Only through trial do we find the strength we need
It's never over just another day
Of hope and tragedies and everything that comes our way
Determination of the strong
Found the meaning that you've searched for so long!
All Hail Shadow!
Heroes rise again!
Obliterating everything that's not your friend!
Nothing can stop you now
No ghosts to bring you down!
When there's nothing left to lose
You win!
Bow your heads low
All Hail Shadow
Bow your heads low
All Hail Shadow!
Somewhere in chaos we all find ourselves
This destruction is the only tale we tell
White is black and black is white
Right is wrong and wrong is right!
Nothing ever fills this hole inside your heart
Determination of the strong
Found the meaning that you've searched for so long
All Hail Shadow!
Heroes rise again!
Obliterating everything that's not your friend!
Nothing can stop you now
No ghosts to bring you down!
When there's nothing left to lose
You win!

All Hail Shadow!

Bow your heads low

Bow your heads low
All Hail Shadow!
Suffer long and it will set you free!
Only through trial do we find the strength we need
It's never over just another day
Of hope and tragedies and everything that comes our way
Determination of the strong

Trivia
"All Hail Shadow" returns as Shadow the Hedgehog's main theme in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) in Shadow's story. At the end of the cutscenes "Mephiles' Whisper" and "Showdown with Mephiles", the tune of "All Hail Shadow" can be heard.
The largest difference between the Crush 40 and Magna-Fi version of "All Hail Shadow" is that there is a ten second opening guitar solo in the Crush 40 variant where as Magna-Fi's immediately starts with vocals.
