Adagio Dazzle

The gems glitter like blood in the sand
Sparkling freedom, calling to me.

He told me they would only grow with discord
He laughed when he told us that
I heard they turned him to stone.
But according to the ponies who saw him
He’s still laughing.

I wonder if he thinks we’re going to help him?
Like anyone would be that stupid.

Almost as stupid as the ponies.
They didn’t even realize
There was a monster there
Until it was too late.

It was easy getting her to run.
I told her that they knew
That they had seen her
That they would hunt her
Unless she hid with the ponies.

I didn’t expect her to kill that bat
But that was easy, too.

When the other bat found her,
And heard about her princess
I told her that one of the other bats did it
To buy favor with the bonehead.
“I saw it all from the water,” I said,
And she believed me.

All they needed was one more spark.
It was too bad only that old pony
Was down by the docks.
She was always good for a fight.

It would have been better
If it was that singer
Who got Sonata to sing
But she might have seen
And never forgave me.

I need her.

Tonight, the gems glow.
There’s no escape for them.
No ships are coming.
Nothing but fighting.
And nightmares.

I heard that the other princess
Is weak from fighting her sister.
All that is left watching the ponies
Is some old unicorn
Whose beard drags on the ground.

They say he is a great wizard
But these stones are full
Equestria is full of strife
The bats are fighting the birds
And the boneheads.

And all I can do is laugh
And sing.

It will be easy.
