The mirror cracked, now inky black-

It dared not meet her eye

And so she roared, compelled to scream,

Or else compelled to cry.

"What once was Luna is no more!

I am the Nightmare Queen;

The deepest pain, the deepest fear,

Such horrors I have seen

"And never once a word of thanks

For those I drive away,

On no, they save their love and praise

For white the light of day.

"You shun the stars, you shun the moon,

You hate all that I love,

And now as I look down on you

From silver moon above

"I'll let resentment eat my heart.

Why ever should I not?

You sent me, sister, here to rot

Though many years we fought

"The evils side by side, without

A word you banished me

And here I shall remain, but mark

My words I shall be free-

"Oh we shall meet again, and you

Shall pay for what you've done.

A thousand years I'll wait but you,

Though free, you have not won.

"One day I shall rebuke these chains

And cast your curse aside

Then reign my hatred from above.

Then you'll, my dear, abide

"In black this prison cold as hell

Where devils comb my mane.

You'll watch me spread my cobalt wings

Across the land and reign.

"The darkness, only friend of mine,

Shall pass with me the years

And it, you know, is rage, not pain

That brings to me these tears.

"I'll wait in chains, oh sister dear,

And someday you will pay-

And drown in black, consumed just as

The night consumes the day!"

They combed the hate into her coat,

The devils, laughing, cruel-

So one great sister of the sky,

But which, has played the fool?
