Chapters Their Blood Is On Your Hooves (reprise)
Harmony: Their blood is on Your hooves, O God.
Their blood is on Your hooves.
So many dead, the voices fill Your
Head, keep You on the move.
Their blood is on Your hooves, Celestia.
Their blood is on Your hooves.
I weep for Equestria -
Dead Ponies: We are (lost) we are dead we are gone,
We the ponies ride lonely into the dead of night.
May the memory persist, let them hear our swan song;
Pay the cost, Figurehead - nothing's right.
Survivors: Still an alabaster Bride to
Discord flies above us.
Least Her Radiance knows better
Than to walk among us.
What wage demands your sin?
What price could pierce your skin?
What ransom could drive you off,
And keep you from our kin?
May Her Radiance keep well away,
We've no need this night for day.
Exile, Your path to redemption.
Ancient Ponies: Celestia-dear, O Daughter once,
You once stood well betwixt us.
With velvet wings, and sunlit brow,
You've soared so high beyond us.
All Ponies: O, our Princess sits high above the world,
A mark we'll never reach.
Her world, the only safe abode;
What could we have done, but leach?
Our Kingdom has come to an end,
Now we wait for the
Light when the Sun will rise again.
Survivors: What wage demands your sin?
What price could pierce your skin?
What ransom could drive you off,
And keep you from our kin?
May Her Radiance keep well away,
We've no need this night for day.
Exile, Your path to redemption.
Sunny: When you've lost all Your sense, know You're wrong,
And Your playthings are all dead and gone...
Feel the guilt run 'neath Your skin, the porcelain doll at last begins
To crack, release the hatred held so long!
Celestia: Now this ever-faithful Bride to
Ruin stands among you.
Wild horses, those denied,
Induct Me, I implore you...
What wage demands your sin?
What price could pierce your skin?
What ransom could drive you off,
And keep you from our kin?
May Her Radiance keep well away,
We've no need this night for day.
Exile, Your path to redemption.
What wage could cost this sin?
True change must bloom within.
Lest Your protection yet kill us all,
We must protect our kin.
So, Your Radiance, Princess of day,
Cast all false symbols away.
No longer, call Equestria Your kin.
Survivors: But still, through clouds of madness
The beacon of the landless
Shines. The Tyrant of the
Sun holds fast, we're safe as long as
Sunny lasts; Equestria will
Hold...
The storm has come and gone, left all in disarray.
We have to wait until our
Twilight Princess finally finds a way...
Through the darkness...
These Magic Ponies of the sky
Old friends, our truest allies; but
Never can they lead the herd.
We learned that lesson, years gone by...
We do not speak of the Pariah, the Wolf in pony's guise.
The One whose crimson energies by day still light the skies...
I wonder, would a monster such as this e'er feel remorse?
Celestia, a Nightmare vile to whom we all are wise...
O, our Princess sits high above the world,
A mark we'll never reach.
Her world, the only safe abode -
What could we have done, but leach?
Our Kingdom has come to an end,
Now we wait for the
Light when the Sun will rise again.
There come the armies, marching hard and
Fast, their plan: return the dismal
Past we knew in Discord's reign...
At least that one works for our gain...
Even the Sentinels of Harmony can't
Match our enemy; at best we'll
Catch some sweet reprieve...
At least most Princesses believe in Harmony...
Another one to crucify, another martyr hung to dry.
The Force for Harmony whose name all songs vilify with equal fervour...
Though we stood already over Hell, his actions pushed us further,
Only by his sacrifice of Sunny are his actions 'lowed to fly.
O, a Tyrant sits willingly in flames,
He cannot reach us here.
In chains of balefire he remains,
A beast to keep our fears at
Bay. All Kingdoms fall in the end,
All we can do is
Wait for the Sun to rise again.
Look, what horror makes a visitation.
May our Guardians show no hesitation;
Stop the Solar Empress,
Quick, before her magic can impress-!
Too late, they're talking now.
A congress of the gods, that solar
Cow deserves no audience; best
Send her packing, whence she came.
We ponies know our failure, reliance on the strong.
The herd together, equal has survived this far along.
Even Princess' betrayal cannot crush our unity.
One unit, we will carry on well past the ending of these songs...
