      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.

    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.

      @@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.

    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

    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. :.(

    ... 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...

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.

    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...

      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

  • @declaredsugar7840
    @declaredsugar7840 5 років тому +10

    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
    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
    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 😄

      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 :)

    • @snugglyface7834
      @snugglyface7834 7 років тому +6

    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.

    • @ATVC93
      @ATVC93 3 роки тому +1

      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.

    • @jupiterb.8213
      @jupiterb.8213 6 років тому +5

      Not exactly. We so little of Chrysalis, we can't form too much of a character for her. We don't know anything of her backstory, or what happened between seasons 2 and 6. It's possible she cares for her children, but doesn't really show it, or we don't see it. The song honestly fits both. Chrysalis more in a literal sense, seeing as the changelings are literally her children.

This song is about a girl who is most likely queen or princess that can't do nothing right and when they try to do something right, she messes up. Also this song is also pretty mess up with "Send no more to die" she didn't defend her people like she was told. Lol this have nothing to do with your life what so ever but I do wish your friend in peace and hope their in a happy place.
