Fall of an Empire
Hello weary traveler You strike me, an admirer, of ancient lore With a penchant I see For old history As you’ve never heard it told before It's a familiar tale Of a once mighty king But the story you know Goes much deeper, so Sit back as I tell you and sing There once was a colt with coat dark as coal Who had eyes of a bright burning red Courageous and strong, it was not very long 'Till the crown was bestowed on his head For the king in the North had to be a great force To survive all the harsh elements But the power he held from the keep where he dwelled Would lead to his people's lament But there was a time When his rule was kind When the kingdom was wealthy and thrived Someone caught his eye And he soon realized That he wanted a wife by his side He thought all was right They saw eye to eye A princess from a Southern ally His heart had grown fond As they fostered a bond That the world could not ever defy Grand Regent Unequaled Transcendent Eternal Both hearts longing for simple love to soar But nothing's simple for kingdoms and kings What stands certainly? For eternity? Fear what a veiled future brings One thing's for sure As the ages move on The harshest of debts Is to live with regret So chase what you love Or you'll find it’s departed and gone...

The North is beautiful The land at rest so peacefully Why did we wait so long to travel up to see? Oh yes, it's overdue, but now we're making history To draw much closer ties And join our people's as they're meant to be My warmest welcome to you, dears I hope safe travels brought you here Come feast your eyes, there's much to show Of our oasis in the snow Shining crystal peaks Down to the frozen ground below We've worked the arctic earth And reaped the bounty that we've sown My lord, you're much too kind You needn't go through such fanfare You've clearly marked your reign with acumen and care No wait, we've just arrived I’m sure we still have much to see Lead on, oh gracious king Acquaint us with your kingdom's majesty Why not, it's time to celebrate Our nations joined to commemorate A future gilt in brightest gold Forged here amongst the winter cold Gleaming in the sun, our colors shine in every hue We've fought off every foe and seen our troubles through Standing side-by-side, two nations fortunate and free A righteous pony empire spanning sea to sea! Gleaming in the sun, our colors shine in every hue We've fought off every foe and seen our troubles through Standing side-by-side, two nations fortunate and free A righteous pony empire spanning sea to sea!

Finally, we end a long and busy day Let the moonrise slumber all the world away Watch the colors dance from the vast and great unknown Now, for once, it feels like I am not alone Through all the pain and strife On these crossroads of life We've finally met to make the journey side by side After all this time, the long and distant years Fate has finally brought us both together here No more royal talks, or visiting through charms Soon, I'll always hold you tightly in my arms Through all the pain and strife On these crossroads of life We've finally met to make the journey side by side As all the world is right Our future's shining bright The heavens waltz with the auroras in the night So much to do A wedding to muse I'll talk to you soon Once I break the news Go, and take your time My lovely future bride Soon we'll make that journey Walking side by side

Those days in the empire Her sister saw an instance of what it was As a fleeting desire and not their true fire Or the wedding bells' ringing applause And so she hoped To stop things as they are But her failure to see their true love, so deep Would leave an unhealable scar

Luna, come sit here It's become quite clear You’ve let your heart grow far too fond How can you say this? Don't we deserve bliss? Is it a crime to share a bond? You know that is not the way Can we never love, never just disobey? Duty takes priority But he is a king, the same royalty Bound by his mortality That doesn't matter, at least, not to me But it will Even still You must know that Heavy is the crown we wear It is the price, the burden we bеar Stop this or else it will break your hеart Heavy is the crown we wear Why must it be, the burden I bear? How can I live with a broken heart? Why hello my dear, I thought that you had gone Yes I did, but now we need to talk I have been thinking My heart’s been sinking And I don't think we can go on What are you saying? You must be playing What could have changed, what did I do wrong? Please, you do not share the blame Tell me that you're wrong, that we are still the same It's already killing me Or was it the “queen”, your dear sister's decree? I'll watch you grow old and gray I don't have to die, there still might be a way But you will Even still You must know that Heavy is the crown we wear Why just discard the life we could share? Must we flee before eternity? Heavy is the crown we wear Missing the short-lived life that we share Left to grieve for all eternity Heavy is the crown we wear At any cost, I'll take it and bear Luna, I will never let you go Heavy is the crown we wear That is the cost, the burden I bear Sombra, please, you have to let me go

My midnight angel How could you leave me here alone? Your love is made blind by stories divined To force you to leave me behind What exactly is her aim? Does she think this is just a game? And to cast on me the blame For lighting a lover's flame Well, she can't keep you away Drop us both into dismay Whatever the heavens say We'll be joined as one, one day If being with her means divine ascеnsion If I have to cross the sun Then I'll do what must bе done I'll claim her love, at any cost! "And from the black veil He channeled his power to the stone Oh, jewel of the night, the giver of life Grant me dominion o'er the light" As the candles cry in pain Their echoes carry softly Shadows fall before his name As light bows down before him One by one their embers wane They dim while his grows brighter Feed the fire, the violet flame The flame that burns eternal Sombra! Arise, Sombra! Now I am free of any limitations She can see what I've become Into love we can succumb We'll fight through the frost, at any cost! But will I meet her sister's expectations? Would she still see us apart Never change her empty heart Then peace will be lost, at any cost!

