Ponyphonic - The Moon Rises Lyrics
Now the hour has come at lastThe soft and fading lightHas crossed the west horizonAnd has bidden us goodnightAnd what a lovely night it isTo walk a moonlit fieldTo see the softer shadesThat are by starlight now revealedSo why is it that now,When all is quiet and at restWhen candles glow and all the worldIs at its very bestThe ponies of EquestriaShould lock themselves awayTo shun the moon and wait insteadFor Sister's sunny day?In umbra Luna est (the moon is in shadow)Am I so wrong to wish that theyWould see things like I do?And am I so wrong to thinkThat they might love me too?Why shouldn't they adore me?Is it not within my right?I'll not be overshadowed!Mine is not the lesser light!I've waited long enough nowFor them all to come aroundAnd though the Sun may plead and threaten,The Moon will stand her groundAnd all will know the wonderOf my dark and jeweled skyWhen all the world is wrappedIn an eternal lullabySo say goodnight at this,The final setting of the sunTomorrow dawns in darknessThe nighttime has begun!Nocte! (night!)
