Principal Cinch: *to Me* I realize that you've always been an outcast
It's not everyone at school who likes to think
To find a student that's like you
I've had one or maybe two
But the good ones disappear before I blinkNow I understand you have your reservationsIt's hard to have a brain as large as yoursBut if we don't win these gamesWell, I think I've made it plainWhat will happen if we have the losing scores
Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
If we lose, then you're to blame
They all have used it, maybe abused it
So that why can't we do the same?Principal Cinch: Call it power, call it magic
If we lose, it will be tragic
More important is the knowledge we'll have lost
A chance like this won't come again
You'll regret not giving in
Isn't understanding magic worth the cost?Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
We're not friends here after all
Our only interest in this business
Is seeing Canterlot High School fallPrincipal Cinch: What I'm suggesting's very simple
And since it's win-win on all scores
You only want to learn about the
Magic that you have storedAnd as for me and all the othersWe only want what we deserveThat our school will clinch the winAnd my legacy will endure
Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
If we lose, then it's a crime
But we can win it if you begin it
It's up to you to not fail this timeShadowbolts: Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
If we lose, then it's a crime
But we can win it if you begin it
It's up to you to not fail this timeUnleash the magic, free the magic nowUnleash the magic, free the magic now
Me: Imagine all I'll learn by setting it free
Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now
Unleash the magic, free the magic nowMe: And now winning these games depends on me
Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now
Unleash the magic, free the magic nowMe: And what doors might open if I try to use it
Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic now
Me: But the magic's what I really want to see
Shadowbolts: Unleash the magic, free the magic
Unleash the magic, free the magic
