Octavia's Overture (SlyphStorm - Reimagining The Living Tombstone)

Lyrics:Look back to long agoTo a little town so calm and slowThe days and months and years just kinda slipped on byYou learned to play those ancient stringsWhile the world listened to other thingsUntil you finally just sat down to crySo you packed a bag and said so longAnd you didn't look back till you were long goneHeaded to the city to play your songCause that's where you belongYour parents worried 'bout you every dayAll your friends said you chose wrongBut the promises of fame, success and fortuneWere just too stongYour only friend in the cold cruel city are your strings and bowKeep walking through the rainy streets with your head down lowAs air gets colder and the rain turns to snow, whisper to yourselfI'm the type of pony everypony should know (everypony should know)I'm the type of pony everypony should know (everypony should know)Octavia, chin up now, don't look so glumOctavia, the time for you to shine has comeOctavia, straighten up your tie and rosin up your bowAnd play the world an overture they'll remember for years to comeOctavia, don't sell your dream so cheapOctavia, this night is yours to keepOctavia, just take a breath and reach down deepAnd play the world a lullaby to send us off to sleepYou've grown to love this sleepless cityWith the shows so bright, and the lights so prettyYou feel that this is where you're meant to beYour name and face are everywhereWhen you walk by, they stop and stareAnd you pretend like you just never see So you called a friend back from the pastA relationship that's meant to lastYou wonder how she's been all these yearsCan't talk now, busy making a brand new songOr is she faking, the conversation broke you down to tearsWhy did I forget about her for so longI thought it wouldn't really matter but it's all just gone so wrongI'm sorry, so sorry, I'm trying to be strongI'm the type of pony everypony should knowBut who I am inside isn't what I showAnd as I walk through the cold and snowI feel so low Octavia, chin up now, don't look so glumOctavia, the time for you to shine has comeOctavia, straighten up your tie and rosin up your bowAnd play the world an overture they'll remember for years to comeOctavia, don't sell your dream so cheapOctavia, this night is yours to keepOctavia, just take a breath and reach down deepAnd play the world a lullaby to send us off to sleepOctavia, we all miss you here at homeOctavia, when you left us all to roamOctavia, we never thought we'd see you againBut the only thing we hear from you is you were right againOctavia, we all miss you here at homeOctavia, when you left us here to roamOctavia, will you come back home to showAll of us what's become of the cellist we used to know
