This is a parody of Ponyphonic’s “Lullaby for a Princess” which tells the sorrowful tale of Cadenza, who had to be trapped beneath the castle in crystal caves. It takes place directly before her soon-to-be sister in law finds and rescues her!

DISCLAIMER:
This video is a PARODY with mature themes. Viewer discretion advised!

I had spent 3 months drawing each image by hand and piecing together the song as a whole. Newly performed and remastered, I am delighted to present to you all a project that was very near and dear to me when this channel very first started!

Lyrics:
Here in the darkness I wait all alone
How can they be fooled this way?
My heart breaks in two, being without you
The hope in my soul fades away

But into the stillness I send you my plea
Don't be fooled by her lovely face
For though it's like mine, so gentle and kind
She wears it to bring me disgrace

Once did a pony spread love where she went
But longed for a love of her own
Then he gave her reason to celebrate life
She knew that her heart finally found a home

So blinded by love,
she saw not the signs of her doom that was sure to befall
And a selfish Queen cast her out of his life,
In hopes to use evil to conquer them all

(Chorus)
Oh Shining Armor dear love of my life
Don't fall for her smile and grace
Find me below you awaiting your call
Searching for hours and days

Please know I love you and I will not stop
Until I am safe with you there
We'll conquer her darkness and find true love's light;
protection for each colt and mare.

Soon did that pony realize her mistake,
Too late trapped in Canterlot's mines
Queen Chrysalis had all the love she could want
She cackled, "You will not escape here in time."

The wedding she dreamed,
Now cast into darkness:
The plot of that Changling's design
And no magic spell could escape this dark place;
She'd have to watch her Shining Armor's decline.

(Chorus)
Oh Shining Armor dear love of my life
Don't fall for her smile and grace
Find me below you awaiting your call
Searching for hours and days

Please know I love you and I will not stop
Until I am safe with you there
We'll conquer her darkness and find true love's light;
Protection for each colt and mare.

Being alone is more than I can bear

The danger before me;
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined I'd face them all alone
May these endless caverns
Lead me out at last
I need you; I miss you
I'm frightened and outcast

Keep everypony safe tonight
And keep your protection strong and bright
I'll follow my love like a guiding light
And someday soon I'll be with you
And make things right

Soon. Soon. Soon.
