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
