WOO! And I mean a WOO! This took over a month of planning, organizing, recording, rerecording, editing, and eventually finalizing to get THIS monster. But I have to say, that I'm quite proud of it.

Allow me to start off by saying that I LOVE this song. Ever since I heard it on the animated series finale, I knew I wanted to do a cover, and I knew it had to be about Nightmare Moon (because she is my queen). So I started with rewording the lyrics, got a few friends together, separated out the parts, and while I would have loved to have a different character voice for Cadence too, I am extremely happy with the result.

A BIG thank you to IMshadow007 for voicing Twilight and Celestia for me. It helped to break up the "same voice" complex I feared would happen if I tried to do them all. As well as a thanks to her boyfriend SF39 Productions for providing the vocals for Shining Armor! And of course the amazing artwork is done by Silverlunarscape. Check out ALL their links down below, as well as support the original release!!

Lyrics
_______________________________________


Luna:  Any moment now, your highness--
Believe me, I know
I've sunk pretty low
But whatever I've done you've deserved
Celestia: Luna
Luna: Quiet!
I'm the villain, that's fine
It's no fault of mine
As the sunshine is all they will serve
Celestia: Please listen!

Now it's time to rise up
Or it's time to bow down
And there's only one law to decree
That I'll keep my moon bright
cause I'm no lesser light!
And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
Ready as I'll ever be!

Twilight: Now it's time to step up
Or it's time to stand down
And the answer's not easy for me
Elements form the core;
Our 'Pwers will stop this war
Are you ready?
Spike: I'm ready
Manesix: We're ready!
All: We're ready
Twilight: Ready as I'll ever be...

Shinning Armor: Are you quite sure we can do this?
Cadence: Together we will, guarantee!
Luna: I'll make them see me!
ManeSix: Now it's time to repeat
Or it's all bound to fall
Twilight: Prove they can trust me
Manesix: And it's time to restore harmony!
Cadence: I'll save my home and family

Manesix: Darkness covers the land
We'll hope all goes as planned
Spike: And I'm ready
Twilight: I'm ready
Cadence and Shinning Armor: I'm ready

Nightmare moon: Ready as I'll ever be
