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

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

-Tia and Luna- May all your dreams be sweet tonight Safe behind your veil of moonlight/sunlight And/You know not of/my sadness, pain, nor care And when I dream/as you dream, I'll fly away/I'll break away and meet you there

Sleep...
