The Long Night
HeyLasFas! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Celestia ran as fast as she could, averting her eyes from the chaos occurring around her.
Ponies everywhere either screaming in terror, or crying in fear.
A dark rendition of her sister overcoming the monarch
All that remained in her head was the voice telling her to run.
An idea.
A powerful tool to cleanse her sister of the darkness.
This was her now her main objective. Nothing else.
Reuniting the Elements of Harmony.
The thought of using the Elements again was surely a risky idea
Never before has it been used against an alicorn.
Whether or not it would work to save her sister was still unknown.
All she could do was try.
And she will.
The lyrics to "The Long Night" by HeyLasFas! depict Celestia's desperate attempt to save her sister from the darkness that has overtaken her. The chaos and terror around her are palpable as she runs, trying to avoid the worst of the destruction. In her head, all she can hear is the voice urging her on, telling her that she needs to keep going.
Despite the dangers involved, Celestia decides to try and use the Elements of Harmony to save Luna. However, this is a risky move, as it has never been used against an alicorn before. She knows that there is no guarantee it will work, but she is determined to try anyway. The fate of her sister and the safety of Equestria depend on it.

I know it's been years since you uploaded this, but thank you so much for doing so. I've had the ghost of a melody in my head for weeks and couldn't remember the name or the artist of the masterpiece, despite having listened to it on repeat far more than was healthy during my high school days!

It's not on Bandcamp anymore so this is the only place on the internet this exists now. Downloaded, thanks. I haven't listened to this in ages but suddenly Lucid was in my head again.
