All I ever longed for was a world where I belonged
And someone with a smile like yours to share it
Though once I could have simply sat and watched the world burn
When we first met, with you, I knew I'd bear it

For a thousand years the changelings in your cradles have been placed
For a thousand years they do the tasks all gave them
For a thousand years they carve their sigils in the city's bones
And for a thousand years the fae watch and are waiting

And you knew I was different, never fit right in the world
And I knew you were wistful, and elated
Together then we spun and wove a story of our own
And for a while we lived in adoration

For a thousand years the infants have been softly whisked away
And babes like me are put there as replacements
And onto me it falls the task to carve the very last
Sigil that will cause the city's desolation

All I ever longed for was a world where I belonged
And someone with a smile like yours to share it
Together we were fairytales, and poetry and wine
Until you slept with him and I can just not bear it...

I would have saved the world for you, I would have let it go
I would have kept your heart, so sweet, protected
Instead I wonder whether I should carve the final mark
And all that we have loved, it will be ended
All I ever longed for was a world where I belonged
And someone with a smile like yours, to share it
And I can never not love you so deep with all my heart
But this love for you at last, I cannot bear it

The fall of the human city of Victoria was the saddest day in its residents' history. As if some arcane button had been pressed, almost overnight, it simply faded away, replaced by a
Strange and perplexing place, its denizens would refer to as Avalon
