DESCRIPTION:
Boy that Season 4 opener had a lot of stuff going on didn't it? What stood out to me most though, was the playful commentary by our friend Discord... You might have noticed from my building repertoire of villain songs that our fair draconequus has been missing. That's because I've been working on this little number for him. He needed a song that was fittingly chaotic, maniacal, and descriptive of his rise to power.

I hope you enjoy...

Lyrics:
When I first opened my eyes I saw a world too orderly
Everything followed a purpose it was all so very sickening
That's when I knew that I was the one to level out the scales
And turn that perfect order upside down and hang it by its own entrails

Then I found these other creatures, cute and cuddly ponies
The poor things had been damned, tattooed with immutable destiny
I found I had the power, so I let them all be free
Removed their marks and gave them fully pandemonius reality

When they began to scream and run for their princess and her lunar sibling
They cursed me, cast me as a monster, and labeled me as evil as can be.

Oh, that's how it is? You'd like to play this little game?
The ones who write the fates, versus the one who sets them straight.
She says I'm wreaking havoc, wants to know just who's to blame.
It is chaos, baby! Discord is the name...

Now those two tried their best, but it was my throne on that day
I offered them a hug, but then they up and F$#@&% flew away
Well fine then, go and pout, because it isn't going to help
I've got some things to do, malice to brew, in fact I'll raise a little hell

Cause victory seems to leave me feeling inspired, like a buttermilk spring
Or a tortoise bomb, sing-a-long, giant prongs, Mule Zedong ,
or whatever other ridiculous thing I please.

Because this world's my toy chest and you're all my little dolls!
You might as well embrace it, like my very own Screwball...
Begin the chocolate downpour, feel the bedlam in your manes
We have only just begun to play the game...

Soon the sisters reappeared feeling ready for a rematch
They were begging for more...
I was blinded by the opportunity to make them subjects of my new chaotic throne

Therein was my folly as they played their little show,
Distracting me, successfully, from their magic orbs
I chuckled like a madman when I saw the power flow
As I petrified, frozen into stone...

Go ahead, enjoy, you're little victory for now,
I'll sit here, waiting patient, as the clock is ticking down.
You know it in your heart, you haven't seen the last of me,
It just takes, a bit of disharmony
By your own hooves you will set me free
