^
First time hearing this song. It's pretty & makes alot of sense, also a reason I'm better off as a Lone wolf.
*"Heavy is the head that wears the Crown."*
Not sure how I found this or why it took so frign long to get here, but damn....what a beautiful song! Now I just need to find a list/station full of this style....
I love this song, the pic is very fitting
It fits some of my Ocs
This song is so... mesmerizing. Its..like I can't ..look away...and I can't.stop.listening....😶
I feel like you could make this about a queen justifying that she sent her son out into the war, probably as a general and not a soldier but still
You are not that far away. The song is based of the Valdemar series of book. In valdemar there's an order of people, the Heralds that serve the kingdom and the Queen, herself an Herald. Heralds act as warriors, spies and even judge, on behalf of the Queen, but they seldom die of old age because of the sacrifices they must do to keep the common people safe. So most times the Queen must send her heralds to dangerous mission for the good of the kingdom. The herald group is a tightly knot bunch, they are more like a family. So for the Queen it's like sending brothers, sisters, sons and daughter to die.
I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. 😍😍😍
this is one of my top three nightcore videos.
Wow, really big thanks!
Emem no problem. you deserve the praise. keep up the good work.
Over a year has passed and yet this Nightcore is still of my favorites. Also congrats on 2 million views
The fact that she cares so much already makes her better than most monarchs
Amazing video! also, this sing really reminds you of Celestia? How interesting.
Yup! It does remind me of Celestia! Listen to the lyrics and it sounds a lot like her, don't you think?
Millie_Trina Prower Yes indeed! :)
Bigblujay 97 when she actually did stuff lol ( I actually like Celestia and agree that this song does fit her but in the show she doesn't do anything)
Keyara Hardman And what makes you think she doesn't do anything?
Bigblujay 97 have u seen the show? When twilight came along what has Celestia done?!
WHAT EVEN IS THIS SONG ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! CAN YOU DO MORE PLEASE?!
Sure! I have a similar Nightcore coming up!
Emem Yay thank you sooo much!!. It will be a great graduation gift for me!!😁😄
+Kaoru Hitachiin You're graduating? Congratulations! :D What course are you graduate at; elementary, high school, summer class or college?
If world leaders cared this much about their people, the world would be a much better place.
Why does this remind me so much of Irene? She was a Lord of a village and the Lord of the Phoenix Alliance and had so much pressure on her.
deep, surprisingly deep
Who's watching this amazing song in 2017?
Sapphara K me
Sapphara K me mate!
I am from 2017.
Sapphara K me
2018?
I love this song, it really shows the burden of the crown in her Herlds of Valdinmar series.
In that series you can use the famous Spider-Man saying to describe the secession of the crown and the heralds and a few other groups. If you have power, like magic or any of the gifts powers that makes a herald you gain responsibility after you're trained. They are the special forces in the army that fights to protect, they are the special investigators that solve crimes and all the kings and queens were once heralds as well. If the royal family gets wiped out a high ranking herald is chosen to become the new king or queen.
Make an hour of this. (It's great)
You can always try the loop though xD
This is a beautifully sad song
The stars are very beautiful, above the palace walls,
le stelle sono molto belle, sopra i muri del palazzo
They shine with equal splendour, still above far humbler halls.
loro brillano con lo stesso splendore, ancora al di sopra dei salotti molto più umiliati.
I watch them from my window, but their bright entrancing glow,
le guardo dalla mia finestra, ma il loro splendore entra
Reminds me of the freedom I gave up so long ago.
Mi ricorda la libertà che ho rinunciato tanto tempo fa.
The royal circlet of bright gold rests lightly on my brow,
Il cerchio reale di oro brillante riposa leggermente sulla mia fronte
I once thought only of the rights this circlet would endow.
Una volta pensavo solo ai diritti che questo cerchio avrebbe fornito.
But once I took the crown to which I had been schooled and bred,
Ma una volta ho preso la corona a cui sono stato educato e cresciuta
I found it heavy on the heart, though light upon the head.
l'ho trovata pesante sul cuore, e leggera sulla testa
Although I am the head of state, in truth I am the least,
Anche se sono il capo dello Stato, in verità sono il minimo
The true Queen knows her people fed, before she sits to feast.
La vera regina sa che la sua gente nutre, prima che sieda a festeggiare.