Oh, my king, what miracle is this? Here I thought we'd share our final kiss Now to see you draped in onyx wings You cannot know the joy it brings How could I just let you slip away? When, no matter what, I'd find a way Nothing known could disagree And keep you away from me Why spend these ages trapped in loneliness? Why should it be? When we could rule as regents of the darkness Think of how the world could really be Why should light command the raven sea? Why should shadows hide away When they give light its stay When it’s the sun that should bow down to us! What do you mean? And fall before the rеgents of the dark Sombra, pleasе answer me Every blessing has its cost Though I bear its every weight I will face this “queen’s” accost We'll be forced to separate And face her wishes handed down as fate It can be just you and me Once we're finally left alone We'll command eternity! We can shape it as our own As we both share the seat of darkness' throne Do you understand the words you say? Must this spell have lead your mind astray? Wait there safe beloved king I'll find the cure and bring Then once I have you back, we can profess Soon, you will see Eternal love as regents of the darkness!

Look what your piety has wrought Driven him into recklessness Through some strange talisman he brought On a curse while trying to ascend! If he has dabbled in this way How am I the one that you condemn? Whatever price could he have paid? Do you even know what you defend? March now, ever faster This is war against divinity! Oh please, release! She will see Every soul I've mastered As their shadows fall and bow to me! Bow to him! And my Queen! We cannot stand apart Like kingdoms dividеd by Your arrogant heart! So you'll stand there and fight? Bеlieving you really know What is and what isn't is right! Now you have seen the reason why We must rise above their mortal ways It turns corrupted when we try You must leave these feelings in the past! It doesn't matter what you say All I see is error in his haste Then once I fix the fault he made You will see the ages that we last! Feed me greater power (power!) Know your lives will pay to make the change! Our king, rising When she wanes Soon the north aurora (aurora) Will replace the sun in great exchange Great exchange! For my reign! We cannot stand apart Like kingdoms divided by Your arrogant heart! So you'll stand there and fight? Believing you really know What is and what isn't is right! Soon she'll face us Since I've loosed my mortal chains Now who'll fear death When just two of us remain We cannot stand apart Like kingdoms divided by Your arrogant heart! So you'll stand there and fight? Believing you really know What is and what isn't is right! We cannot stand apart Like kingdoms divided by Your arrogant heart! So you'll stand there and fight? Believing you really know What is and what isn't is right!

Forgive us please, we've come so far There's nowhere else to go (Sanctuary!) But if you are his Queen Then you should know the truth!

We once lived so proud and free But now the dark and vicious king Has their minds captured in shadow and enslaved! So we come To call on you Only then Will they make it through Save us! For only you can Save us! From thе shadow king Luna, what say you? It's your path to choose Knowing what we might have to do Wе cannot delay, though I feel dismay We both know there's no other way Forgive me, please, he's gone too far I truly didn't know Above all else My duty lies with all of you Then it's time to prepare By the snow and by the air We must march upon the gates of his empire With the magic, we face A wicked evil he's embraced We must fight to set the Crystal Ponies free!

Grand Regent Unequaled Transcendent Eternal Oh, what a sight to see That you would offer up your armies and renounce your sovereignty At least hold onto your dignity And just surrender yourself and your power willingly We revoke your infernal doctrine Renounce the mantle you have laid Your laws, your rule, will be forgotten As your light is left to fade! Heaven's fury raining down Kneel before the aurora's crown Sun and shadow both will bow Living as my queen and I allow How could you fall to this That you would desecrate your kingdom bring them into this abyss Reverse this curse that afflicts them all Or in this battle you face, I promise, you will fall! Your emotions have left you blinded Would you just throw this peace away? Tonight, it ends, so loose their bindings Don't prolong this sad display! Heaven's fury raining down Cast aside this corrupted crown You forsake your royal vows For a crime I simply can't allow! Know that in the end, you can't make us relent We won't let you take away our love again For above all else, it's the only covenant I would ever keep and follow to my grave Once I simply thought, that we could rise above All the trials that we might face together But this dark descent consumed the one I love Return to me before this brings the end Heaven's fury raining down We can't ignore our heavy crowns We can make it work somehow If your pride would only just allow You sacrifice your fate, abandon our future You choose to desecrate, and let our love fade away But you won't win this day Despite your treachery No matter what you say The empire belongs to me Come to the darkness, all who have offered up Of their souls to me Into the starless tundra, you'll follow Your true and rightful king Come to the darkness, all who have offered up Of their souls to me Into the starless tundra, you'll follow Your true and rightful king!

With his final defiance The empire was all swept away Their spirits were drained, as his own soul was stained And suffer together his fate To lie in wait Outside time, far behind, shadow's veil For in their return, deep within they will yearn That their crystal hearts may prevail Heavy is the crown she wears Knowing the cost, the sadness she bears Left to ache while weeping for his fate Perhaps one day The shadow will be sent away When light will have won, maybe there in the sun The king will revive in its rays One thing's for sure As the ages move on The harshest of debts is to live with regret So chase what you love And fight on for the one that you lost
