THE DISCORDANT TALE
 – Ponies with Kamelot

[Click here for the accompanying song]

PROLOGUE
The Discordant Age




Welcome to the lost time,
Surreal like a dreamland
Ponies, once free
Only slaves toyed by a mischievous beast…

Born as a mockery
Distorted mirror of harmony
"Where's the fun in making any sense?"
Senseless disharmony grows as He plays,
And they listen,
The discordant notes…

"I have a vision of this world
and those little ponies:
Their precious home
bent by my will, wronged and broken…"

Play with their minds
Rewrite laws of their lives repeatedly
"Like puppets they dance in my hands."
Their world upside down
Their joy turned into insanity
"My desire's the law."

"Wherever I roam
Will decay take its place,
pandemic spread over the land."

Lord of asylum
Infecting the wounds of fellowship
"Chaos lives within us all."
Senseless disharmony grows as He plays
And they listen
The discordant notes…

Chaotic wasteland
Where their homes once stood in blissful peace
"See how my visions come true."
"No plead nor misery can affect me
to change my ways, what I aspire for…"

"Under my will, Chaosrealm…"

EDIT renamed.

And Lo, for the new saga of tragedy, wonders, ham and ponies has been unleashed!

That's right, I'm finally ready to submit the first part of The Discordant Tale, a sequel to The Nightmare Epic. This time with a varied collection of songs provided by different metal bands over the saga. The Prologue is adapted into Kamelot's "March of Mephisto", suitably epic and menacing song to depict the era of misery and unhappiness known as Discord's Reign.

This is part 1 of the epic poem "The Discordant Tale", a retelling of Discord story arc from “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” adapted into music and style of different metal bands. Poems will follow the musical direction of the songs, but with an original content.
As the name implies, this is a thematic sequel to my earlier work, “The Nightmare Epic”. You can find it here [link]
