The Fall (Lyrics)

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,825]

Here come more lyrics. This time, it's a rock cover that uses some aspects of the layout of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in C# minor (1st movement). This one's about the fall of Nightmare Moon.

 

 

The Fall (Nightmare Moon)

 

(Beethoven Moonlight Sonata intro for 3 bars, on fourth lead into 6/8 Medium-Hard Rock)

 

(Medium-Hard Rock for 4 bars then lighten)

 

Verse 1

Days, turned into to months

Months, into years

Years into decades

To centuries and then a millennium

 

Verse 2

Darkness filled her heart

A clash with the light

A simple request

Turned into a vengeance of fire

 

Chrorus

It was her plan

Spoiled by light

The sun and the moon collide, a fight

For whom shall reign the skies above

The night, shall reign forever more

 

(Short guitar solo for 2 bars)

 

Verse 3

 

Twas told the legend

The mare, in the moon

Nightmare moon, she was called

Brought fear and terror in the night

 

Verse 4

 

Just a simple request

Rejected by her older sis

Forced herself, unto the throne

Banished to the moon

 

Chrorus

It was her plan

Spoiled by light

The sun and the moon collide, a fight

For whom shall reign the skies above

The night, shall reign forever more

 

(Guitar Solo for eight bars then lighten)

 

(Spoken)

 

Elements of Harmony (with an echo effect)

To end the night of terror

Take six

Who are the chosen

 

(Getting a little heavier)

 

(Spoken)

 

Applejack, you are the one

The one who everypony can trust

You assured Twilight in fear’s eyes

You…represent honesty

 

(Short medium heavy riff and guitar solo for 2 bars)

 

Fluttershy, you are the one

The one who can be shy at times

But, you have compassion overloading as you tamed the beast

You…represent kindness

 

(Short medium heavy riff and guitar solo for 2 bars)

 

Pinkie Pie, you are the one

The one who spreads the spirit of joy wherever you go

You laughed away the fears and in fear’s eye

You…represent laughter

(Short medium heavy riff and guitar solo for 2 bars)

 

Rarity, you are the one

Despite your love for gems and riches

You gave up your lovely tail to a serpent in need

You…represent generosity

 

(Short medium heavy riff and guitar solo for 2 bars)

 

Rainbow Dash, you are the one

The one everypony can depend on

You stayed with your friends instead of following your hearts desire

You…represent loyalty

 

Bridge

 

And once combined the 5 elements

Produce the one to end it all

The true meaning is that…

Friendship is magic! (hold “magic” for 4 bars)

 

Chorus (Reprise)

 

It was her plan

To rule the skies

No longer her great destiny

It was the fall

Of Nightmare Moon! (hold “moon” for 2 bars)

 

(Chorus riff chord progression for 2 bars)

 

(Last 6 bars of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata 1^st movement, guitar solo over these bars, then begin to slow arriving at the end of the 6^th bar. Take last 6 notes of the third to last bar and slow them down. Hold last note with a heavy C# minor chord. Roll cymbals with Nightmare Moon’s cry, Crescendo to two final hits. Cut on final hit)

 

(Rainbow Dash: Awww yeah!)
