The story starts with the Princess of the Moon
Before she went insane, wanted everypony's doom?
When the ponies ignored her and slept instead of played

Luna sought some attention and made her royal day

Lunar Harvest

Dress as what lived in the shadows
For acceptance
She scared them if spirits ran low


Time passed The facade was forgotten
Her form was feared as a legend

Luna broken and beaten
Became what ponies believed in


It's Nightmare Night, Shut your doors tight
Don't pause in fright or you'll feel the bite
Of Nightmare Moon She'll take your life

Or so they say...

Once every year isn't enough to stop the pain

The time she spent on her sky felt like it was in vain
The mask that she wore on every Lunar Harvest
Became the one she used in? her conquest


Nightmare Night
Dress as the evil from the shadows

Only Moonlight
Now the ponies will all know


Everfree creatures
Are roaming free
So say the legends

Of the Nightmare's decree

It's Nightmare Night, Shut your doors tight

Don't pause in fright or you'll feel the bite
Of Nightmare Moon She'll take your life
Or so they say...
