[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
