Sombra was once a king beloved and strong
His heart was full of goodness at the Empire's dawn
But obsession would possess him and it wouldn't be long
Before he'd lock away his subjects and he'd make them his pawns
Sombra sought justify his glorious reign He dwelled on stronger spells for there was
magic to gain Temptation gave him thoughts of coursing power
in his veins and his subjects could be free from sadness
worry or strain But he failed to see the king he was would
cease to remain his mind would be confined to inescapable
chains the magic would wreak havoc causing terrible
pain his rage would make his golden age an infamous
stain Soon he realized the danger in the power he
sought He attempted to reverse it and against it
he fought But the magic over powered him and he was
distraught For everything he'd worked for soon would
all be for not When I was a young I was naive for I believed
that humility Was the key for me to see the nation maintain
stability I realize the lies that lie in peace and tranquility
The solution retribution forced by sovereign ability
I suspect that my subjects might reject my command
For their submission is my mission and my vision is grand
The love and unity they throw at me is all I can stand
Their blissful lives, so contrived, will be revised by my plan
We can't escape from the kings illusions Lost in sadness and confusion
Memories die, past is a lie Imprisoned, who can stop him
Sombra the king spreading fear and darkness There’s strange crystals all around us
Equestria, Celestia, Please save us, you can stop him now
Darkness formed around him as the spell left him horn
A divide that writhed inside him left him consciousness torn
His heart once full of goodness now was riddled with scorn
The agony so bad he'd wished He'd never been born
Once the conflict had subsided he was stoic and proud
His swelling magic shrouded him in sickening clouds
He reveled in relentless power he was endowed He vowed to scourge his subjects till the
final had bowed He enslaved the population, his victory in
sight The kingdom of Equestria prepared for a fight
The empire vanished, banished by the king in the night
A sudden haunting silence fell with no sign of life
If I remain Celestia will be my demise She will plead and try to turn me with her
chivalrous lies When diplomatic action fails she'll sever
her ties And the army of Equestria will rain from the
skies Instead I have prepared for her a greater
surprise In 1,000 years my strength will peak and I
will arise The day she comes to stop me I will look in
her eyes And tell her that today's the day Equestria
dies We can't escape from the kings illusions
Lost in sadness and confusion Memories die, past is a lie
Imprisoned, who can stop him Sombra the king spreading fear and darkness
There’s strange crystals all around us Equestria, Celestia,
Please save us, you can stop
Now the empire has arisen from its thousand
year sleep Beyond the walls, in the halls a secret lies
in its keep To discover, recover it will test your physique
The traps will make you lapse and keep it just out of reach
It was hidden, forbidden by the ruler of old The secret he rejected isn't silver nor gold
Instead a relic you can tell is filled with powers untold
The hero to retrieve it must be selfless and bold
For the crystal heart of Sombra is the key to restore
But it's hidden by the king behind a magical door
Be wary of the passage if enticed to explore Is inside what you desire or a trial to endure
My heart had turned to crystal, made me doubt my decree
I used dark magic to eradicate it setting me free
The deliverance from my hindrance made me able to see
That any foal against my goal would have to answer to me
You'll depart for my heart approaching your mark
Within my lair endless stairs will cause despair in the dark
At the floor there's a door you'll unlock with a spark
A bright light will ignite and inside you'll embark
You can break free from the king's illusion Escape sadness and confusion
Open your eyes, you'll realize This vision is your prison
You can prevail and return to reality Stand your ground, bring back harmony
You have to pass, you mustn't fail Now end this sad thousand year old tale
Unaware, unprepared, feeling scared and unsure You desire to retire but you fight back the
urge Your mental structure's soon to rupture as
your fears start to surge Now you're cringing in a vision that you're
desperate to purge Looked inside, you can't hide from the pain
that's in store Welling tears, greatest fears shearing right
to your core Feeling cursed, mind averse, your mentality's
sore Now I'm laughing while you're trapped inside
and pleading no more
On your own, far from home in a chamber of
stone Wasting time in a bind while I'm taking the
throne I'm the king, feel my sting, you're lost and
alone I'll descend upon your friends and let you
mourn at their bones Above their graves march my slaves once I
take back control My desire re-acquire my empire of old
Your hope is dire like a fire going out in the cold
When I'm in power you will cower as I swallow your soul
You can break free from this illusion Escape sadness and confusion
Open your eyes, you'll realize This vision is your prison
You can prevail and return to reality Stand your ground bring back harmony
You have to rise, you mustn't fall Please save us
Sombra's reigning Memories draining
You must save us all
