Drapery Dressed halls of black Parade of sorrow Through brimstone streets The black gala is near Burning bright Violet candles of ritual Into the castle The sarcophagus goes The black gala is here The mourners have gathered for their dead Weeping in rows upon the cobblestone Crying tears a darker shade of red O’er the halls that have become her hobbled home Walls alight with indigo flames A somber mood within this fortress Grey clouds resting overhead Cover the dead Princess in her morbid dress We are gathered here today To say goodbye to a villainous tyrant We deliver her body to decay May the goddess judge her violence Suffering a thousand cosmic lashes Into eternity her effigies rust Ashes to ashes Dust to dust
3.
Down the aisle draped in black Funeral chants and a choir wailing A lament for the dead goddess Enrobed in indigo sails Mourners gather for the spectacle Pallbearers arrive single file The sarcophagus opened wide A lunar corpse displayed before them
4.
Twas the onyx cathedral in the Everfree forest Where the two of us once ruled together Over this realm In the ages since my violent upheaval She has fallen into melancholy decay Crumbling ruins, a memory of a bygone era Seems no better of a place To lay my sullen corpse to rest Buried in these walls My grave of stone Buried in these walls My mausoleum This castle, a monument To an ideal held by myself in a past life Shall now hold my body for the remainder of eternity And Luna, my better half Shall know that I pose her no threat For I am interred in the ancient castle As dead as dead can be As dead as dead can be
5.
Through trials of celestial plague Tribulations of a new age Perseverance after physical death Still my dying soul draws breath Wait not for the end to come Snuff me out, this life is done Send my spirit from this tomb Let me rejoin the lunar womb Reign forever morbid My corpse a feast for corvids Split in two, a sundered queen Banished into space unseen Stellar wanderer! Nyctogeist incarnate! I will rule my own death I am not dead
6.
Wading through a marsh of stars I feel as though I belong to something else Something from which I was severed I held a greater purpose in life And now here I drift through an endless tide A connection forged in the light of a dying sun Now broken and wavering Torn in half by a band of villains May the night sky swallow those fiends whole I suppose this is the world of death Beyond the veil of reality I, the soul of something that now rests eternal A bliss that I shall not enjoy For that is the curse of the night’s spirit The ghost of a dead moon Here awaiting my personal oblivion At the boundaries of astral entwinement Destined to remain sleepless forever Welcome to my ethereal waking Hell
7.
Adrift in a sea Of starlit beauty My spirit, alas Torn from its roots Amongst dark matter Floating endlessly Here I shall remain Mesmerized and divine Where moons vanish Beyond the complex horizon Towards bitter worlds Unseen by lower forms Outside all realms A holy perspective In the blackest heavens Thoughtful ashes Blowing in cosmic winds Forgotten earthly body Spiritual forms Forever unbreathing Comfort Comfort Comfort Comfort
8.
I am the nocturnal child I am the force of darkness I bring the night upon the world And bathe in the light of stars Immerse into the catacombs of infinity Join me in a journey towards the vast unknown From whence I came I shall return soon Lay my corpse Unto the moon From whence I came I shall return soon Lay my corpse Unto the moon Doomed to die in daylight hours Due to sacred resurrected power Now forever my ethereal form Wanders the void of space Immerse into the catacombs of infinity Join me in a journey towards the vast unknown The burden of a physical form No longer shackles me I am free to become one With the goddess that I once was Immerse into the catacombs of infinity Join me in a journey towards the vast unknown From whence I came I shall return soon Lay my corpse Unto the moon From whence I came I shall return soon Lay my corpse Unto the moon

Reestablished glory of selenic might Through a trial of perpetual night Witness the nocturnal bloom of nature Once lost to the power of diurnal hatred Bring forth the goddess of stars See this spherical beauty of ours Gone are the times of darkness Return to the days of stark contrast Returning glory of the moonrise Ascending the mountains of ice Dead harbinger of a shaded demise Now a reminder of defeated plight
11.
Darkened skies relent their purpose To the old light of the horned god Parting the black clouds of anger To shed the sun here and abroad Burn away the curtains of hatred And release warm rays upon the land For the power of gold cloven hooves Our realm will gladly stand Divert the gaze of all bystanders Await your eyes to adjust See the hidden splendor before you Driven away by nightmarish disgust Spread your alicorn wings and fly Light the sky Warmth shall return to us Once more as it had been in the past Though history always repeats We knew this difference would not last Awaken to the morning anew Celestial sphere of giving life Praise be to our holy princess For ridding us of nocturnal strife Spread your alicorn wings and fly Light the sky Spread your alicorn wings and fly Light the sky
12.
Though I am of the night And she is of the day Still we are sisters who light the way I pledge my life to thee A country of the free and brave And I shall defend it until I hear the call of the grave Two opposite ends of the spectrum Together to form a familial bond And we will lead this nation into prosperity and beyond You cannot ask too much of me I have my life to give To serve the folk who I have wronged and help them live Ask not what you can do for Equestria Ask what Equestria can do for you Dichotomy of celestial spheres We're not so different, you and I You brought me back from the dark side And now I must repent for my lies

Welcome Home 05:23
I have come back to life The moon, she lives again No longer chained to evil No longer enslaved within I return to my lunar throne Where I once ruled before I see now with clarity That I have become something more A child of the darkness Borne unto the light Sibling blinding guidance Leads me out of this plight I prayed for forgiveness And it I have received I am truly whole now I am your lunar queen Oh mother, what things I've done I embraced the darkness when I should have run I repent for every rotten thing I've ever done I stand before my subjects bare Can you forgive an old jealous mare? I serve you all as a ruler just and fair O joyous day I am myself again Reborn from the grave Where my black corpse stands Alongside my sister Rulers of this realm Dearest inner self Welcome home
