She was the first queen
Legend of the stone age
But no one can tell you
She’s better than you
Because you’re you
And how the mighty have fallen
You want to rewrite history
Refuse to bow before her only
Pretend to
Honor her now when her fuel is spent
She didn’t want to live a life apart in her grand tower
But
Nothing could be more important
For you
Her eyes still shine a heroine’s light
She gave all that you might fuel your ambitions
You say
She’s a dinosaur, some long forgotten has-been
And yet she aches
Her wilting love, a shadow cast
What she must have lived through alone
You could not begin to comprehend
Because
In the end
She was the last one standing, one in a million
