D E S C R I P T I O N
Celestia, Luna, and Cadence are incapacitated. Tirek threatens to takeover all of Equestria. Discord and most of the main 6 cannot fight. Only Twilight stands in the way between life and total destruction.

Hello again, and here's the 4th song to the EP "Ascension" (Coming September 2014) and this song is about Twilight. I've meant to get a song done in July, but due to numerous delays and Bronycon preparations, I've decided to release two songs in August to fulfill the monthly song queue. This one's by far the most difficult one to work on due to all the unfamiliar instruments in this song. For a country/rock singer like Haymaker, it's a worthy challenge.

Special thanks goes to Lavender Harmony for some mixing advice, and Fimbulin on some mastering advice. Also, special thanks to Haymaker for dealing with my desire for perfection and for the excellent vocals!

L Y R I C S
This force befalls the land
With unforgiving demands
Our forces needs to stand
We’ll battle ‘til the end

The sun is down
with moon astray
Our love is lost
In a world of hate

At the humble town,
You’ll find your strength
A spark will light
the darkest day

Fear is a choice, a product of minds
Its silence is so precise
Faith in your friends will turn the tide.
We call for all souls to unite

This force will test your head
With imagined chains
Our path is full of pain
and fate hangs by a thread

In the purest heart
There is a trait
That’s worlds apart
from the tyrant’s hate

Lead in her stead
You’ll gain your strength
At twilight’s peak
You’ll find a way

Fear is a choice, a product of minds.
This silence is so precise…
Faith in your friends will turn the tide.
With all our strength we’ll fight for life….

Our force must free the tyranny
of his reign
It’s your destiny

We’ll fight for our liberty
So surely
it’s your destiny

All brothers, sisters, mothers,
All fathers, cousins, lovers,
All orphans, friends and strangers,
Save them from all this fire.

At dusk the sparks will ignite
And you’ll see the truth inside
Empower hearts through sorrow
And you’ll find light in shadow

Our force must free the tyranny
of his reign
it’s our destiny

We’ll fight for our liberty
So surely
it’s your destiny