O, our Princess, so magnificent and flawed,
You truly are the Queen.
Of a people terrified and awed
By powers past our limited scene.
This Kingdom of Insanity must end,
You will not let it end.
So go on, you raise the Sun again.
O yes, dear Princess, take your place
As Architect of Doom.
We can't prevent your re-ascension,
Cannot hope against what looms.
A Kingdom, cold, corrupt will rise again,
On the day the damned Sun will rise again...
Celestia: Once upon a time, in a land of careless rhyme,
The Kingdom of Equestria saw heroes 'cross this time.
But even when no hope was found, Our Kingdom did not run aground.
The Magic of Friendship, survives...
As pegasi soar, through the sky more
Ponies dream of what could be.
Magic glows, parts 'way the snows
Earth ponies bring the land to seed.
Ponies strange, ideals change.
Sometimes a farmer will be Queen.
All are free in harmony,
To chase those wild dreams...
Ancient Ponies: The darkness passes
Through empty glasses
The wind in the trees don't bend our knees,
The Princesses hold fast.
Celestia: And the Magic of Friendship holds strong,
As integrity sustains our home.
Charity will carry our wronged,
Compassion keep our hearts from harm.
In Unity and Friendship, we go on
In optimism, keep to the trail long
Put our devotion into song
And carry leadership together...
Ancient Ponies: In sisterhood, past ages good
Nopony thought to gaze outside
Of our patch of Eden, fine just feedin'
Off your eager stride.
Our children grew to see you as egregious,
Eminent and fine.
Now we see the truth, behind your youth
The trap set, hook and line.
Celestia: But still, you wander
Skilful, blunder
Into this state, global degradation
March your way with thunder...
Celestia: And the Magic of Friendship holds strong,
As integrity sustains our home.
Charity will carry our wronged,
Compassion keep our hearts from harm.
In Unity and Friendship, we go on
In optimism, keep to the trail long
Put our devotion into song
And carry leadership together...
Cadance: Even in the darkest time, our hearts will always fill with rhyme.
And our Kingdom of true Harmony will stand the test of time.
If we take these tarnished wings and fly together, where freedom rings,
Our promised land we'll find someday and see what tomorrow brings...
Celestia: Yes, the Sun will rise on another day,
Ten thousand years might past before we're free.
We have made it through this fire and pain,
The Sun will rise again...
This is Equestria, our home and sacred
Land. We do not heed Fate's dark
Command. We rise in solidarity,
And make our own harmony.
As the imbalance spreads its fire far and
Wide, 'twill meet with ire and the
Pride of a nation yet unbowed.
Heed well this solar Cow...
Sunny: Poor little foals stand in formation,
Think unity's enough.
What if they had the information,
They lack - could they stand tough?
What is responsibility
To spoiled little brats?
You've no response ability,
Too slow - just bitter castaways...
Celestia: And the Magic of Friendship holds strong,
As integrity sustains our home.
Charity will carry our wronged,
Compassion keep our hearts from harm.
In Unity and Friendship, we go on
In optimism, keep to the trail long
Put our devotion into song
And carry leadership together...
I never wished to lead, but ponies needed
Shelter from the storm.
Though no price was set, you owed me yet
Again; bitterness was born.
How could you ever pay for Heaven?
What price, liberty?
Spectrospiritual imbalance sewn by
Too much harmony.
Sunny: Flight into Discordia,
The world in cold inertia!
Into this plight, Her crimson flight
A blessing quick to hurt ya.
Celestia: And the Magic of Friendship holds strong,
As integrity sustains our home.
Charity will carry our wronged,
Compassion keep our hearts from harm.
In Unity and Friendship, we go on
In optimism, keep to the trail long
Put our devotion into song
And carry leadership together...
All: Together, we rage against the end!
A tether strong enough to balance sin!
Forgiveness, acceptance, eyes open wide
On this Flight out of Madness we will ride!
Celestia: And the Magic of Friendship holds strong,
As integrity sustains our home.
Charity will carry our wronged,
Compassion keep our hearts from harm.
In Unity and Friendship, we go on
In optimism, keep to the trail long
Put our devotion into song
And carry leadership together...
Celestia: And the Magic of Friendship holds strong,
As honesty sustains our home.
