In the land of Equestria, long ago


there were two royal sisters, of that you know




One brought the night, the other the day

But one other princess was hidden away




One so sad, with a broken heart

for in this world she had no part




One who had the gift of will

but nopony needed her still




For ponies ruled the Equestrian land

and setting it free was never planned




So from the castle, one day she fled

ponies watching her fly overhead




She felt so useless, so unneeded

her sorrow ignored, so unheeded




She flew to the south, nopony was there

the land had no will, leaving it bare




She poured her magic into the earth

she saw it all happen, her magic give birth




Birth to a place where all was free

from the weather to the growth of a tree




She brought some ponies to show them her land

they stayed a while, finding it grand




But soon they learned the darker side

of the shadows and what they hide




The creatures that lurked behind the bend

were the kind you couldn't befriend




Then one morning the moon wouldn't go down

it wouldn't make room for the sun to come roun'




The ponies got scared, they panicked and fled

and left the princess, filling with dread




She feared the worst, what her magic had brought

that night time eternal was what she had wrought




She thought just then, what if she fled,

she knew if she left, her spell would be dead




the land would return to be barren and bare

and once again, nopony would care




The moon would fall, the sun would rise

though she'd again be hidden to their eyes




She deemed this fine, her mind was set

She would now leave and end this threat




She spread her wings, about to soar

but something pinned her to the floor




Heavy vines did hold her bound

a pit appeared beneath her ground




The forest she loved, she had made

and now by what, she was betrayed




It had a will, and it knew

that if she left her magic would too




A prison was made, extreme perhaps

for the forest's death would make it collapse




Now she was trapped by her own creation

waiting and praying for her salvation




As time passed, her heart did fade

for nopony had come to her aid




She accepted the fact, nopony would come

she saw her freedom, would never be won




Now the princess, Everfree

is now and forever never free
