> Story of the Moon > by Moonlit Oasis > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Remember > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My name is Luna, I'm the princess of the night. I rule over the dark, And shadow things from sight. I control the galaxies, I made the Milky Way. The night sky is my canvas, Behind the light of day. I've created stars, And given them a glow. Arranged them into patterns, That fables soon would show. My ponies have these star maps, And use them to create, A way to travel onward, To find a new landscape. I'm a fraction of what I once was, Before I met defeat. When I thought that if I took the day, My night would be complete. I know now that I'm loved, And I know that I've been missed. I wish I knew so long ago, That I'd end up like this. A thousand years ago, I got trapped inside the moon. Because I was so angry, I though night was tossed and hewn. The ponies didn't love me, I was a creature in the dark. Something to be scared of, Something to be marked. My sibling had a war, With me, her only sister. I led the attack, While she was the resistor. She'd wept and pleaded with me, And said she would not fight. But I ignored her anguished cries, And stuck with all my might. She'd fallen hard against the stone, It stunned her for a while. But she got up with teary eyes, And sent me to exile. While I was causing havoc, She thought back to a tree, That defeated Discord and, Restored that harmony. The last thing I ever saw, Were tears inside her eyes, As she gazed up sadly, And whispered her goodbyes. I don't deserve forgiveness, Don't think I ever will. I caused so much misery, And even tried to kill. Forever more, this will be, My ultimate regret. If I could I'd change the past, And just hit the reset. But I can't, what's done is done, It'd be best not to dwell. I for one feel terrible, But Tia does as well. I owe it to my sister, Who saved me from my fate, To be a heartless monster, Only filled with hate. Were it not for her, I would not be here. Consumed in my own darkness, Living life in fear. Although I've made great beauty, I'm not a perfect soul. I still have my errors, And each one left their hole. My little ponies need me, In truth, I need them to. We both have suffered much, From the sky of deeper hue. I'll leave this tale with you, And hope that you can see, Envy won't reward, You could end up like me. My name is Luna, I'm the princess of the night. Remember what I've told you, As you fall asleep tonight. > Dreamwalking - Scootaloo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dreamwalking - Scootaloo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scootaloo, you try so hard, And yet you cannot fly. It's always been your dream to go, Soaring through the sky. You hold on to the hope, That one day your wings will grow. So you can rise above them all, And stop watching from below. You look a little down, And I can understand. Instead of soaring in the clouds, You're living on the land. Well I am here to tell you, Don't wallow in despair. To be a special pony, You don't need to fly in air. Ignore all the labels, What counts is what's inside. A super special something, That nopony's denied. You've got many other talents, And so do all your friends. Just practice what your good at, And touch up the loose ends. I know you've heard this, But I'll tell you anyway. A cutie marks within you, What you love to do each day. I fear your dream is ending, But before I leave, Please take my words to heart; There's so much you can achieve. > When They Were Young > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When they were young ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hush! Listen now, Can you hear the sound? Of the pony sisters, And their whispers, As they play around? Quietly conversing, Adventures what they seek, They have no fright, Their eyes are bright, For neither one is weak. Together they will run, And hide and skip and dance, And all their fun, Has just begun, They say as whilst they prance. They'll be there for each other, For each the other's fond. For every day, That fades away, They share a special bond. Both the yin and yang of life, Together in a whole, Both so fair, And filled with care, Yet each a different soul. Look now! See their eyes, That droop in need of sleep, They'll rest once more, Just like before, And in their dreamland keep. > Bad Harmony ~ My version > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bad Harmony ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ever on and on, we continue circling, Trapped within a maze, and a dark chaotic entity. Fastened by the strings, with the master puppeteering, Us because he can, for all eternity, -and Playing with our mind, deep inside, I never thought, I'd be stuck inside the twists, with a grand disordered entity. Who tells me who I am, is what I have always sought, Trapped within his game, for all eternity, -and Maybe it's not real, for what else could it be? But a cruel and twisted prank, where the jokes been played on me. Everything seems wrong, when the honesty has lied, And everything is bleak, when the laughter's dead inside. My trust has been betrayed, by the one of loyalty, And when I called for help, no generosity. Undaunted by the rest, her kindness swept away, And now the magics gone, our color fades to grey. Will the chaos every stop? Will the madness go away? Will I ever come to terms, with the changing night and day? Though I want to point the blame, I don't feel as if I can, My destiny has failed, it'd be better if I ran. My color fades away, and I feel i'm dead inside, I want to be alone, I want to go and hide. If I got another chance, and you asked me what i'd do, I'd help them find themselves, and I'd show them what is true. Ever on and on, we continue circling, Trapped within a maze, and a dark chaotic entity. Fastened by the strings, with the master puppeteering, Us because he can, for all eternity, -and Playing with our mind, deep inside, I never thought, I'd be stuck inside the twists, with a grand disordered entity. Who tells me who I am, is what I have always sought, Trapped within his game, for all eternity, -and Maybe it's not real, for what else could it be? But a cruel and twisted prank, where the jokes been played on me. Everything seems wrong, when the honesty has lied, And everything is bleak, when the laughter's dead inside. My trust has been betrayed, by the one of loyalty, And when I called for help, no generosity. Undaunted by the rest, her kindness swept away, And now the magics gone, our color fades to grey. I've found a new resolve, and I see that I was wrong, I've got the save them now, or else everything is gone. I'll tell them who they are, of the love that they should feel, Remind them of the past, and of everything that's real. Through the power or our bond, I can help them find their sight, To cast away the dark, and step into the light. Now my fears are gone, I saw what I couldn't see, The friends I needed most, elements of harmony. > The Beast is Taking Over > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beast is Taking Over ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A stirring deep inside, Another to abide, It cannot be defied, The beast is taking over. Dark trendils that uncoil, A soul of great turmoil, The anger filled with roil, The beast is taking over. Anguish from the start, Deep within the heart, From being torn apart, The beast is taking over. A scream that comes within, A heart as cold as sin, A fight that's hard to win. The beast is taking over. Between not one but two. The princess and the shrew. But who will make it through? The beast is taking over. A tear withing the soul, Now ambushed by the ghoul, Two pieces of a whole, The beast is taking over. Losing will of might, Can't return the fight, Wanting endless night. The beast has taken over. > Return of Harmony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return of Harmony ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Residing deep within the moon, Lives the darkest mare. Face imprinted as a rune, Unseen as maiden fair. Her prison she'll escape from soon, And taint the peaceful air. Though her pain was high and shrill, The hope she'd not refuse, Boldly lived inside her still, Refusing to transfuse. Pushing back her darker will, Allowing her to choose. The time she needed hadn't come, Within the very start. Her darker side had still owned some, Inside her tainted heart. Yet friendship grew around her from, Light she'd once torn apart. She held strong in her legacy, Though banished to the dark. And in the end she did break free, When friendship hit its mark. When elements of harmony, Ignited with the spark. > Banished > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Banished ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cold, helpless, Alone, scared. There's no pony... Anywhere. Silence, quiet, No more sound. Nothing moves, Or stirs the ground. Barren landscape, Tainted air. Tension rising, Hard to bear. Days go by, Years follow. Each one empty. Each one hallow. Inner turmoil, Conflict from, Sister harmed, When vengeance come. Time to ponder, Time to think. Sorrow rises, Anger sinks. Reflect, regret, Self confess. Finding faults. Wanting less. Shedding tears, Seeking light. Having none, Endless Night. Slowly waiting, Mental strain. Just enough... To go insane.