Generosity will carry our wronged,
Kindness keep our hearts from harm.
In Unity and Friendship, we go on
With laughter, keep to the trail long
Put our loyalty into song
And create magic together...
Ancient Ponies: There she lies; an imposter, pretender!
Rise up ponies; our defender is
Gone! Into the nightmare Her Radiance
Shone, but no light is shining back...
Spike: Into the light it shone,
The beacon for each evil banished.
With Celestia gone,
What shields remained, quite quickly, vanished.
Spike + Survivors: Now our defender is back, ready to press the attack
Pretender to the role of saviour.
We all remember her lack, her careless show of alacrity,
Unending hypocrisy leaves a bitter flavour.
Celestia: Into the darkness long I gazed,
Compulsion to go deeper, held at bay.
And heedless, still unfazed, I
Had my final say. (NO!)
In neverending surprise, never could I have surmised
Consequences so black, may my defences hold back the
Horde of fury I cannot refuse.
Too wise to their role, I can only hope to defuse...
Spike: Mare of Steel, made to feel
Keenly ponies' loss; loneliness
Inevitable, for one immortal;
So superior...
Power past the ken of most.
Celestia: In ignorance, a filly
Had more sense, saw clear the path to peace.
In hindsight, seems so silly;
Even abominations need release.
So madness turns, the Fire burns
Took all I loved the most. Above all,
I can't hope to lose; unless I choose.
What price might victory bring?
Spike: Mare of Steel, made to feel
Keenly ponies' loss; loneliness
Inevitable, for one immortal -
So superior...
Ten hours past the midnight ghost.
Celestia: Compassion may guide my hooves,
But this enemy must die.
My Little... my Fellow Ponies abused,
We'll see these cretins fly.
An alabaster bitch, accursed witch, and
Enemy to all.
Her mothering once smothering did
Make Equestria fall.
Spike: Mare of Steel, made to feel
Keenly ponies' loss; loneliness
Inevitable, for one immortal -
So superior...
An ashen priest, cold Fire's host.
Spike: Mare of Steel, made to feel
Keenly ponies' loss; loneliness
Inevitable, for one immortal -
So superior...
That summer breeze will hotly roast
The Progenitors.
They Don't Know My Secret
Celestia: All it takes is one.
One pebble tumbling down.
That pebble hits somepony, turns
Their smile upside down.
That pony reaches home.
Their frown becomes a tragedy when
One hit by another stone
Trips up, and blames the first one that he sees...
All the very best,
All love I can spare.
The brightest dreams of ponies should be
Freed, upon the air.
They don't know My secret,
What I've left behind.
Regrets best left unspoken,
Remembered to remind Me...
Debts owed, well past their due.
Punishments left 'til My end.
That Judgement Day, at last I'll pay
For crimes I cannot mend.
Two ponies sit in jail.
The jail, overcrowded, sends
Killers on the rail.
The royal guards, confounded...
The Killers set to torch,
The town of Appleloosa.
Many-an Apple scorched,
The killers free to loot.
May all your brightest dreams
Find life beyond the seams.
And the tapestry of life be bright,
No matter how dark it seems. But
They don't know My secret,
What I hid away.
The measures taken 'gainst these threats,
The price of a sunlit day.
Now, on this glorious night,
Strong in Our determination.
May the Fires of a Universe
Cry out, against obliteration...!
The scent of burning Apples,
Carried on the wind.
A family uprooted when the
Apples lost their kin.
Three fillies forced to grow,
One's cutie mark a sin.
No more would this Sweet Belle toll,
She fled the killers' rictus grin.
Our tapestry, be bright.
Burn free, O kindest light.
All ponies be united
Be well, into this fight.
They can't know My secret,
The fight lost long ago.
When Nightmare Moon's dear Sister was
Uplifted, 'gainst Her foe.
Celestia was lost.
A night mare in her stead.
The Tyranny of light did cease,
As an Alicorn fell, dead.
The Sweetest Belle lost to a sister,
Fled the grisly scene
A pain rarely imagined, drove
Both into the wild green.
The Wild Horses swelled,
An assassin found her place.
Two sisters found lives of surprising
Harmony and grace.
This herd, a force to bear.
United in pursuit of life
Our enemy lies, there.
