Lullaby For A Princess is a fan-song created by Ponyphonic in 2012. In 2015, Warp Out released a video for it.
Queen Celestia sings a song to her sister Luna, who is imprisoned in the moon. The lyrics convey Celestia's sadness over banishing her own sister and realizing the problem too late. The song also expresses Celestia's unwavering love for Luna, despite the latter's rebellion and transformation into the villainous Nightmare Moon.
Despite it being a fan-song for a children's cartoon, and spawned many covers (not only in English), as well as two, following the same melody, with lyrics showing Luna's perspective: "Luna's Reply" (by msikarishipper) and "" (by Faux Synder). It also has multiple parodies and covers.
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own, the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
'Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
Lullaby moon princess, goodnight sister mine
Rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind
Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most
Lullaby moon princess, goodnight sister mine
Rest now, in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind
The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own
May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you, I miss you
All these miles away
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep
