00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:51.700
I grew up in the city with a curse on my shoulders,
had it easy but I thought anything but learning

00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:56.310
was pointless The things that my friends wanted
to do I couldn't make time for Celestia's

00:00:56.310 --> 00:00:59.140
Academy for the Gifted, ignored 'em
I'm sorry.

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:01.430
I didn't know the path that lay before me.

00:01:01.430 --> 00:01:05.770
But that's all in my future from the point
that we stand on the night when I began my

00:01:05.770 --> 00:01:09.790
later journey to be an Element of Harmony,
a spark of amity

00:01:09.790 --> 00:01:15.040
Memories take away six years of my life, with
a cold wind that rushes through the streets

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.790
at night Made me shiver in the fear of the
things that I read about the return of the

00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:25.440
Night Mare God forbid, I'm chilled within,
I'm losing sleep again, going door to door

00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:31.630
with a bag to put candy in, I feel the wind,
as if I have ice for skin, and I'm feeling

00:01:31.630 --> 00:01:32.650
like I'd rather go in, not begin

00:01:32.650 --> 00:01:36.550
On this most unsettling night
Everypony dances til the morning light

00:01:36.550 --> 00:02:00.670
Songs to sing and games to play
To keep the dark side of the moon away

00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:01.990
When we were young the moon princess was just
a story, out of every pony no one had witnessed

00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:05.130
her in her glory
I knew though from my studies of the texts

00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:07.007
of old that I'd live to see the day that she
returned from her purgatory

00:02:07.007 --> 00:02:16.470
Was never one to be afraid of the mysterious
just another chance to see the truth that

00:02:16.470 --> 00:02:18.490
there's no fear in this but hearing this,
you would be terrified too, there's just no

00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:22.580
way you wouldn't wonder if the world was gonna
make it through

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:28.150
Others told me that I worried too much, that
I was crazy for believing that an old mare's

00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:30.611
tale would come true I wish I didn't believe
in this stuff but I knew that I was right

00:02:30.611 --> 00:02:37.930
and there was so much to do
Six years later I can still feel the fear

00:02:37.930 --> 00:03:24.490
but now it's thrilling and fun instead of
horrible and weird; this friendship is a force

00:03:24.490 --> 00:03:53.560
to be reckoned with, why would the worst always
decide to come here?
