Tale of the Regal Sisters Part 1: Cold Fire(Hellfire) Lyrics

[Secretive 16]

The beginning of the Tale of the Regal Sisters, the first song I've written.

 

Luna tries to come to terms with her feelings. But her scars etch her soul, with burning cold she lived with for a long, long time....

Cold Fire (Hellfire)

Inspired by:

 

        Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty)

          Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin)

          Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)

          Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints)

Oh Equestri-ee-a

You know I am a righteous mare

Of my virtue I am justly proud

           Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father)

Oh Equestri-ee-a

You know I'm now so pure, there

in me is left no darkness I've allowed

           Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)

Then tell me, Equestria

Why I see her reigning there

Why their praises still scorch my soul?

           Cogitatione (In thought)

I feel her, I see her

Moon* caught in her aurora hair

Outcast alone into eternal cold

           Verbo et opere (In word and deed)

Like fire

Cold fire

This freezing in my skin

This burning

Desire

Returning me to sin

It's not my fault

           Mea culpa (Through my fault)

I'm not to blame

           Mea culpa (Through my fault)

It is Celestia

My sister lit this flame

           Mea maxima culpa (Through my most grievous fault)

It's not my fault

           Mea culpa (Through my fault)

If in God's plan

           Mea culpa (Through my fault)

He made the nightmare so much stronger than I am

           Mea maxima culpa (Through my most grievous fault)

Protect me, Equestria

Don't let her again cast her spell

Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone

Destroy Celestia

And let her taste her fires of hell

Or let the crown be mine and mine alone

-Interruption: Guard says Celestia has vanished from the castle. He leaves.-

Cold fire

Dark fire

Dear sister, it's your turn

Choose me or

Your pyre

Bow down or you will burn!

           Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Tia, please forgive me

           Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

I cannot forgive you

           Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

And in your own sun

You will burn!

-Discord's plants kidnap Luna. End scene.-

 

*: You could change, “moon,” to, “sun,” here. If you have sun, it gives the impression she’s still thinking about how envious she was when Celestia basked in the light of everyone’s affection. If you have moon--it gives the impression of the scene of Luna’s banishment, since that took place at night.

 

I've never worked with lyrics before now, so I hope this is OK.

 

If anyone thinks I should make more of this, let me know.
