Beyond the pale horizon An evil shall rise A heart, cold and black As the pits of Tartarus And fire in its eyes
Canterlot shall fall Its loyal subjects Drowning in their blood Canterlot shall fall A swift demise, A deadly, cleansing flood
Turn your head up to the blackening sky Drawing near, my evil forces rise
Behold, we shall take control Ascend unto the throne Celestia will bow before me Her subjects shall serve me, and me alone
Shining Armor's forces Stand no chance against my wrath Equestria is mine, I shall strike down those in my path (solo: Merlin)
Gather up your best defenses Make a final stand But it's no use; I'm in control You'll all die by my spiteful hand The burning sky, the charred remains The rancid smell of death and burnt decay Your faithful student Shall now become my slave (solos: Eric, Diego)
\"They came through the early morning mist Black shadowed stallions, Their marks of which spoke of death Fire did rain from the sky, The seas boiled and the earth shook Pools of crimson seeped into the ground As Celestia's soldiers fell dead\"
The battle has been lost Or so it may seem Silence screams across the war-torn fields The princess has fallen, her powers slowly fade The castle falls and crumbles down the mountainside Rise from the ashes, like a phoenix born anew Reclaim the land and bring peace once again Gather up the elements, and fight the evil force In the end, our magic will prevail It will prevail
Back to the shadows From whence they came Equestria is ours once again (solo: Diego)
And so now ends the tale Of bloodshed and misery An ancient page in a book From a vanished time Indifferent to you or me Canterlot has since rebuilt And all is well under Celestia's sun The war is done, the tides have turned Equestria still carries on...
