An Original Song About Nightmare Eclipse (Warning: Slight vague spoilers for Pony POV: Dark World) · 3:35am Jul 1st, 2017
Hello, brothers and sisters. I am Madness and welcome to my kingdom.
This here is a little something I came up with for one of the most evil villains ever written: Nightmare Eclipse; the main antagonist of Pony POV: Dark World, written by the brilliant Alex Warlorn.
Warning: The lyrics contain vague spoilers for the fic.
Now here's the beat so that you know how it goes: AA B AA B AA B AAAA B. I imagine the A's as higher pitched and the B's as lower pitch. Get the beat in your head and enjoy. 
Rising from the ashes of the world that she had come to know.
World forever dying yet never dead. All part of the Master's show.
Corrupted by the seeds of chaos. From the ashes, a monster rose.
She had the chance to change it all, but that's not what she chose.
A hatred born through tragedy.
Revenge through a heartless strategy.
Had the chance and threw it away,
Just so she could relive that day.
Damned billions to endless pain.
Drove the ponies she loved insane.
Worse than the Devil, she wrote the scripts.
It's the reign of Nightmare Ecliiiiiiipse.
Nightmare Ecliiiiiiipse.
She struck him down and took the world into her grasp.
Had the chance to fix the world, but again made it collapse.
A fallen angel that walked down the darkest of paths.
Now, even the Devil is just another victim of her endless wrath.
Reversed time again. She isn't satisfied.
It starts all over again. There's nowhere to hide.
Reversed time again. It gets worse and worse.
Nothing can end her vengeful thirst.
Damned billions to endless pain.
Drove the ponies she loved insane.
Worse than the Devil, she wrote the scripts.
It's the reign of Nightmare Ecliiiiiiipse.
Nightmare Ecliiiiiiipse.
She swore to pay him back for all of eternity.
Swore to never let it go. Too blinded by hate to see.
A monster beyond redemption. Too far deep to be saved.
Hopelessly addicted to the vengeance that she craved.
Relishing the suffering of her foe.
Too full of hate to ever let go.
Uncaring to those caught in between.
She has declared herself the queen.
Damned billions to endless pain.
Drove the ponies she loved insane.
Worse than the devil, she wrote the scripts.
It's the reign of Nightmare Ecliiiiiiipse.
Nightmare Ecliiiiiiipse.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this little song I wrote. Who knows, maybe someone will see this and conduct it...... Maybe. 
Aaaand that's all for now. God bless you, bye bye.
Nightmare Eclipse? Would you care to elaborate?

Hmm, I guess the lyrics really are vague. Alright, I can tell you, but there will be some spoilers for the story... Ehh, you probably don't care.
In Pony POV, Discord is a complete monster who wants nothing more than to torture everyone forever (So, basically, what his debut made him out to be without the G rating to filter it). In Dark World, which takes place 1000 years later in an alternate universe where Discord won, Nightmare Eclipse is what Twilight became after finding a way to kill Discord. She activates the Nightmare transformation and uses a spell to reverse time every 1000 years. Rather than use it to fix what Discord did, she decides to use it to torture Discord by making his actions even more heinous and, therefore, making his eventual death more brutal every time. This goes one for several hundred million years and the billions of ponies and other people are tortured along with Discord. Heck, by that point, Discord, who is pretty much the Devil here, is just another victim; making Nightmare Eclipse literally worse than the Devil!
Perhaps now the lyrics make more sense?

They do. I just never read Pony POV so i was wondering who NE was.
Though the song is reminding me of the recent teaser for The Bridge's Ghidorah Arc.
4588511
Really? That's fascinating.
So, what do you think of the song itself?
4588513
The song itself is good, it fits the description of the character you spoke and works within the context.
4588515
Thank you.
I wonder what Alex will think of it? I left him a message about it.
4588517
Heck if i know. I'm still pondering about the Ghidorah Arc teaser.
4588519
Care to explain?
Thank you for this!
4588524
You're welcome. I take you liked the song?
