LAST EDIT...
If you'd like to listen to a MUCH better and improved version in the original pitch, please go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyj9_YJCMUw
EDIT-2-- Oh my gosh!! Almost 2,000 views??? I never imagined this.. Well, keep an eye out for the original rendition of this song with Luna's lyrics. It's MUCH closer to my actual range and won't have all the pauses because it's actual speed. Thank you all so much for your kind words, likes, and views ;3;

EDIT-- GASP-I made it on EQD? 8D The happiness abounds~ Thank you all for the acceptance and hope you enjoy it! Again, all credit goes to the amazing ponyphonic for the original work

Good evening, all!

Finally I have the time (or I make the time) to put something new up! Well, since my last one was "The Moon Rises", it's no wonder that I would be coming out with a companion cover of "Lullaby for a Princess" (a wonderful work by ponyphonic). But, instead of the traditional "straight-from-cover", I decided to attempt to make it in LUNA's perspective 8D *fail* The lyrics are designed to mirror Celestia's in the original song almost exactly, but again from Luna's point of view after being shoved on the moon. In this case, she's still technically Nightmare moon, but if you listen closely, you might recognize Luna in there...somewhere.

Didn't really do much aside from sing different harmonies, change the pitch around, and alternate the ending to a more 'dark" tone. The lyrics were my own creation with a bit of help from a few friends :3 Thank you all for your willingness to read through and hope you enjoy! HUZZAH FOR NEW MIC AND CHEEZY ECHO EFFECTS...effects...effects...

Lyrics:
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
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

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"

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

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 vegeance is nigh

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

"Why don't they adore me?" she thought
to herself, as the other had no right to boast
And that selfish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of I, who had needed her most

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 vegaence is nigh

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

May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe behind your veil of sunlight
You know not my sadness, pain, nor care
And as you dream, I'll break away and meet you there
Sleep...
