Lullaby for a Princess Luna's and Celestia's Duet

Текст песни "Lullaby for a Princess — Luna's and Celestia's Duet"

Tia-
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep

-Tia and Luna-
Fate has been cruel and order unkind

-Luna-
How could you have sent me away?
I sit here and gaze into stillness alone,
The darkness and silence pervade

But here in my prison, my thoughts they won't fade
Of power, and glory, and praise
Till your blinded eyes, can see your own lies
The stars will recount my last days

-Tia-
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"

-Luna-
Once was a pony whose moon shone so bright,
The stars were in awe at its glow.
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
who'd dare be asleep through this marvelous show"

-Tia-
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

-Luna-
Yet where were they all, her subjects she never
Caught sight of once shadows did fall
Their laughter and joy was but a hopeless dream
Which grew into nightmares as sun rays charmed all

-Tia-
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
Rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind

-Luna-
Wait now, sun princess, The night will arise
So keep not my moon in its place,
'Tia my judgement was not yours to give,
And soon now we'll both meet our fates.

Carry my rage, oh you shadows of night,
And carry my sorrow in kind
Sister, your deed hurt much more than you know
The time for my vengeance is nigh

-Tia-
Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew

-Luna-
The beams of another cast brightly on others,
whose love and affection it drew
And there that moon princess watched, shunned by the world,
as hate filled her heart and unhappiness grew

-Tia-
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host

-Luna-
"Why don't they adore me?" she thought
to herself, as the other had no right to boast

-Tia and Luna-
And that foolish/selfish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one/I who had needed her most

-Tia-
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind

-Luna-
Wait now, sun princess, the night will arise
So keep not my moon in its place,
'Tia my judgement was not yours to give,
And soon now we'll both meet our fates.

Carry my rage, oh you shadows of night,
And carry my sorrow in kind
Sister, your deed hurt much more than you know
May guilt plague you for your great crime
For the time of my vengeance is nigh

-Tia and Luna-
The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own

May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray

-Tia-
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away

-Luna-
My pain grows, I can't know
Are you still the same?
