MASTER RECORDING LYRICS

FONT:
[Stygian] In troubled times we are called To show what heroes should be But I am just a simple soul Not great or mighty There is one thing that I can do Release the strength inside me Six borrowed tokens turn into The power I need Artifacts I’ve borrowed, The keys of the Pillars, Just a token of their power In this hallowed temple The strength that I’ve gathered I will help them all somehow Borrowed power in my grasp I’ll be the hero that they need Though I know it cannot last I hope the Pillars will forgive me what I’ve done [Star Swirl] A troubled sign within my power A sense that something’s missing [Somnambula] I feel a chill within the air Hope dims within me [Mistmane] There’s something ugly taking place Upon the temple’s altar [Rockhoof] Surely there must be some mistake? How is he stronger? [Flash Magnus] Artifacts he’s stolen? The keys of the Pillars, Only tokens of our power [Meadowbrook] In this hallowed temple Was he to betray us? Can we ever trust him now? [Star Swirl] Stolen power in your grasp Something a hero would not do Please give up these artifacts We know that our dearest friend would not end our trust like this [Stygian] We came to drive the sirens out And help the world regrow I only want to help you out With power of my own [Meadowbrook] You called us all to help your town Is this how you repay us? [Rockhoof] We lent our strength to help you out Only for you to betray us? [Mistmane] You didn’t have to stoop so low For you to leave your mark [Flash Magnus] This can’t be how your story goes Return what you stole, return from the dark! [Solos: BlueBrony (organ), Osoch (guitar)] [Star Swirl + Somnambula] Stolen powers not returned, A fallen hero flees in shame All we worked for shattered, burned Will this be our legacy, will jealousy become his ending?
