The ballad of the Shadow Queen: (sung by King Sombra and Twilight Sparkle)
 
(Corrupted Twilight watches herself in a crystal mirror and realizes what has become of her. She sees her former self trapped on the inside. Twilight observes the black crystals forming over her body.)
 
Twilight:  
(Small slower reprise of The Failure song)
 
I thought I could complete the test, but now I have lost the quest,  
-To overcome King Sombra’s tricks/ but I wasn’t prepared for this….
 
(A deep chilling laughter interrupts Twilights thoughts. Instrumental ballad)
 
Sombra: My empress of darkness/, my precious jewel  
With you by my side/ together we shall rule  
We shall let the Royals fall/ and make them feel like fools  
For their nightmares will come true….
 
Twilight: Ever since I was young/ when I saw the rising sun,  
I knew it was my destiny…  
I would master the mystic arts/ from the power of my heart  
And restore the empire’s harmony…
 
Is all that I’ve learned a lie? An illusion? And why?  
I just don’t know what I am anymore….
 
Sombra: Be patient, my pet. I shall teach you yet  
-And make you more powerful than before!
 
 
Chorus: ITS TIME FOR THE RISE OF MIDNIGHT SHADOW  
It is time for the Crystal Empire to fall,  
Sombra: Soon we will stand and watch them crawl  
And soon my love, we shall rule them all.
 
 
….  
Sombra: Your power is pure, your heart is strong,  
They say you can’t change destiny, but they are all wrong  
I have seen your fears, I have heard the lies,  
Embrace the darkness and together we shall rise
 
 
Twilight: They’ll hold me down no more  
No longer will I hide  
Its time to spread my wings and soar  
Release the power deep inside
 
 
Sombra: IT’S TIME TO RISE MY QUEEN OF SHADOWS  
Twi: Its time to unlock my true powers,  
The clock is ticking, it’s a matter of time,  
Together: And soon, my dear, Equestria will be ours
 
….
 
Shining armour:  
My sweet sister, ever since you were a foal  
Your sweet smile made our lives whole  
Now that you’re under King Sombra’s control  
What has become of your soul?
 
 
Shining armour: is it real or is it a dream, i cant be sure  
(Spike: cant be sure)  
is there a way- to turn back time, is there a cure?  
(Spike: is there a cure)
 
Cadence: is it too late/ to reverse your fate/ now that your heart is tainted with hate.  
….
 
Chorus: ITS TIME FOR THE RISE OF TWILIGHT SOMBRA.
