All Hail Shadow

The song is good but it is hard to grasp the rythim

First of all, I think there's no finer song to be Shadow's theme. And now... let's begin.

"All hail Shadow Heroes rise again" Referencing Shadow's resurrection at the beginning of Sonic Heroes

"Obliterating everything that's not your friend" Shadow is slightly violent and is one of the few Sonic characters to actually kill human beings.

"Nothing can stop you now No ghost to bring you down When there's nothing left to lose, you win" Shadow has nothing left. The ARK, Maria... all of it is gone. He is an ally with Sonic and co, but it's a lot of times an uneasy alliance he has no problem going against if he thinks it's right. So, without friends, a home, or belongings, and his past being explained in Shadow the Hedgehog, he has nothing to be used against him.

"Bow your heads low, all hail Shadow" Shadow has always had visions of grandeur and power, such as in the "Mobius: 25 Years Later" story arc in the Archie Sonic Comics. This is also a reference to his huge amount of power, which is enough to destroy him if he doesn't control it.

"Suffer long and it will set you free Only through trial do we find the strength we need" Throughout his life, Shadow has suffered much, and through all of that he has come out even stronger. A little on the darker side, much like Shadow himself is to the entire series.

"It's never over, just another day Of hope and tragedies, and everything that comes our way" However, even after all that, there's still stuff coming at him.

"Determination of the strong" Once again, through determination and will Shadow has continued on.

"Found the meaning that you searched for so long" His past, the most important thing to him, was finally revealed in Shadow the Hedgehog.

"Somewhere in chaos we all find ourselves" Chaos is the force that gives Shadow, as well as many other characters, their power. It a lot of times is the saving grace of a person, group, or even the planet.

"This destruction is the only tale we tell" Shadow's sheer power and ruthlessness has scarred many survivors.

"White is black, and black is white Right is wrong, and wrong is right" His confusion over what he should do and be. Referencing Shadow the Hedgehog's Good vs Evil system.

"Nothing ever fills this hole inside your heart" Even though he knows his past now, he still has something missing... all those years he lost. He wants to return to them.

Any questions? Feel free to ask.
