Lyrics
- - - - - - - -
Luna:
I never should have done this.
Please Sister, why can't you just take me back?
Please!

Nightmare Moon:
Fate has been cruel and Order unkind
How could you have sent me away?
I sit here and gaze into stillness alone,
The darkness and silence pervade

But here in my prison, my thoughts they won't fade
Of power, and glory, and praise
Till your blinded eyes can see your own lies
The stars will recount my last days

Luna:
How my deeds pain me as time stretches long
How could I have hurt them this way?
So rest easy now, my punishment's mine
The weight of my crimes are my own

But into that stillness you brought me your song
With your voice my company kept
For your tired eyes and sweet lullabies
In exile I pay you my debt

Nightmare Moon:
Once was a pony whose Moon shone so bright,
The stars were in awe at its glow
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
Who'd dare be asleep through this marvelous show"

Yet where were they all, her subjects she never
Caught sight of when shadows did fall
Their laughter and joy was but a hopeless dream
Which grew into nightmares as sun rays charmed all

Luna:
Once did a pony who gleamed like the Moon
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
Dejected she cried, "Surely, there is no pony
Who loves me or finds any love in my night"

So great was her pain, she rose in rebellion
Against those who cared for her most
She let the Nightmare fall on those she ruled
And threatened to grip them in permanent cold

Lullay dear Tia, good night Sister mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams
And ease you your passage of days

May my apologies find you this night
And may my sorrow in kind
Tia, you loved me much more than I knew
Forgive me for being so blind

Nightmare Moon:
Wait now, Sun princess, the night will arise
So keep not my Moon in its place
Tia, my judgement was not yours to give
And soon now we'll both meet our fates

Carry my rage, oh you shadows of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Sister, your deed hurt much more than you know
The time for my vengeance is nigh

The beams of another cast brightly on others
Whose love and affection it drew
And there that Moon princess watched, shunned by the world
As hate filled her heart and unhappiness grew

"Why don't they adore me?" she thought to herself as
The other had no right to boast
And that selfish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of I who had needed her most

Luna:
Soon did her sister do what was demanded
And gave to the Moonlight her due
Breaking the Harmony, she saved her ponies
And banished her, as a wise ruler must do

But such is the weight of the crown that we wear, Sister
Duties we always uphold
May you forgive me that foolishness mine
And live on with no burden upon your soul

Lullay dear Tia, good night Sister mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams
And ease you your passage of days

May my apologies find you this night
And may my sorrow in kind
Tia, you loved me much more than I knew
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind

Nightmare Moon:
Wait now, Sun princess, the night will arise
So keep not my Moon in its place
Tia, my judgement was not yours to give
And soon now we'll both meet our fates

Carry my rage, oh you shadows of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Sister, your deed hurt much more than you know
May guilt plague you for your great crime
For the time of my vengeance is nigh

Luna (Nightmare Moon):
The space now before us (The years now before us)
Empty and forlorn (Fearful and unknown)
I never imagined (I never imagined)
We'd face them all alone (I'd face them on my own)

May these sunless seasons (May these thousand winters)
Swiftly pass, I pray (Swiftly pass, I pray)

Luna:
I love you, I miss you
All these miles away

Nightmare Moon:
My pain grows, I can't know
Are you still the same?

Luna:
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon that bed above the lights
And know not of heartache, fear, nor gloom
And when I dream, I'll fly away to meet you soon

Nightmare Moon:
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe behind your veil of sunlight
You know not my sadness, pain, nor care
And as you dream, I'll break away and meet you there

Nightmare Moon (Luna):
Sleep (Sleep)
Sleep (Sleep)
Sleep (Sleep)
