Celestia: I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

Legs are sore, still I endure.

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

I remember fighting, so many ponies lost!

My haste to enlighten them, incurred so great a cost

I've denied them every evil, each chance for them to grow.

For the very first time, I've had to tell my babies "no."

(I hate that tune...)

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

Eyes that glaze, pierce through the haze.

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

I don't remember a time

When My Little Ponies kept in line.

And when they did listen well,

It sent them, screaming, into Hell.

I don't recall my many sins,

I'm flying free, on burnished wings.

Leave the past behind,

Sweetest memories unwind...

I remember failing, Equestria forlorn.

Royal duties left abandoned, with all the oaths I've sworn.

Yet each mile I put behind me gives more perspective gained.

Every pony I have failed need not have died in vain.

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

There falls the rain, wash all this pain.

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

I can't remember that place,

Of wondrous harmony and grace.

Where all ponies had a say,

Freed from this madness and dismay.

When I think back to that sanctuary,

All that comes is "thank you very

Much for all the time you've wasted

Circling 'round; won't change what you

Chase."

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

Soul's afire, must fly high.

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

I remember flying, soaring without a care.

On wings of tarnished steel I can fly most anywhere.

A new age is dawning, night to Equestria's day.

I regret nothing of the price ponies will pay.

I don't remember why I'm out here anymore.

Tempers flare; I do not care.

I don't remember why I'm out here any...
