So growing up, I was always a big fan of the Disney musical, cartoon, princess movies, epics, etc... (See some of my earlier ponifications). But Disney wasn't the only one making good animated musical epics at the time. And Prince of Egypt was an especially rare gem that didn't come from the House of Mouse that I think both the faithful and non-faithful can appreciate for something.
Plus, you can't beat a composition by Hans Zimmer...
Also, I totally didn't plan for this to come out right before Passover, it's just an odd coincidence.
This is the story of the Nightmare Moon rebellion, when the Equestrian citizens were at the peak of their suffering. Celestia must take final action and make the hardest decision of her life.

Lyrics:
[Chorus]
What have you done?
Why have you done this to your people?
Shadow all Equestria
So full of jealousy and hate
Bringing darkness, in all your wake
Over our streams, over our streets,
Over our homes, over our land!
Upon our orchards, on our trees
Assuring death to all our fields,
Poison our dreams, and haunt our sleep
Until you break, until you yield
Down with your storm, your wicked form
Step off your throne
[Celestia]
Once I called you sister
Once I thought you loved
All that we had
Why did you hide your anger?
[Chorus]
You send your thunder from the sky
You send your fire raining down
[Celestia]
And even now, I wish judgment
Fell to another
Because this final sentence I must pass
Is the last thing that I wanted...
[Chorus]
Trap us in an eternal night
O'er every field, o'er every town
[Celestia]
This is our home!
As you torture our great nation
No, I cannot stand aside
None of them deserve to suffer
For your jealousy and pride!
[Chorus]
Harmony lock away your sin
Banish your eyes from all our dreams
Strip all your power on the moon
And send you far away unseen
May the sun scorch, your blackened soul,
Step off your throne!
[Celestia]
You who I called sister
Why retaliation, you incite?
[Chorus]
May the sun scorch, your blackened soul,
[Celestia]
End this endless night
[Celestia and Chorus]
Step off your throne
[Nightmare Moon]
You who I called sister
Why did you steal the people for your own?
And make them hate my darkness?
[Chorus]
Down with your storm, your wicked form...
[Nightmare Moon]
You're why my heart is hardened
From here and on the moon is all they'll know
No more sun in sight,
I will never end my endless night...
[Celestia & Chorus]
Step off your throne.
[Nightmare Moon]
I will not...
[Celestia, Nightmare Moon, and Chorus]
End my (this) endless night!
