Essence of the Gods

The darkness has risen, Nightmare Moon unbidden

Has come back to conquer the sun.

Canterlot has fallen, young foals are all bawlin'

All hope is lost - Nightmare has won.

Run now, dear children, do fear her dark gaze

She seeks to take over your minds.

Ponyville blackened, I fear she will raze

Everything good and kind.

The blackest night falling down on Equestria,

Where has our sun princess gone?

Dear princess, sweet princess, take pity, Celestia;

We know not what we have done...

We had no warning, the soft light of morning

Will not warm us with loving care.

Hope, it has faded, for only the jaded

Can do anything but despair.

The only hope that the darkness will pass

Rides with a guest in our town.

May Twilight Sparkle bring bright dawn at last,

Before all happiness drowns.

The blackest night falling down on Equestria,

Where has our sun princess gone?

Dear princess, sweet princess, take pity, Celestia;

We know not what we have done.

May the Elements of Harmony rise

To take back Celestia's throne.

From golden farm to æthereal skies

Help us to take back our home.

Though the Tyrant may sit high above us,

We will not bow, bend or break.

With the Elements, we ponies victorious

Need not worry, hide nor shake.

The blackest night falling down on Equestria,

Where has our sun princess gone?

Dear princess, sweet princess, take pity, Celestia;

We know not what we have done.

The blackest night falling down on Equestria,

Where has our sun princess gone?

Dear princess, sweet princess, take pity, Celestia;

We know not what we have done...
