Of Shadows

[Stygian] How could they be so frightened? Never needed me before, Now left me on my own, abandoned all we’ve worked for I wanted to be stronger That’s a sin they can’t allow They tell me that I’ll never be a hero now So, the villain I’ll be Now embracing the shadows within me All the heroes I sought to fight the enemy Are the shadows I know will be the end of me [Mistmane] This monster now before us Made ugly in his pride His craving for our power has changed him from the inside [Rockhoof] Now we must stand against him And harden all our hearts What we had forged as one, we now must tear apart! [Star Swirl] We must stop him before He can smother the light forevermore [Pillars] Now the hero who led us to our victory Is the shadow who now becomes our enemy [Violin solo: Koron Korak] [Stygian] A forgotten memory A footnote to their story Is that all I’ll ever be? The hero in me Becomes The shadow they see The strength that I seek Overcome the lies, The lies that they speak! [Guitar solos: Blackened Blue, 4EverfreeBrony] [Flash Magnus] This is no monster we can fight [Mage Meadowbrook] Chaos has poisoned him inside [Star Swirl] Banish the shadow from the light [Pillars] As one we strike We the Pillars, who followed you to victory Stand together to banish you for eternity [Star Swirl] A darkness too strong for us to hide [Pillars] Banish the shadow from the light [Star Swirl] Only one way to win this fight [Pillars] Banish the shadow from the light [Star Swirl] Our power will bind him for all time [Pillars] We make our final sacrifice [Star Swirl] We make our final sacrifice [Pillars] Sacrifice! [Choir] Final sacrifice! Final sacrifice! Final sacrifice!
