Mistmane:
All my life I saw the goodness in the world
In the great and little things…
I had strived to bring more everywhere I could
Like a flower in the spring
Yet I was so unconscious of
Where ugliness could cling
Where such a pain might have festered
Where I was needed to bring
True beauty inside
Not seeking glory, trying to justify
I had let decay so long
After years, I found my village left in ruin
How I felt like such a fool…
That I’d let her steal all beauty that she could
To create an empty jewel
And what I found there upon the throne
In her abhorrent rule
Was an old friend I cared about
And I had let her turn so cruel
All beauty outside
Filling the palace, all an attempt to hide
A curse born from an envious pride
How our village cried
I should have seen the cause of this great divide
Now, I had to face her
Mistmane + Choir:
For beauty isn’t ours alone
A thing to steal or hoard or own
It is a light for all to see
A well of life to let flow free
[Guitar Solo: L-Train]
Mistmane:
And in the end, when I held her there
I knew I had to prove
Give up my beauty for everyone
And even her too
True beauty inside
Shines on its own, all vanity aside
Frees those who let ugliness hide
All I could provide, all I can do
To help out your village too
I’ll do it to help you
