You've got no alibi Cause everything you say is a lie You're gunning for half-past twelve It's deeper into your mind we delve The older sister of one makes two But you say she's coming after you A little lie lets the story unfold That little lie that keeps the story told A tall tale of ambition and power Luna's ruse is the one of the hour Your sister's mind has been bought and sold Now everypony thinks you're made of gold But what they don't know surely can't do harm It's better sounding Nightmare Moon's alarm A little lie sends her to the moon A little lie that gets discovered soon A little story, and you've got all the power Gone a thousand years with the tale of the hour You're telling vicious lies Your power knows no compromise You're telling vicious lies To be the savior in their eyes Nightmare Night descends upon the world Your web of lies and deceit unfurl With everypony looking to the sky Never knowing that it's all a lie You send the elements to beat her down Nevermind you're nowhere to be found Another lie only seals their fate For all time it's Nightmare Moon they hate You're telling vicious lies Your power knows no compromise You're telling vicious lies To be the savior in their eyes Your power knows no compromise To be the savior in their eyes