No true personification of our strife...
They don't know the secret,
Hid well inside my tale.
How circumstance that burns us makes what
Life we find now, pale.
Only through the burning of a
Soul through Life's cruel game
May we find the sweetest fruit our lives could
Ever hope to obtain.
Yes, Sweetie Belle, a criminal, found
Meaning and true life.
Rarity did find true love,
A dragon's loving wife.
The bonds we share are everything,
Together, we outlast.
The time is almost here to take
A new step from the past...
All the very best, as we
Herd together, now.
Every fibre of your being keep the
Universe in tow.
They don't know a secret,
They would not understand.
We cannot help the roles we play;
The measures they demand.
Though we are damned to burn, may the
Memory of Light fly, free.
To feed the Sacred Fire with
Life and energy.
Here we are, it's time. Ride well, O sisters kind.
Remember every colour, every venture, every line.
Celestia: Hope... is all we have, our greatest
Treasure, a balming salve.
Hope... to light the dark, straighten up and
Stand at the ready; ready to make your mark...
Spike: On your
Mark, as the fires light the
Dark, eighty thousand, shining
Ponies, in defiance of the
Stark land they lost, unwinding...
Sunny: Finally, the spark hits
Ponyville. They rally, strong and
Resolute, the chill descends, denies the
Valley of six thousand souls...
Twilight: The only reason left is to
See another season.
Unity and friendship for their
Own sake - seize the day...
Luna: The only things we have are the
Memories of the past, the
Promise of a future and
This moment, which cannot last...
All: We have today; in camaraderie;
We have the love we feel inside.
We have the pain the world denied.
We have
Hope.
Sentinels of Harmony: Mark the locations of the
Stark rock formations;
Hide well from the spirits fell that
Work to end our nation...
Harmony: Ride, on tarnished wings; the world
Outside our ruined Kingdom may be
Bleak; but we need not
Hide any longer...
Discord: Now the ponies see the world
As it was meant to be seen;
dDominion o'er creation by that
Collared sow stops here...
Celestia: We forge together with the
Memories of the past, the
Promise of a future and
This moment, which cannot last...
All: We have today; in camaraderie;
We have the love we feel inside.
We have the pain the world denied.
We have
Hope.
Sunny: Fear beyond all comprehension!
Cherish your wise apprehension!
Spirits take the warmth inside you,
Tear it out, and roughly ride you!
Twilight: Outside the realm of understanding,
Shouts a hellspawned beast; demanding
Blood for all the time denied.
Without a doubt, beyond our magic...
Celestia: To get to Heaven, you're going to have to die.
Please don't cry.
I promise that the other side is
Peaceful, calm and dry.
Dry your tears, remember even though our
Time here's at an end;
We'll always have the time we had as
Friends...
Ride with meaning in each step!
Burn hot enough to keep the dead at rest!
Cherish every breath we have together,
Ride on until they stop us; at our best!
Twilight: Keep in your minds all of the
Memories of the past, the
Promise of a future and
This moment, which will not last...
any longer
Absence: Cosmic balance sundered by a
God of radiant thunder; this
Imposter has denied us justice,
Lost Kings have their ride, to halt this
Blasphemy~!
Celestia: The order of the universe is
Borderline abhorrent; keeping
Gods dependent on their charges;
Horrors from their task...
Perhaps it's time a ne accord were made.
One we wouldn't have to disobey,
All I ask is that you spare these ponies,
Give them their land, and their freedom; take your shade.
Absence: Your words dance - pretty, meaningless and small.
You know you can't prevent the final fall.
Enjoy your final moments in this state;
Finally, you'll heed the call of Fate!
All: We have today; to laugh and play;
We have what time we get to live, in
Fellowship and common sin.
We have
Life.
Luna: Will you deny the common need of all these
Souls? Decry them in your greed?
So many worlds lie in your grasp,
You've made this right so fleet.
Twilight: Every soul you see today will soon
Enough know Death's decay.
Those who've fallen from the light
Roll into your domain.
Cadance: Even if you're right, even if we shouldn't be...
It would seem that it's too late to take the Gift of Life away.
A spark, once kindled, snuffed without a thought;
But think before you leave us all to rot!
