← The Thoughts and Ramblings of One Emeric Proud
Shield of Pride
Bastille was left behind when the king's son ran off, and she became the Forgotten Queen, doing her duty without shedding a single tear, and staying super bitter about it underneath. It's a song for the people who hold everything together while nobody's watching, and resent every minute of it.
You're a coward, Dahvian
You have no honor
Get out
And if I ever see you again
You will face justice
My grandfather told me once
We don't marry just for love
Duty, above all, is due
But I also wanted you
No blood shall fall on these streets
We must always keep the peace
Bastille Strong and Proud and true
Duty's all that's left to do
Just a man, right at my age
The king's son, we were engaged
Shame and heartbreak you left me
Made me named Forgotten Queen
No blood shall fall on these streets
We must always keep the peace
Bastille strong and Proud and true
Duty's all that's left to do
Just a man, right at my age
The king's son, we were engaged
Shame and heartbreak you left me
Made me named Forgotten Queen
No blood shall fall on these streets
We must always keep the peace
Bastille strong and Proud and true
Duty's all that's left to do
How could you leave me all alone
Your country, king, even the throne
Abandoned all you ran to hide
Did the thought of me cross your mind
Chin up, Garamond's Keep
No one ever sees me weep
For the future I thought mine
Or the waste of my whole line
No blood shall fall on these streets
We must always keep the peace
Bastille strong and Proud and true
Duty's all that's left to do
No tears of mine fall on these sheets
Nothing left, duty I keep
Jericho, my right-hand man
Protectorate, I command
No blood shall fall on these streets
We must always keep the peace
Bastille strong and Proud and true
Duty's all that's left to do
No blood shall fall on these streets
We must always keep the peace
Bastille strong and Proud and true
Duty's all that's left to do
No tears of mine fall on these sheets
Nothing left, duty I keep
Jericho, my right-hand man
Protectorate, I command
