Lyrics

 * [Princess Luna] 
 * Now the hour has come at last
 * The soft and fading light
 * Has crossed the west horizon
 * And has bidden us goodnight
 * And what a lovely night it is
 * To walk a moonlit field
 * To see the softer shades
 * That are by starlight now revealed


 * So why is it that now,
 * When all is quiet and at rest
 * When candles glow and all the world
 * Is at its very best
 * The ponies of Equestria
 * Should lock themselves away
 * To shun the moon and wait instead
 * For Sister's sunny day?


 * [Choir]
 * (In umbra Luna est)


 * [Princess Luna]
 * Am I so wrong to wish that they
 * Would see things like I do?
 * And am I so wrong to think
 * That they might love me too?
 * Why shouldn't they adore me?
 * Is it not within my right?
 * I'll not be overshadowed!
 * Mine is not the lesser light!
 * I've waited long enough now
 * For them all to come around
 * And though the Sun may plead and threaten,
 * The Moon will stand her ground


 * It comes to this at last:
 * I will no longer yield the sky
 * If they cannot love
 * But one princess alone
 * See, the Moon is rising
 * She has come to claim the heavens for her own


 * And all will know the wonder
 * Of my dark and jeweled sky
 * When all the world is wrapped
 * In an eternal lullaby
 * So say goodnight to this,
 * The final setting of the sun,
 * Tomorrow dawns in darkness;
 * The nighttime has begun!
