As sisters we always were paired, Luna
Our fates were entwined from the start.
Our joys and our sorrows we shared, Luna
But now it seems we must part.

For now we are aged and gray, Luna
Our time in this world is nearly done;
But to us life's as dear as it was, Luna
When time itself first begun.


In the veil of the dark, we were born, Luna
The earth from the sea had just sprung.
Our love to each other was sworn, Luna
When you and I were young.

But now we are aged and gray, Luna
Our time in this world is nearly done;
But to us life's as dear as it was, Luna
When time itself first begun.


Through darkness and evil we fought, Luna
No army against us could stand!
In our wake, peace and friendship we brought, Luna
To spread, near far, through the land!

But now we are aged and gray, Luna
Our time in this world is nearly done;
But to us life's as dear as it was, Luna
When time itself first begun.


Many friends, we have had, who are gone, Luna
We couldn't forget them if we tried.
Their memory endures far and long, Luna
For love, that is true, never dies.

But now we are aged and gray, Luna
Our time in this world is nearly done;
But to us life's as dear as it was, Luna
When time itself first begun.


And still we abide by that oath, Luna
Our hearts beat as fondly and true.
Eternity beckons us both, Luna
I'm honored to share it with you.

For now we are aged and gray, Luna
Our time in this world is nearly done;
But to us life's as dear as it was, Luna
When time itself first begun.
Set to the tune of "When You and I Were Young, Maggie", (or at least, the version I had always heard. Apparently the original had the chorus rendered into the lyrics, but that's neither here nor there).

I also borrowed a lot of the "themes" from it also - since I thought it suited it well.

Inspired, in part, by the fact that alicorns may not be entirely "immortal", just seemingly so, and the fact that (eventually) they too will die.

I dedicate this to :iconibeatganon4fun: - who never fails to inspire me. ^_^
