Tell me can you hear my heart beat roar inside my chest Though I try my hardest, I’m still stuck at second best And in the end, I know it’s true I fight away, but there’s little I can do Something like a virus, replicating in my soul Tearing my to shreds, my heart is dead, my blood is boiling, leaving me one goal And in the end, it brought me down But something new has come around So arm yourself against my fear I’ll be the shadow at your core For all my life, I’ve lived alone And now’s the time I fight for more Watch me keep the moon alive through your beloved day Try your best to stop me: go ahead, what could you say? For years and years, I’ve been number two And now’s the time where I say I’m through Standing in my way between the dreams I’ve always had Try to seize the day, but now you’ve made the nighttime mad So cast your spell, the shadow’s won And watch me overcome the wretched sun So arm yourself against my fear I’ll be the shadow at your core For all my life, I’ve lived alone And now’s the time I fight for more Celestia, your time has come I’m sick and tired of your lies You cast me off, you bring me down You’ve caused me tears and depressed sighs But now I’m hear to state my claim To fight away the dark and gloom ‘Till everypony knows my name And they will fear me: nightmare moon Seen this before, just let me be Don't fight no more, why can't you see? Open your eyes to see my pain; I'm just alone, I'm not insane... Can you f**ing see me? Silent as the night Close your eyes and listen What they hell you gonna do Here I am, alone, sis Sheltered from the light Tell me what I’m missing Tell me what I did to you Crying for redemption Wishing for a share Now you’ll pay attention What the hell you gonna do Stark manipulation Prove to me you care Left abandoned, wishing Tell me what I did to you