Discord: They cannot hear you o'er the
Memories of the past,
The promise of return to the old ways;
This time sadly lacks all gravitas...
All: Grant us today, this dismal play
Needn't end in tragedy, let us
Mend the wrongs and be
Once again, hopeful in
Harmony.
Sunny: The fire burns, emancipates
A liar's turn to set it straight.
Re-wire and this world defenestrate!
Your relevance is long past due,
Progenitors, you ancient few
O Sentinels; go set their world askew!
Celestia: To get to Heaven, you're going to have to die.
No, please don't cry.
I promise that the other side is
Peaceful, calm and dry.
Dry your tears, remember even though our
Time here's at an end;
We'll always have the time we had as
Friends...
Sentinels: Last. We breathe our
Last. Relics of the
Past, resurrected
As a mistake...
We hold, the Elements
Cold, we should've been left to
Rest; magicks
Bold sustain our lives...
Sentinels + Twilight: By moonlight bright, soft candlelight,
O may we finally
Find the path to peace and set things right,
Elements - oh, please...
All: We'll have today, to find a way
To live life high and well,
Though tomorrow may bring hell;
We'll have
Love.
Absence: You cannot escape our gaze!
Too hot the fire burns! We will
Raze your plot of land to ash!
'Til not a thought is left...
Celestia: We've taken so much time, but now this paradigm
Is set to shift.
Through ev'ry battle won, we've held the smoking gun
And caused this rift.
Sunny: Now is the time for Darkness to consume this fragile earth!
Now is the time for Judgement Day and for our new rebirth!
A race of simple ponies have defied your every move!
Give way to this new line of thought; embrace the Celestial groove!
Spike: May we always find our way to the
Memories of the past,
The promise of a future and
This moment; may it never last,
Never lose its gravitas...
So came today, to end its sway.
The sun set on Equestria,
And perfect, flawed Celestia,
Still reigns
Hope.
Celestia: To get to Heaven, My Little Ponies had to die.
No, don't cry.
Be sure that on the other side,
Sweet ponies learned to fly.
Though our time together has at
Last come to an end,
We'll always have the time we had as
Friends...
Harmony: So a nation made its transition, through madness and despair.
The greatest of ideals finally vanish, into air.
The spirit of true life denied by those who hated change.
To think the end of Ponykind's so arbitrary may seem strange...
Sunny: It's bullshit! What kind of end is this supposed to be?
What about my Kingdom promised? What of Harmony?
Bronies: Celestia has damned us all, true beauty finally dead.
Could we not have sacrificed humanity instead?
I know they're just imaginary, world without them seems so scary...
How could this be Equestria Found?
Harmony: Thirty months have passed since the show made its début.
All our hopes and dreams, exemplified in plainest view.
A way for children never to grow, remain sweet, innocent.
Kids are perfect; aren't they? Perfection Heaven-sent...
Sunny: Refuse to take your stand! Refuse the best life has to offer!
Childhood is best left behind; sweet comfort, in your coffin!
Nightmare Sun: What is Heaven, if not denial of true Life?
A lovely knife...
With which we may escape our struggles,
Recognize our strife?
But without this false image, can't we
Graceful, take our end?
The sweetness of the time we had as
Friends...
Bronies: Celestia, our perfect Queen, please don't abandon us.
There is nothing left without your kind, well-written sweetness.
Ponyland, our great escape
Superman without a cape
What idiot could see this as Equestria Found?
Zak: So ends the story so nice, I had to end it twice.
Thirty months gone by, trapped inside this colourful vice.
But what are humans, if not a race of dreamers without compare?
We'll never abandon our escapes, soaring without a care...
Nightmare Sun: Always, will the Fire burn, in spite of those It hurts.
All Life is doomed to vanish, leave the Void no better or worse.
But in the burning of today,
We find such meaning, laugh and play,
So here is your Equestria, found.
Spike: ...and then the Sun did rise on another day,
Sunny Cur, with progenital ties, did find a way
To upset the cosmic pantheon;
A god, undeserving, did say:
Sunny: This Equestrian Apocalypse!
A tragedy so vile brought us to this state of bliss!
I've no idea where next the Fire will burn;
Ponykind will see it, through this vestal urn...
