Dies irae, dies umbra!
Gloria! Gloria! excelsis Celestia!
(storyteller)
Gather my children because now the time has come
To tell you of the angels of the dusk and of the dawn
The ones whose very voices hold sway over night and day!
And the ponies of their magic kingdom following their ways!
Land so bountiful, free and beautiful, filled with joy and praise!
Heavenly waltz of the sky, inspire the ones who see
All the hearts beat as one in harmony!
(Celestia then Luna)
By day the light and warmth bring ease to all their busy toil
The ponies plating for the harvest, from the fertile soil
By night, when work is done, the hours of rest are theirs to keep
To talk and laught and play with friends or drift away to sleep!
Held so tenderly!
Kept in harmony!
Loved by night and day!
Heavenly waltz of the skies inspire the ones who see!
All the hearts beat as one in Harmony!
Faithfully, side by side, the blood that bonds us deep
May we rule in love and unity!
(storyteller, Celestia and Luna)

(Luna)
Twinkling stars of every size,
Adorn the canvas of the skies
Captivate and mesmerize
And usher in the moonrise
Wait! Hold on, don't close your eyes!
Would you waste this evening so divine?
Would you lie and not arise?
And slumber through creation at its prime?
(storyteller) Ruling from a silent throne, her majesty ignored!
Leaving her tender breaking heart, to fracture all alone!
And so a wicked seed,
Began to grow and grow.
Twisting up her loving mind,
with sharp and hateful thorns!
(Luna)
Don't they see how hard I try?
Is my night not worthy for them?
Do they think they can deny my royal right?
Let's see them try to hide!!
(Luna)
No more will the moon be eclipsed,
By selfish, blinding, scorching sunlight!
Gaze upon the dusk of a new age,
The lunar throne should take its rightful place!
DIES
IRAE
DIES
UMBRA!
(Luna)
What is wrong my subjects?
Is the moon not to your liking?
Perhaps you just don't see
The endless sea of black,
And all of the stars so striking...
DO YOU DARE TO ANGER ME???
Is it so hard, to give up the way things are?
Do you not see the wonders I create?
Why do you hide, away from the night and stars?
Did I deserve your fear and hate?
Well no more, usher the coming storm
Let darkness flood the morn and swallow every wayward light!
Lay the seas and mountains under blackened heavens!
Bow now citizens,
Unto the throne of Night!!!
Rise now regal moon, all the world consume!
Tremble at the sight, the Eternal Night!
(Celestia) Become of you sister?
Don't you see your own soul wanning?
While this anger burns for me
Please give me a chance,
To save that is remaining...
And end this war, I plea!
Stow your scorn, call off your hellish swarm!
Our people won't be torn, because of your fiery spite!
Free them from your vengeance, or you'll pay the penance!
Must you make me cast the sentence for this blight???
Dearest sister Luna, what have you done?
Can't you see the monster you have become???
(choir)
Sound the battle horn, as all the world will mourn!
When family love's forlorn for warriors and might!
Beloved alicorns, the angels we'd adorn
With majesty, will war and we will bear the plight!
(storyteller)
New allegiance will rise, thirsting for demise!
The winds will carry the ring, of walls crumbling!
The stage is set for the clash, the magic is cast!
As the battle begin!!!
(storyteller)
Daybreak comes, on a cold lonely morn...
Caste in ruins, and tapestry torn,
As the moon finally sets, all the world's left to mourn...
Princess and people forlorn...
(Celestia)
Sister, my dear, I'm all on my own.
If I could have saved you, if I could have known...
Though much time will pass I'll love you evermore!
But the sunrise lifts their hearts from the dark,
The dawn bringin life, bringing hope!
We will rebuild, for or spirit is strong,
And Harmony will be restored!
(storyteller)
Nightmare Moon sealed away in a lunar prison!
Life will go on in the kingdom below!
All is set right in the world for a season,
Til her release when this story is closed!
THE STARS WILL AID IN HER ESCAPE!
RETURN TO WHERE THE BATTLE RAGED!
THE ELEMENTS WILL WASH AWAY
THE DARKNESS AND THE PAIN!
(Celestia)
My little ponies the horror has ended!
Luna will pay for the crime she has done!
Don't let her sins fill your mind up with hatred
Forgiveness is all I can ask of you now.
For the future is bright!
Golden age within sight!
If you let love lead the way!!!
Now the sunrise lifts us up from the dark!
The dawn bringing light, bringing hope!
We will rebuild, for our spirit is strong!
And Harmony will be restored!!!
(storyteller)
Listen now my children for the meaning of her fall...
A heart that's left abandoned causes sadness in us all...
So love your fellow pony, show a kindness unrestrained,
And Harmony will follow you
For all of your days!
(Celestia)
Now the sunrise lifts us up from the dark!
The dawn bringing light, bringing hope!
We will rebuild, for our spirit is strong!
And Harmony will be restored!!!
