Equestrian Apocalypse

Previous Chapter

Ponies: As we stand here in the cold,

There burns Equestria.

I feel my legs fold,

Twenty thousand saved by Celestia.

But why couldn't she stop the storm?

Why couldn't she save Equestria?

I feel my anger warm...

Why did she fail Equestria?

Equestria the Beautiful,

To which my heart still sings.

A dream deferred, a people lost.

Through time their cries will ring.

Celestia, we trusted that You'd bear us through this trial.

Ponies burned for years before your long-awaited denial.

The Sun is off, the Moon has run; will You deny You hold the smoking

Gun? Will You leave our Equestria Lost?

Celestia: As I fly,

The clouds seem irrelevant.

Your words,

A subtle stampede of elephants.

Though I tried to save you,

You deserved not the honour.

Your enemy within I cannot

Face for you...

Twilight: The magic unleashed could not have waited anymore,

To stop it would have only brought delay.

(Princess, why do You torment those who love You?

If You know some way to stop the Fire, go without delay!)

Ponies: Princess, tell us why this tragedy

Won't end; why peace so suddenly

Fled our land, to bleed eternally?

You've saved us for so long;

Perhaps some gratitude should come?

Please, Princess, put down that smoking gun.

Celestia: I fly high.

Your pleas are inelegant.

You cry,

Like foals refuse development.

I weep for the loss of my

Home, cry harder at you

Failure to govern us,

Determine our path...

Lightning Acuity: Princess, by the Power vested

Me as Chancellor, I order

You to save us, best you can.

Our Goddess, is their truly any

Feat beyond Your ardour?

Celestia, reveal to us Your plan!

Sunny: Rip the ponies' world apart,

The Fire burns today.

Everypony brokenhearted,

This won't go away.

Sunny burns Equestria,

Celestia stands by;

You've hurt Her far too badly,

She won't save you - wonder why?

Celestia: I gave

You every opportunity

I tried

To let you run Our community

My ponies hurt so much,

One tribe near dead and gone.

Now you ask me to save you...

I fly.

My, doesn't the Sun look lovely there?

Goodbye,

And thanks for all the warfare.

I've never hurt so much,

My children dead to me.

Now I tell you of No...