4588520
The teaser itself is composed of a few short quotes that are gonna be stated in the future chapters(the quotes are usually color coded to identify who's the speaker, but here it's regular text so it gets even more vague)
And the last piece is an excerpt of a song, the lyrics carefully chosen to fit the context of what it's clueing us to yet at the same tame, mystifying us as to what's gonna happen. The excerpt is titled; Destiny of a King. Though I'm honestly not sure if it is referring to Ghidorah since the lyrics don't seem to match what has been recently shown of his character.
I think the Teaser may be hinting about SpaceGodzilla, though this is just my guess.
4588532
Well, if it is SpaceGodzilla, it's gonna get real!
4588526
I don't have an eye for lyrics, or an eye for sheet music, but I do recognize rock solid effort dedication and skill when I see it.
4588536
Why, thank you.
4588533
Do you have to be so spoiler blatant?
though the Teaser may be hinting at the possibility of SpaceGodzilla...screw it, why should i say anything?
4588540
Well, it's just speculation, so I don't think that counts as a spoiler.
4588545
But my speculations will inevitably reveal spoilers in order to give context on what these speculations have a a basis on, and at this point. I'm not telling you anything until you've read the full story.
4588547
...But you're not giving context here.
4588550
Point is, once you've fully caught up with current events, then we could talk more about The Bridge.
4588552
I... I'm so confused. 
Well, you keep bringing it up!
4588556
Yes! Yes! I know I'm to blame for this.
Changing topics, how is progress on your other projects?
4588561
Aside from The Pinkie Games, slow as turtle walking through molasses.
4588562
Still being distracted?
4588565
Eeyup. There's a million things going through my mind 24/7. That plus my ADD makes concentration... difficult to acquire.
I don't intend to work on anything aside from The Pinkie Games until I get out the next chapter of Saving the Siren.
4588568
I would try to offer advice, but i can't recall anything of note that could work for an individual of your condition, and even then. Effectiveness varies from subject to subject.
4588570
It's the thought that counts.
4588571
Perhaps if you're specific, i can work something out?
4588573
Hmm... Well, let's see.
I try to get myself to concentrate on the story I'm wanting to write by thinking about the story. I go over what I want to do and try to keep it in my head as I start to write. But then... it's kind of a Russian Roulette. It's like I have a spark and, right as I'm about to type, the spark goes out.
It's like me and my brain having a disagreement. For example: I was able to write A Flash of Lightning on the day I thought about it because my mind stayed on it. I'm also able to work on The Pinkie Games because it's easy for me to get sucked into it due to how much fun I have with it. But with Saving the Siren, it's like I start getting it, but then the spark goes out.
Usually, when I'm writing, it's like a dam. The words are the water pouring over. If I can get out enough words, the dam will break and I'll fly right through the rest of the chapter. But, right as I'm about to break the dam on this chapter, it stops!
That's about as good as I can put it.
4588578
I think i face a similar issue to this, and truth be told. I have yet to find a solution to this.
You compared this to a dam, so like a dam, we should find structural weakpoints so that we could collapse the damn dam!
Sometimes i can't help but laugh at my own dammed puns.
Though seriously, what conditions would usually cause this "spark"?
4588581
Yeah, we need some wreaking balls to take dam these downs!
I CAME IN LIKE A-
(Pinches Pinkie's lips closed) Shhhhhh...
Anyway, the sparks happen at random. I'll just be thinking and it will hit me out of nowhere.
4588582
We need to find a way to set the spark deliberately.
Out of all the times it has happened, what was the most common setting?
4588583
Huh, I never thought about it. Umm..........
I guess it's when I'm not doing anything.
4588584
Hmm so it has something to do with a state of serenity or boredom.
Were you usually alone when these things happen?
4588586
Yeah, pretty much.
4588589
Are you familiar with the concept of meditation?
If you could set up a place where you could isolate yourself, clear off any external factors that might interfere, and give yourself time to organize your thoughts then you might work towards one step of mending this issue.
Yeah, now i remember quite a few prominent authors stating that they needed a space "for their own little world".
4588594
Well, it's 4:06 in the morning and everyone's asleep. So, I could probably just try that right now.
4588595
Try this, and look closely at this "dam" you describe. Find any "cracks" or "leaks".
If there's a thing i remember about Autism. It's that those affected have a simpler time dealing with things by "visualizing" and using metaphor.
4588594
I'll comment again once I'm done.
4588596
Right. Here goes nothing...
