THE SUN GODDESS SAGA:
A LUNAVERSE TALE WITH ENSIFERUM
PRELUDE
Aamunkoi
00:37
I’ve watched over their lives
Throughout their passing times
The harmony’s realm, how much it has grown
As its folk has cherished their home
And still I can hear Her cries cursing my name…
I rose as the sun will rise
I shine as the moon has shone
I’ve watched my kin, my realm and my world
Rise from chaos to a new dawn
And still I can see Her wrath burning my eyes…
Seen their sorrows, cares and grieves
And their love, the ties that heal their wounds
Free from the madness and greed
Yet still I can feel…
1:30
I feel Her…
The never-old memory of Her…
Her chains…
Our pain…
2:24
At times I look at the Everlight
And I hold back my tears
Of the never changing past
I have watched over them on my own ever since those grieve-stricken days
A half of a soul and a half of a heart
A half of a family
A half of a Sister
And I wish
And I pray:
To never again witness her wrath
Nevermore
Nevermore
3:27
“Me heräsimme talvipäivänseisaukseen, edessämme vuoden pisin yö
mutta yön päätti äkkinäinen aamunkoi…”
"Woken at Winter Solstice, ahead of us the Longest Night of the Year
But the Night was ended by the sudden Dawn..."
}~*~{
FIRST POEM
Sunrise
The longest night erased
Wiped out with flaming rays
Coercing back the day
Torn from its solar way
Upon the burning field
She sees the sign of cruelest dreams
Wished to never face again
The monster of sun
Fiery as everlight
Her blazing form so bright
Demon from ancient past
Alicorn with flaming eyes
Evading her imprisonment
Free of the harmony’s power
On earth she roams again:
Corona the Tyrant Sun
Madmare’s laugh
Burning down the night
Rebelling sun
Brings the scorching light
The Tyrant Sun
The banished god
How could you defy your judgment’s call
Tear down your prison
Defy your wards…
“I am the Everlight,
Constant and immortal.
No shade has force to bind down my might, for I am Sun!
Grown in my shining power
I forced thy chains to cower.
To rule is elder’s right
Thus I’ll reclaim the throne!
I’ll burn the stains and markings left by thy jealousy;
After me the reborn world.
I’ll tear out the hatred thou hast sown,
All of thy corruption will be perished in dust!”
Madmare’s laugh
Burning down the night
Rebelling sun
Brings the scorching light
Lost winter night
In the scorching light
She’s tearing down her sister’s world
Is there tomorrow
In tyrant’s realm…
}~*~{
SECOND POEM
Our Path
Siren Song
Gathered on the stream
Followed the unexpected guide
Heard the tempting song
Lured by the enchanting choir
In the shades of the Everfree
Echoes beyond the deeps
“Why not join us under the stream; we hunger for fresh meat…”
Before
We had seen the tyrant’s deeds:
Our loved ones taken by whim,
At the mercy of the usurper’s mad mind.
Undoubted ‘twas deemed:
We cannot let her reign free.
Under the endless sun
We head to the dark
We embark on the unknown path
Seek a way to reclaim land
Begin the reformation
To deter the insane lord
(By the) ancient harmony’s force
Rebel the Tyrant’s Throne…
Counter Chord
Before the predators’ stream
Last one stands free
Against the hungry sirens’ tones
She begins her song
Under the frozen sun
Hear the heartstrings’ song
By the stream of the melting snow
She fights the craving choir
Echo the dueling notes
For her companions’ lives
Heart shining strong with her love
She breaks the sirens’ choir
Pain and the Healing
Victim victorious
Caster falls under the battle strains
Willing to give her life away
Her unbroken loyalty
For her love, for her companions
For the world they called home
Face the field of looming curse
Dare its fate for the sick friend
Don’t yield for despair
At the cost of sacrifice
We will withhold together, win as one
We will not leave anyone behind
Not on our path
Reprise
Under the endless sun
We head to the dark
Daring the threats on the woods
Seek a way to restore moon
Begin the reformation
To deter the insane lord
(By the) ancient harmony’s force
Rebel the Tyrant’s Throne
}~*~{
THIRD POEM
The Reign (Thousand Years Ago)
I watched it happen
Slip through my watch
Blind in my own grief
I let her fall apart
Then the order’s called
With tyranny’s voice:
For everyone under the sun
To belong to the ever-watching eyes of god…
Before my eyes
I let her rise
Form the tyrant’s reign.
