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 the Nightmare fall on those she ruled

And threatened to grip them in permanent cold

Lullay, dear Tia, 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
Tia, you loved me much more than I knew
Forgive me for being so blind


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


Such is the weight of the crown that we wear, sister,
Duties we always uphold;
May you forgive me that foolishness mine

And live on with no burden upon your soul

Lullay, dear, Tia, 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
Tia, 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 love you, I miss you, all these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight

Safe upon that bed above the lights
And know not of heartache, fear, nor, gloom
And when I dream, I'll fly away to meet you soon

Sleep, sleep,
Sleep...
