This song is really special to me. As some of you know, much of my interest in making music began with my love for progressive rock. My favourite character is also Starlight. Her place in the Homeward story is brief but incredibly important. The story in the video is abridged from the full thing. You can check out the full album and fanfic in the links below. Penumbra is also available as a single.

In the Violet Nightmare
She cries out in pain
When the rough of sand
Is sweeter than the blame

A circumstance turn sour
Armageddon by the hour

And I'm so alone

And deep within the fortress walls
The memories are lost again

And all that's left
Is the blame of the end

If silence could speak
For a moment

You could hear her say

When the wind blows
That's a warning

But when the storm comes
That's the end

Oh in a pool of blood
She moves on moves on

And stepping in the room
At the ardent crossing

Equestria has seen from time to time
The world is near to end
And the heroes always bend

Whats the point of saving the world
If the greatest villain is you

I was the one who had the dream
Don't know a thing about me

I'm just a penumbra
Of my former self

Just take a look at the mess you've made
You don't know anything else but how to fake

These thoughts torment me day to day
Equality congeals strange

And who are you to deny me?
I know everything you think.

Nopony's ever known a peace
That you offer onto me

And What of all the pain you've caused?
What about the lives you lost?

None of that will stop me now
From trying hard to make amends

Fuck you
You don't know the half of it

There's naught to gain from ecstasy
That can't belong to me

I was the one who had the dream
Don't know a thing about me

I'm just a penumbra
Of my former self
