[Verse 1] With each day that draws to an end it's our turn to raise the night we work so tirelessly to paint a fine tapestry with pin pricked starlight we are the invisible princess the subjects hide away from our night's beauty ignored and unadored why can they not perceive what we plainly see? [chorus] descending into a corrupted obsession hearing nightmare's whispered temptation twisting our sadness into newfound spite why do our subjects shun our night? [Verse 2] after lowering our moon every dawn we're greeted by her mocking sun a suffering defeat endured every day our white flag to an invading nation we hear the dawn's jubilation it cuts us to our core the subject's cheers are the salt in our wounds celebrating that festering eyesore [chorus] descending into a corrupted obsession hearing nightmare's whispered temptation twisting our sadness into newfound spite why do our subjects shun our night? [Verse 3] Our sister's sympathy would just be pity an insult to our plight as the unsung defender of these lands with the sacrifice we offer every night She cannot ever begin to understand the subjects believe she is gilded perfection while we're just the lesser sister... its time we foment our insurrection [solo] [bridge] We feel the change as we don our armor with a new title to reflect our will We will leave them no other choice with our resolve of cold, hard, steel Our subjects will learn to adore us now Nightmare Moon has been born The night shall no longer be eclipsed by the dawn [outro] We shall not be eclipsed by the dawn! We shall not be eclipsed by the dawn! We shall not be eclipsed by the dawn!
