[Intro]
You've got no alibi
Cause everything you say is a lie
You're gunning for half-past twelve
It's deeper into your mind we delve
The older sister of one makes two
But you say she's coming after you
A little lie lets the story unfold
That little lie that keeps the story told-old-old

[Verse 1]
A tall tale of ambition and power
Luna's ruse is the one of the hour
Your sister's mind has been bought and sold
Now everypony thinks you're made of gold
But what they don't know surely can't do harm
It's better sounding Nightmare Moon's alarm
A little lie sends her to the moon
A little lie that gets discovered soon

[Pre-Chorus]
A little story, and you've got all the power
Gone a thousand years with the tale of the hour

[Chorus]
You're telling vicious lies
Your power has no compromise
You're telling vicious lies
To be the savior in their eyes
[Verse 2]
Nightmare Night descends upon the world
Your web of lies and deceit unfurl
With everypony looking to the sky
Never knowing that it's all a lie
You send the elements to beat her down
Nevermind, you're nowhere to be found
Another lie only seals their fate
For all time it's Nightmare Moon they hate

[Pre-Chorus]
A little story and you've got all the power
Gone a thousand years with the tale of the hour!

[Chorus]
You're telling vicious lies
Your power has no compromise
You're telling vicious lies
To be the savior in their eyes
You're telling vicious lies
Your power has no compromise
You're telling vicious lies
To be the savior in their eyes
