The night is gone, and day has come
My work is done, as the moon is replaced by the sun
Retreating back to my own quarters,
backed up by supporters, who all follow my orders.
It's easy to be in control
but they don't know how I feel so lonely and cold
I've been gone for a thousand years,
and all their fears, they make me fall into despair
My own crown
stained by my past
it drags me down
a guilt so vast
Tried so hard
to undo my mistakes
but Nightmare Moon
is here to stay
I tried to tell them how I feel
I begged and kneeled but I have lost all my appeal
I tire of this pointless quest,
I need some rest, of me it's not getting the best
Just hope that this is all a dream,
not as it seems, 'cause this is becoming routine
Please someone wake me from this nightmare
'cause all their fears, they make me fall into despair
My own crown
stained by my past
it drags me down
a guilt so vast
Tried so hard
to undo my mistakes
but Nightmare Moon
is here to stay
Please listen now
Listen now, listen now to what I say
Please hear me out
Hear me out, hear me out, it cannot end this way
I can't go on
Let me out, let me out, let me out of here
I won't stay long
I won't stay, I won't stay, causing pain and fear
You're better off without me
you never liked the night
all you want is sun and Celly
not me who causes fright
My own crown
stained by my past
it drags me down
a guilt so vast
Tried so hard
to undo my mistakes
but Nightmare Moon
is here to stay