Sister mine
Lost her mind
Sun guarding the realm…
The broken bond
The fallen goddess
Tyrant arisen
In madness reign
Side by side ‘twas meant
Shared the care for the world
In sisterhood
Caressing heart
Stained by time
And now she has forced me
To choose from pain or wrong …
A fallen heart
A broken mind
Formed the tyrant’s shade
Sister mine
Where thou lie
‘Neath the madness’ veil…?
The broken bond
Shepherd and tyrant
Sisters at war
Over the reign
}~*~{
FOURTH POEM
Elements
As was in legends told
Of the fight between the kin
The ancient power unfold
It chained the elder’s light within
Upon the forgotten ruins
Wayfarers reach the journey’s end
Defying the curses of karma
Found their path through the woods
In the old halls of Moon and Sun
Search for the gems of oldest force
The elements born of the virtuous realm
The foundation of the peaceful world
The power stronger than gods
Once it shimmered, now waned
Concealed away from mortals
Resting in stone-cold veil
Gathered the five of the stones
But how to unleash the last
Only clues left in riddles
The answers hidden within the past
In the old halls of moon and sun
Were found the gems of oldest force
The elements born of the virtuous land
The foundation of peaceful world
Through the dangers we found the relics
To be deadlocked in the final line?
Confound the mentor,
Under what purpose
Nothing but questions left behind
In the old halls of moon and sun
Rested the gems of oldest force
The elements born of the virtuous realm
The foundation of the peaceful world
In the old halls of moon and sun
Frozen the gems of oldest force
The elements born of the virtuous land
The foundation of peaceful world
}~*~{
FIFTH POEM
Loss (Thousand Years Ago, pt II)
Scorched, barren ground
Where battle raged once
Over the sky
I can still hear her final cry
Where harmony once reigned
Its shards now lying stained;
I’ve maimed my own flesh and blood…
Forsaken my kin to the sun…
When new tomorrow dawns on this land
The morn whispers to my heart
Her far cries
…tears of it my price…
Rescued my ponies
Freed from Her oppression
But how can I move on from this night
When I’ve crushed along Her my own heart?
Kindness… wronged
Laughter… died
Generous… fell
Honesty… mocked
Loyalty… torn
Their Magic lost
Harmony gone
Broken bond
When the sun follows the night
I plead my hollow wish
To bear it somehow
The lone sister’s grief
}~*~{
Letter sent through scorching heavens under sun
Letter’s warning for the Elder’s claim of throne
Schemers gathering against their Goddess Sun
Searching the power to bring the Tyrant down…
FINAL POEM
The Truest Power
“I had heard this call
Of those who dare to mock my reign;
Before my once proud, old throne
Here do they hide, scheming against me?”
Waking at undawn of the frozen sun
Hearing the roar of corrupted beast
Cornered in the fight, struck by the flames
When beyond their reach descends the god
[“I was warned of the threat against my righteous throne,
But what do I see?
Fools, clinging in lies
Desperate and scared against the Rightful Power…”]
Arrives the tyrant
So blazing in her wrath
When faced against her foes
Her laughter echoes cold
“Elements you dared to claim
To rebel the foretold fate
Couldn’t you understand?
Only power they obey!”
Ancient power
Of harmony
Stained and petrified
Crushed by her flames
“Hallowed be your queen
Hallowed be my name
Witness my first judgment
Before you die!”
Call it courage or craze
She mocks the tyrant’s words:
“Before our ending lives
I’ll show what a joke you are.”
And sphere surpassing Her flames
In transcendental light
With a smile The Element wakes
When Laughter chooses Her claim
For beyond the raw force the true power lies
The ties formed in harmony, born of friendship
[“The greatest joy is in the joy to live.
Even in despair
You can always find something to live for.”
“I can keep going with the support of others,
And if they ever need me
I am there for them.”
“It isn’t about those who want
But of those who need;
You can’t expect from others
What you keep only for yourself.”
“I am what I am,
None will change that.
If I can see myself
I won’t hide it with lies.”
“There will always be fights and arguments
But it’s alright.
You must have sense to understand
And heart to forgive.”]
One by one they call their own:
Kind, Honest, Generous, Loyal bonds
Believe in your element, claim your fate
Open up your heart, accept Love
[“…I couldn’t believe before
In the magic of friendship
Not for the likes of me
From the friends like you…
Not until now.”]
The Truest Power found, claimed, complete
The fulfilled Elements strike against the god
Faith in their bond,
Trust in their ties,
Surpassing the frozen sun
The Rainbow of Light
