Essence of the Gods

Fate. It must have been fate that's brought us

Here, the place where everything we hold

Dear will be waged in this final contest,

This fight in the war of ideals.

Lies. You've given me nothing other than

Lies, obscured the truth from these burning

Eyes. Now this whirlwind of fire

Aimed at you from the skies.

You've given me nothing I can use to save myself

I cannot accept this gift of friendship and good health

The Night Mares captured me and showed where I should be

I cannot escape the chains they used to set me free

Oh princess, my princess, you never let me see

Just settled for hiding me in the Everfree

Oh mother, my mother, I understand the truth

You drank of my father like a noble does vermouth

Ponyville, the day has finally drawn

Near when every ill you ever could

Fear strikes the spark as this burning

Tyger draws ever near.

Sleep, and know that paradise never

Keeps; into the sweetest fruit decay

Creeps. Even princesses expire,

Fuel the fire so deep.

And now the fire burns away all that I once was.

I hope that it gets to you before it burns all I loved

I can't even say I truly wish to bring you to death.

But then the fire sparks and thus the thought is undone!

Oh Princess, sweet Princess, each day is agony.

If I cannot kill you they'll never let me be.

Even death will not save me from these wards of necromancy.

Unless I can kill you, then my soul they'll finally set free

Too bad the Elements are all locked away,

Else you might have had a chance.

The magics so black you used on Harmony

Will turnabout, make you dance.

And the Night Mares will dance upon the ashes of this land.

His prophecy, now realized will lay the final hand.

And the Princesses will fall, Equestria will be no more

How could he see this as the path to peace forevermore?

The fire will burn away until its task is complete

Your sacrifice for Ponyville's sake is so sweet

Your caring heart's the weapon I'll use to kill you.

My magic unlocked at last, this alicorn in true!

They'll never forgive me for all the wrongs I have done

The murders, the thefts and now the deicide to come

I wish that the Fire burned somepony else instead

At least once I've killed you, I'll be allowed to rest.

The Tyrant has risen, quick, ponies, go summon

The Elements to stop this wrong.

Ponyville burns, will we never learn

Why madness has plagued us so long?

Nightmare Moon's return, it began

Discord and Chrysalis, Sombra, now this fire lord

The Sunshine Tyrant pursues his dark plan

To kill a princess - he's out of his gourd

The Elements are lost, inside that damnable tree

Six ponies will have to do to bring back harmony

Please, Elements that were, do stop this mad pony

Oh, Princess Twilight, save your mentor, set us free!

(Fear not the) Sun will rise on this tragedy,

This God of Fire won't threaten harmony.

And our nation won't be set ablaze,

We will see the return of better days~

You've arrived. Celestia, just in time to

See me kill the Elements of Harmony,

I've already had my way with

Two - what can you hope to do?

Sunny's gone. The fire's burned him all

Away, just like I'll do to you

Today. Your little ponies are going to

Pay... unless you kill me first.

I've murdered too many of your children to ever count

Fair price for the father you killed, held in thrall for advice

I wish I could show them what I've seen behind your mask

Your death and my freedom will have to suffice.

Here Princess, come Princess, it's time for you to burn.

To play the final role before your world ceases to turn.

This magical inversion was a harder part to learn.

Now the spell is cast, and
