I never should have done this.
I made a terrible mistake.
Sister, please take me back.
Please!
How my deeds pain me as time stretches long
How could I have hurt them this way?
So rest easy now, my punishment's mine
The weight of my crimes are my own.
But into that stillness you brought me your song
With your voice my company kept
For your tired eyes and sweet lullabies
In exile I pay you my debt.
Once did a pony who gleamed like the moon
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
Dejected she cried,
“Surely there is no pony who loves me, or finds any love in my night.”
So great was her pain, she rose in rebellion
Against those who cared for her most
She let Nightmare fall upon all who she loved
And threatened to grip them in permanent cold.
Soon did her sister do what was demanded
And gave to the Moonlight her due
Breaking the Harmony, she saved her ponies
And banished her, as a wise ruler must do
Oh such is the weight of the crowns we wear, sister,
The duties we always uphold;
Oh may you forgive me that foolishness mine
And live on with no burden upon your soul
Lullay, Celestia, good night sister mine
Rest now in starlight’s embrace
May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams
And ease you your passage of days
May my apologies find you this night
And may my sorrow in kind
Celestia, you loved me much more than I knew.
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind.
The space now before us,
empty and forlorn
I never imagined
We'd face them all alone.
May these sunless seasons swiftly pass, I pray
I... I love you, I miss you,
all these miles away
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon that bed above the light
And know not of heartache, fear, nor gloom
And when I dream, I’ll fly away
and meet you soon.
Sleep...
Celestia, give yourself no blame
for the fault was mine.
But we will be together again soon!
I love you, sister!
