It's calm for a little while, then back to routine
The joy in a filly's smile: the purest I've seen
And I'll watch them grow again, and I'll watch them pass

The earth will recleanse itself, a new world at last

Aphelion sunset comes so night can regale our throne

No harmonious elements will stop us this time
The sun hits its furthest point: it's frozen in stone
Aphelion sunset brings perihelion night


And I shine as bright again, with me she confides
Sister sleeps and slowly weeps, her student has died

And she's lived a mortal life, and she too must pass
The earth must recleanse itself, a new world at last


Aphelion sunset comes so night can regale our throne
No harmonious elements will stop us this time
The sun hits its final point: Celestia's gone

Aphelion sunset brings perihelion night

(guitar solo)


Perihelion sunrise comes, and the sun comes to reign
And I can go back to sleep, it's calm once again
