A life misbegun Even though it's been fun No longer I can stay I hear a call from far away
3.
Walking inside their circle Nothing but a tragic sight Liars, hollowed promise Never one of the same Your cascading futures are drifting away Trapped in a limbo of no beginning or end Ruthless, a meandering world A veil over their reality Wasted, every waking hour lying in wait Your cascading futures are fading away They are controlling you to be free
4.
Carried by the river in me Where I'm reborn they will see Facing unearthly demands Now there I am in the Badlands

The most wondrous sunset forever To be so far off, far off away Try to forgive Don't ever forgive Try to forgive Don't ever...

Skeleton paradise, realm of chaos, the strongest survives Born in hatred, a brutal vision for revenge A mental scar, the wounds are deep I won't be alone in this dark reality Deny Negate For my Absolution fueled by hate Defy Dominate And I Hell on earth I'll orchestrate I'll be the face... the face of horror I'll be the chaos... the chaos restorer I'll be the end... the end of the line I'll be death... death divine

I'm nearing the point of no return Climbing ever higher

The day has come for judgement See through the lies in an instant Painted world in violent shades of red Bodies fill the village of the dead Our power and their pain Dancing until we remain Don't stop the noise inside my head The fearful sound of violence Our power will sustain Devastate the tyrants reign Don't stop the voice inside my head The flawless sound of violence Look into our eyes if you want to know the meaning of hate Everything we lost came from blood, sweat, toil and faith They took a free ride to a place where you drew the line And so we brought you out from the depths of your self decline War cry Dictate For my Resolution fueled by hate Defy Dominate And I Hell on earth I'll orchestrate They will live for war, the way they die Bring on the taste of misery Violent the sound the fearless screams Here comes the pain here comes the agony I am reborn, I am the king I am the king of the Horde I am the face... the face of horror I am the chaos... the chaos restorer
11.
Hollow void beneath the skin Immolation burning from within Painted world in violent shades of red Bodies fill the castle of the dead Our power and their pain Dancing until we remain Can't stop the sonance in my head The perfect sound of violence Our power will sustain Devastate the tyrants reign Can't stop the music in my head The eternal sound of violence Deny Negate For my Conflagration fueled by hate Defy Dominate And I Hell on earth I'll orchestrate I am the end... the end of the line We are death... death divine

In the break of the morning Coming in with no warning Striking from up high Like the size of a city Comes the legion of horde From a different sky There was a torturous vision Of a deadly collision They watched in agony An inconceivable terror A celestial invader Innocent casualties Burning fire Screams of pain and fear Piercing higher Hell on earth is here Clouds are melting Life just drains away Darkness, death This: their blackest day! Obliteration, disintegration, It's all turning to dust From the force of the impact Everything they love has combust Their world begins to crumble It's all just a matter of time This is the ultimate chaos This is the end of the line Burning fire Screams of pain and fear Piercing higher Hell on earth is here Village ignited Life just drains away Darkness, death This: their blackest day! In the break of the morning Striking from up high This is the ultimate chaos This is the end Burning fire Screams of pain and fear Piercing higher Hell on earth is here Castles are crumbling Life just drains away Darkness, death This: their blackest day!

about

This concept album tells a tragic story set in a darker world of Equestria. Equestria - for those who don't know - is the world where My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic takes place.

The story centers around Spike, the young dragon, who was born in the land of the ponies. The pony who took care of Spike since birth was Twilight Sparkle who hatched his egg during a magic exam. It seemed the ponies stole eggs from the dragons. As Spike grew older he felt more and more detached from the ponies as he was both feared and bullied for being a dragon. Years later, he decided that this can't be the life meant for him. So he took off in the middle of the night, towards the Badlands where the dragons reside. Just as Spike begins to travel, he hears a voice deep inside of him, becoming more and more clear the further he goes. This is what act 1 is about.

Act 2 is about Spike arriving at the dragons home, who are known as "The Horde". The voice inside has drastically changed him and now he's determined to become a true member of the Horde; leaving his old life behind. As he climbs the colossal mountain, he stumbles upon a group of dragons a bit older than him. They questioned if he really is a dragon, due to his aura being all but menacing. Spike explained his situation and after a round of humiliating laughs, they decided to take him to the king of the Horde. Spike was brought in and judged by the king and his council. They suspected him of being a spy or another egg-stealing-thief. Spike said everything he could to prove his innocence but they were not entirely convinced. He was put through a harsh set of trials to prove his resolve. The trials were too daunting for Spike, but he kept trying for days. Meanwhile, he became friends with some of the younger dragons he met before. Starting to trust Spike and see his potential, they took him under their wings and taught him everything they knew. Many years later, Spike not only passed every single trial, he had fully grown as a dragon. With his loyal friends, he undertook important tasks and served the Horde as his family. Ultimately, Spike grew to become the new leader of the Horde. The council saw the new strength of the Horde and knew it was time to exact revenge upon the ponies' homeland and its Queen, who not only stole their eggs but also banished them a long time ago.

The first scene of Act 3 is from the perspective of Twilight Sparkle who has learned about Spike's new position and plan to annihilate his home. Too late to evacuate everyone; a sense of hopelessness falls over her as she knows there's nothing they can really do to stop the Horde. This leads into the next and final scene where the Horde arrives and mercilessly attacks the three main places of the ponies' homeland: these being Cloudsdale, Ponyville and Canterlot. In the end it could hardly have been called a war. Nothing remained but a scorched wasteland of a once green, vast and prosperous land.

The act ends with a certain character standing on the sidelines and gazing over the total desolation, when suddenly...
