Twilight The Ballad of the Crystal Empire S3E1

Twilight with the Crystal Empire flag.

[Twilight Sparkle]
Princess Cadance needs our help
Her magic will not last forever
I think we can do it
But we need to work together
We have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history
[Rainbow Dash]
It says that they liked jousting
[Rarity]
They flew a flag of many hues
[Applejack]
Made sweets of crystal berries
[Fluttershy]
They had a petting zoo with tiny ewes
[All]
Oh, we have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history
[Pinkie Pie]
There was a crystal flugelhorn
That every pony liked to play
[Twilight Sparkle]
And the Crystal Kingdom anthem
Can you learn it in a day?
[All]
Oh, we have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history