The good Queen knows her people safe, before she takes her rest,
La buona regina conosce la sua gente al sicuro, prima prima di riposare
Thinks twice and thrice and yet again, before she makes request.
Pensa due, tre volte e ancora, prima che faccia richiesta.
For they are all my children, all, that I swore to defend,
Perché sono tutti miei figli, tutti, che ho giurato di difendere
It is my duty to become both Queen and trusted friend-
È mio dovere diventare regina e fidata amica -
And of my children high and low, from beggar to above,
E dei miei figli alti e bassi, dal mendicante e chi è al di sopra
The dearest are my Heralds, who return my care with love.
I miei cari sono i miei araldi, che restituiscono la mia cura con amore.
The dearest are my Heralds, swift to spring to my command.
I miei cari sono i miei araldi, veloci a sorgere al mio comando.
Who give me aid and fellowship, who always understand
Chi mi dà aiuto e compagnia, che sempre capisce
That land and people first have needs that I may not deny-
Quella terra e la gente prima hanno bisogni che non posso negare -
So I must send my dearest friends to danger-and to die.
Quindi devo mandare i miei cari amici al pericolo e morire.
A friend, a love, a child-it matters not, I know indeed,
Un amico, un amore, un bambino - non importa, so davvero
That I must sacrifice them all if there should be the need.
Che devo sacrificarli tutti se ci fosse la necessità.
They know, and they forgive me-doing more than I require,
Lo sanno, e mi perdono, facendo più di quanto richieda
With willing minds and loving hearts go straight to grasp the fire.
Con menti disposte e cuori amorosi andare dritto per afferrare il fuoco.
These tears that burn my eyes are all the tears the Queen can't shed,
Queste lacrime che bruciano gli occhi sono tutte le lacrime che la Regina non può spargere
The tears I weep in silence as I mourn my Heralds dead.
Le lacrime piango in silenzio mentre piango i miei araldi morti.
Oh gods that dwell beyond the stars, if you can hear my cry-
Oh dèi che abitano oltre le stelle, se riesci a sentire il mio grido-
Amd if you have compassion-let me send no more to die!
E se hai compassione, non lasciare che moriremo più.
That really hits the feels...
well then...
that was awesome
I'd forgotten about this song. I'm crying now
It's official I am addicted to this song!! #13YearOldGirl
So tragically beautiful.
I always imagined my Inquisitor from DragonAge Inquisition when I hear this. She always sends her friends, along with herself, into danger for the people of Thedas, and I also think of how she cares for everyone in her Inquisition, but no one truly knows how she feels on the inside.(Except her Kadan(Bull) of course XD) She was also a Trevelyan, a Noble(Human) so she already knew the troubles of power before she became Inquisitor.
This I can see! I love dragon age inquisition. Again I could see it working for the Hero of Fereldan. Especially the human noble. She sends her friends and countless lives to fight the archdemon but they do it knowingly and willing.
OMG I LITERALLY FREAKED OUT WHEN I SAW THIS!!! I love Mercedes Lackey's songs, and nightcore, so..... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
It's not cheap Nightcore, it's lovely. Both the picture and song! ^ ^
Really?? As a newbie months back, I kinda made this too quickly and didn't really took time like other ones. But thanks!
Critical hit... straight to the feels...
All I can think is- Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem
I’m also a fan of that
JESUS this was AMAZING!
to be a queen .............
u must give up freedom
thank you so much for making this. you've mixed two of my favorite genres of music. I never thought anyone would do this. it is wonderful.
Thank you! I noticed nobody made a nightcore for this song yet too, so I did it xD

Wow..... just wow..... if u just sit and listen carefully to the lyrics it's like hearing a story being told of the past queens. Like hearing history in a new light from those females who have ruled with the burden of the crown. People seem to think that royalty is only a life of luxury and decision making with fancy dresses crowns/tiaras and living in a palace or castle. But it's so much more than that! It's making sure the country they rule is safe and putting the needs of their people first before their own. This song just makes me even more respectful to the people who have ruled and are ruling countries.
❤️ Is it just me, or does this song sound like it’s from Skyrim? ❤️
💕 This is such beautiful song- I love this so much
It sounds like Elisif would sing this.
This song isn't a crap dude its majestic
This reminds of how itachi sacrificed himself for the village and hiruzens descions to do so