Luna: Definitions change. In time, all
Life will know decay. But still, the
Strife we knew defined the path we
Blaze through tides of emptiness...
Celestia: Thus did eighty thousand and three
Find their lasting harmony.
Cosmonauts, drifting through wonders;
Unknown and, 'til now, unseen.
Celestia: To get to Heaven, you're going to have to die.
Please don't cry.
I promise that the other side is
Peaceful, calm and dry.
Dry your tears, remember even though our
Time here's at an end;
We'll always have the time we had as
Friends...
Harmony: But still Equestria burns, in the
Hearts of those she turned to her
Cause... love blooms in spite of her
Flaws...
In truth, you didn't think our Princess
Laid all to rest so
Easily? What of my
Prophecy?
So a nation made its transition through madness and despair.
The ponies of Equestria tell of their greatest mare;
The gift of life Celestia's transcendence gave them all;
A royal middle finger (what's that?) to those awaiting our fall...
I hope you understand, my princess, all that we've been through.
A hollow man, you made me whole; believe my words are true...
Celestia, you trusted in the soul of Ponykind.
Goodness to fill the world up, wonderment to last for all time.
A master stroke, a pony broke
To fix the mess left by your spell
No longer will I weep for Equestria Found.
A thousand years have passed since Ponykind went so astray,
Princess Celestia gave up her throne; with Luna, went away.
The last I heard, they'd found an island, wile their time away.
While Sunny Cur and Twilight hold dominion over night and day.
What? You didn't think Celestia'd let her son stay trapped?
The OC Alicorn has to come back; that's how these odes are mapped...
Celestia, on tarnished wings you fly, your gambit great.
The darkness has no leader - easy 'nough for Sunny to wait.
An opportunity arose, the plan well past my gaze unfolded
And so, was Equestria found.
We Fellow Ponies, our lives imperfect but oh, so sweet.
This dance continues, fills the world with music, laughter and conceit.
Eventually the Fire will burn, and Ponykind will fail.
Hold each moment in your heart, let the most ridiculous dreams set sail;
Sunny: Nightmares rule the day, but still the sun keeps going 'round.
Despite the cruel needs and desires of Equestria Found.
Harmony: How long has it been, O Cel, since the Nightmare took your mind?
Could we ever say you left that madness far behind?
And how long has the world gone by without Celestia in her sky?
Does it matter in the wake of Equestria Found?
In truth, an Equestria Crowned.
Never an Equestria Drowned.
I Don't Remember Why I'm Out Here Anymore
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...
Spectrospiritual Imbalance
Twilight: In Time, a balance was struck
By Celestia's denial of Discord. Now her luck's
Run out; these lines aren't straight,
Everypony can't wait.
Celestia must save us all...
All Ponies: Final return to what was lost!
Now the clock's struck twelve,
And our Princess cannot
Save herself; guilt embossed...
Sunny: Upon that Alabaster plot!
Spectrospiritual imbalance
Spreads across the land!
To hollow dirges ponies dance,
Orchestrated by Harmony's hand!
Into veritable pandemics we
Fly, tortuously.
Equestria's lost to this scattered
Ghost of reality!
Survivors: How heavy the burden You
Bear? Did You care too
Much? Did our expectations
Take You right out of touch?
Without you, can we restore our nation?
Luna: In one fell swoop, the Wild Horses
Sundered bonds that held dark forces
At bay. Celestia's wards giving
Way to foes of all Creation...
Sunny: Spectospiritual imbalance
Spreads across Equestria!
As vaunted Gods spare not a glance for
We burned, left to rest in vitria!
Psychospiritual pandemic
Salts once-sacred land.
Discorded dreams, a plague endemic
Leave no legs to stand...
Survivors: Insanity, our blood and daily
Bread. This torment's bled us
Dry, overhead the magic
Storms enrage. Why let the dread
Go on? Death would be less tragic...
Ancient Ponies: Save us not. Mistake not the
Cries of foals for real thought.
We're fine. Better on our own, we'll
Find the way (though the path's erratic...)
Sunny: Spectrospiritual imbalance
Falls across the plains!
The shadow of Your sweet refusal
Falls like acid rain.
Psychospiritual pandemics
Crack the whip; will we
Ever find the way to leave this grim
Reflection of reality?!
