My Lyrics Thread
 
Here are all of my lyrics. Will be frequently updated.

Although this is MLP:FIM related, I still would like to get some criticism on this song.

The Test

Key: F minor/F# minor
Time Signature: 8/4

Verse 1
An Empire is in grave danger
Who’s gonna stand to stop the one
The only Great King Sombra
From shrouding the lightness into dark

Verse 2
This is her chance, the only one
To protect to lowly empire
Give it all the joy that it really needs
To fend off Great King Sombra

Prelude to Chorus
One chance, one choice
To fight, to win
To pass the test before us now!

Chorus (modeled off Failure Success Song)
How can I pass this test before me?
Do I have what it takes to
Face my fears, swallow my pride and
Defeat the evil one?

I must be strong I must be brave
I must not let everypony down
When I fall I’ll get back up
For the word depends on me, Yeah!

(Short Synth Solo)

Verse 3
The legend says this empire
Was full of cheerfulness and joy
Until evil sprouted out the hole
And covered it in sadness and fear

Verse 4
The Crystal heart was what they used
To keep the joy alive and clear
And if it falls in evil hands
The darkness reigns forevermore

(Pinkie Pie: Forrreeeveeerrr)

Prelude to Chorus
One chance, one choice
To fight, to win
To pass the test before us now!

(Twilight: THE WOLD DEPENDS ON IT!)

Chorus (modeled off Failure Success Song)
How can I pass this test before me?
Do I have what it takes to
Face my fears, swallow my pride and
Defeat the evil one?

I must be strong I must be brave
I must not let everypony down
When I fall I’ll get back up
For the word depends on me, Yeah!

(Dubstep for 8 bars)
(Light repeated cadence)

One chance! (echo)
One choice! (echo)
To fight! (echo)
To pass the test before me now! (Hold “now” for four beats, cut on 5)

(Twilight Sparkle: FOR EQUESTRIA!)
(Key Change to F# minor)

Last Chorus
I gave it all I had and passed!
The great test before me!
Victory screams loud and clear!
Shining bright and gloriously!

The enemy is crushed and down!
The Crystal Empire safe and sound
My friends believe that I could do
The test behind me now! (Hold now for 8 bars. Lower voice should harmonize with the cadence)

(Final long synth solo)

(Syncopated outro)
