[Verse 1] I was born with this Magic's my gift; I'm intelligent The mare who dare defend? Given an element. A constant existence of catered elegance, Pursuit of greater knowledge and presence, and yet I'm hesitant. To open; show these people my face My life's true shape, then the stars aided in her escape The night's weight fallin' as we prayed for our sake The Nightmare had begun, but my destiny's waitin' And now I wake cold sweat again. The foals singin' 'bout All the candy they're bringin' and how thinkin' 'Bout the things in the night that make em shivered and scared That make em dare to tread light and test their fear You best prepare a tribute to the queen: Beware Cause when the night's right she might return and smite us fair. Now cower And just surrender to her frightful power. Hope the light will find a way in our darkest hour. [Chorus] On this most unsettling night Everypony dances 'til the morning light Songs to sing and games to play To keep the dark side of the moon away [Verse 2] And for a time, no one listened My inquisition was brushed under, dismissed n' rejected; Ignored, despite my position. The princess said my stress got ahead of me "No need to fret, see?" Now I'm losin' sleep keepin' Bouts of despair in check while I pretend to be Adjusted; without a care, Instead I dread to see What came be; When she flourished and reigned And returned to her glory; her story to claim the throne again. And still I feel shivers going down my spine When I remind myself of what it took; Without these friends of mine We wouldn't survive the Dark Queen's Rise You're terrified; You better go prepare yourself; Just run and hide! But let me clarify; As long as we prevail An Endless Night will never rise and remain a tale But should we fail, know her second coming's nigh You're horrified; Remember to remain Wary of the Night [Chorus] On this most unsettling night Everypony dances 'til the morning light Songs to sing and games to play To keep the dark side of the moon away [Chorus] On this most unsettling night Everypony dances 'til the morning light Songs to sing and games to play To keep the dark side of the moon away [Outro] When Night falls black and moon's in sky We hide ourselves from her peering eyes So pray we must, lest we seal our doom Our Lunar Goddess: Nightmare Moon
