Gather ‘round my children, because now the time has come To tell you of the angels of the dusk and of the dawn The ones whose very voices hold sway over night and day And the ponies of their magic kingdom following their ways
Land so bountiful, free and beautiful, filled with joy and praise
Heavenly waltz of the sky, Inspire the ones who see All the hearts beat as one in Harmony
By day the light and warmth bring ease to all their busy toil The ponies plating for the harvest, from the fertile soil
By night, when work is done, The hours of rest are theirs to keep To talk and laugh and play with friends, Or drift away to sleep
Held so tenderly Kept in harmony Loved by night and day
Heavenly waltz of the sky, inspire the ones who see All the hearts beat as one in Harmony Faithfully, side by side, the blood that bonds us deep May we rule and love in Unity!

Twinkling stars of every size Adorn the canvas of the skies Captivate and mesmerize And usher in the moonrise
Wait! Hold on, don't close your eyes, Would you waste this evening so divine? Would you lie and not arise, and slumber through creation at its prime?
Ruling from a silent throne, her majesty ignored Leaving her tender breaking heart to fracture all alone
And so a wicked seed began to grow and grow Twisting up her loving mind with sharp and hateful thorns
Don't they see how hard I try? Is my night not worthy for them? Do they think they can deny My royal right?
Let's see them try to hide!
No more will the moon be eclipsed By selfish, blinding, scorching sunlight! Gaze upon the dusk of a new age, The lunar throne shall take its rightful place!
Dies irae, dies umbra
What is wrong, my subjects? Is the moon not to your liking? Perhaps you just don't see The endless sea of black, And all of the stars so striking, Do you dare to anger me?
Is it so hard to give up the way things are? Do you not see the wonders I create? Why do you hide away from the night and stars? Did I deserve your fear and hate?
Well no more, usher the coming storm, Let darkness flood the morn and swallow ev'ry wayward light Lay the seas and mountains under blackened heavens, Bow now citizens, unto the throne of night
Rise now regal moon, all the world consume Tremble at the sight, the eternal night!
What's become of you sister? Don't you see your own soul waning? While this anger burns for me Please give me a chance To save all that's remaining And end this war, I plea!
Stow your scorn, call off your hellish swarm, Our people won't be torn because of your fiery spite, Free them from your vengeance, or you'll pay the penance, Must you make me cast the sentence for this blight?
Dearest sister Luna, what have you done? Can't you see the monster you have become?
Sound the battle horn, as all the world will mourn, When fam'ly love's forlorn for warriors and might, Beloved alicorns, the angels we'd adorn With majesty, will war and we will bear the plight
New allegiance will rise, thirsting for demise The winds will carry the ring of walls crumbling The stage is set for the clash, the magic is cast As the battle begins!
Daybreak comes on a cold lonely morn Castle in ruins, and tapestry torn As the moon finally sets all the world's left to mourn Princess and people forlorn
Sister, my dear, I'm all on my own If I could have saved you, if I could have known, Though much time will pass I'll love you evermore
But the sunrise lifts their hearts from the dark The dawn bringing light, bringing hope We will rebuild, for our spirit is strong, And Harmony will be restored.
Nightmare Moon sealed away in lunar prison Life will go on in the kingdom below All is set right in the world for a season ‘Til her release when this story is closed
The stars will aid in her escape Return to where the battle raged The elements will wash away the darkness and the pain
My little ponies, the horror has ended Luna will pay for the crime she has done Don't let her sins fill your mind up with hatred Forgiveness is all I can ask of you now
For the future is bright Golden age within sight If you let love lead the way
Now the sunrise lifts us up from the dark, The dawn bringing light, bringing hope We will rebuild, for our spirit is strong, And Harmony will be restored
Listen now my children, for the meaning of her fall A heart that's left abandoned causes sadness in us all So love your fellow ponies, show a kindness unrestrained And Harmony will follow you for all of your days
Now the sunrise lifts us up from the dark, The dawn bringing light, bringing hope We will rebuild, for our spirit is strong, And Harmony will be restored
