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
