• Lullaby for a princess (Ponyphonic)


    Fate has been cruel and order unkind
    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

    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"

    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

    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
    Forgive me for being so blind

    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

    But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
    Takes hold of the mind of its host
    And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
    The destruction of one who had needed her most

    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

    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
    I love you, I miss you
    All these miles away

    May all your dreams be sweet tonight
    Safe upon your bed of moonlight
    And know not of sadness, pain, or care
    And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there

    Sleep... Sleep... Sleep...
