It's quite interesting how many times Luna's Future was reworked - especially given how many people draw similarities between it and The Midnight in Me in EqG.

Despite the number of Luna's Future reworks, the lyrics appear to be either identical to the ones found in this demo or to the final song.

---

Differences with the final song:
- The melody is entirely different, except for in the "Whatever might have been" verse. Lines with a different melody (not including key changes) have been marked with an asterisk.
- The dialogue surrounding the song itself is different.
- Compared to Piano Demo 1, the song is only noticeably in one key.

Lyrics (adapted from MLP wiki):
Starlight Glimmer: Are you here to show me what [the] future Hearth's Warming Eves are like?
Princess Luna: No, [Snowfall Frost], for there are no more Hearth's Warming Eves for me to show.
Starlight Glimmer: Why not?
Princess Luna: [You are a powerful wizard.] You will succeed in erasing the holiday, as you wished.
Starlight Glimmer: And what happens?

I see a cold wind blowing through*
I see days neither fun nor free*
I see a future caused by you*
I see a path not meant to be*

The future should be filled with magic*
Dreams and wishes brought to life*
But the days ahead are dark and tragic*
No time for hope when all is strife

Whatever might have been
All the dreams [all] ponies share*
Because of you, Snowfall Frost
Now the future is a cold nightmare

Starlight Glimmer: Windigos?! They aren't real! It's just a little filly's story!
Princess Luna: They are all too real, Snowfall, and your actions will allow them to return. The future of Equestria shall be bathed in a blanket of eternal snow!
Starlight Glimmer: No! I never meant for this to happen! I didn't understand! I didn't see how important Hearth's Warming Eve was! Please, spirit! I haven't cast the spell yet! Is there still time?! I'm sorry! [I'm sorry!]
