    Story Behind the Song
    youre young, youre a boy, youre forced into the world of men. its unfamiliar, loud, fast, startling, ugly, impersonal, too big, and sometimes it hurts. but the most pain comes from comforming to it and being changed by it.

    thats the human experience. why sing about ponies? if you read LOTR, Bill was a sick and weak pony repressed by his master (as far as i remember), and after he was set loose by the gate of Moria, he had to make his way back home through a land darkening from war and corruption.

    being set loose in such a violent world at first leaves you with nothing but images. youre not really thinking about them, youre just seeing and feeling. an animal would not seek reason in anything it sees, the same way i couldnt know at first the reasoning behind the world i was thrusted into as a boy. if feels unfair, so painful that it could be mistaken for some great suffering. it is, of course, normal. but i didnt know it yet, and neither would a pony. this is a song about that time.

    Lyrics
    roaming
    stealing to the tops of hills
    in my path
    i see thorns and cutters
    i see thugs

    ive never seen it before
    ive never seen it before
    it shines under the moon
    it glows under the moon
    like knives and their gloves
    it shines under the moon
    and it glows under the moon

    fleeing
    i hear the horns of war
    soldiers and their smoke
    dead bodies
    things of war

    ive never seen it before
    ive never seen it before
    it shines under the moon
    it glows under the moon
    like knives and their gloves
    it shines under the moon
    and it glows under the moon
