lyrics

The Death of the Princess

I’m stubborn and loud
I don’t back down
I stand my ground
The same way she did

Her blood is running through my veins
Her blood is running through my veins

She is transitioning
I’m repositioning
I pray she is listening
I call her name

Her blood is running through my veins
Her blood is running through my veins

My grief is so vigorous
My direction’s ambiguous
Distress is continuous
I’m so afraid

Her blood is running through my veins
Her blood is running through my veins

The Death of the Princess
The rise of the Queen
you were my Queen,
The Queen of all Queens
And your blood is running through my veins
Your blood is running through my veins

Oh the best parts of me
Are extensions of you
and the worst that you see
I learned from you too
I’m a link in your chain
Blood running through my veins
I’m a link in your chain
Blood running through my veins

I’ll live to make you proud
I’ll sing your name out loud
My daughters will resound
the story of your reign
And We will remain

Your blood is running through our veins
Your blood is running through our veins
