FINALLY! It is done! Lyrics and download are below!

It's another song where I decided to sing as Luna, even though I don't sound like her at all! I just like Ponyphonic's stuff!

Story, from the original "The Moon Rises":

"Just as she promised, Luna stood her ground and refused to lower the moon. Faced with the collapse of the delicate order they had worked so hard to build, Celestia was forced to do the unthinkable. Unable to fully utilize of the elements of harmony by herself, she used a fraction of their power to imprison her sister in the moon, saving the world, but at a terrible cost. The harmonic bond between sun and moon was broken forever; now, the elements lie dormant, awaiting new bearers. In time, the darkness in Luna's heart will begin to wane, but with it, so will the sealing spell that holds her in the moon. In a thousand years, she will escape, weakened but still powerful, and the world can only hope that new ponies will be found who can wield the elements and save Luna from herself.

But Celestia's thoughts turn again to the present...She thinks over and over of the things she might have said and done differently. But despite her own sadness, she also longs to reach out and comfort Luna, and in this mix of bitterness, tenderness, and very distant hope, she looks to the moon and begins to sing."

I decided to add a Luna section to this song, and here's my little story behind it:

Having been banished to the moon, the place she once loved the most, Luna has had a little time to herself. Though Nightmare Moon still is dominant in her, a piece still exists of the sweeter moon princess. In this respect, the kinder side of Luna is now locked away in two respects: in her body, where she is currently drowned out yet still struggling with darkness, as well as being imprisoned in the moon, unable to make friends with others. Perhaps this is what Celestia would think that her younger sister would be thinking at this moment in time.

I dedicate this remake to my younger sister, Sarah. We fought a lot when we were really young, but I'm so glad that things are better between us now! I'll miss you while I'm in Germany! (And I'm jealous of your singing voice! It's so much better than mine is!)

I hope you guys enjoy this little duet!

CELESTIA: Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep

LUNA: Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Assure her young sister at night
She'd smile and say, "One day you'll be beloved
Be realized and noticed for the moon's pure light."

CELESTIA: So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind

LUNA: Sister, my sister, why couldn't you see that
I hadn't been given my due
Why did you ignore all my cries for attention
And now, here in darkness, I really miss you

CELESTIA: But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine (Here in my prison I wait)
And rest now in moonlight's embrace (For the day I am finally set free)
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth (Why have you locked me away?)
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space (Are my thoughts true? You really hate me?)

Carry the peace and the coolness of night (All that I wanted was ponies' respect)
And carry my sorrow in kind (You weren't understanding and kind)
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know (You punished me for just wanting some friends)
May troubles be far from your mind (Why couldn't you open your mind?)
And forgive me for being so blind (Won't forgive you for being so blind)

CELESTIA: The years now before us
LUNA: Fearful and unknown
CELESTIA: I never imagined
LUNA: I'd face them on my own

CELESTIA: May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you;
LUNA: I miss you
BOTH: All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight
LUNA: May you be happy in your light
CELESTIA: And know not of sadness, pain, or care (I hope you feel sadness; don't you care?)
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there (And when I'm free, I'll fly away and meet you there)
Sleep...
