A song about a pony obsessed with saving archiving everything.

lyrics

Deep in the mountain of Canterlot
A mare is writing in her notes
Her horn lights up and off she goes
To keep on pushing what she knows

The day that you first met her
The hour you said your name
The minute you tripped on down the stairs
And what your future soon became

In the archives, In the archives
In the archives, In the archives

Every single letter
And every single word
These books that sit up on the shelves
Hold every single voice unheard

She needs to know your secrets
If it’s hidden it has a worth
You’ll soon be gone, your life life all logged
And all your for flaws to read in earth

In the archives, In the archives
In the archives, In the archives

[2012 synth solo]

she saw you
unseen
she saw you
unclean

she knows your
old life
she knows your
old strife

everypony has their secrets
she just has them too
a little bit of chrono magic
to get a new view

Deep in the mountain of Canterlot
Another book upon a shelf
The collection grows that no one knows
Her obsession to know it all herself

In the archives, In the archives
Donate your lives to the archives
In the archives, In the archives
Donate your lives to the archives
