Lydia the Bard
I Won’t Back Down (Snow White’s Villain Song)
[Intro (spoken): Mirror]
Once upon a time there was a princess, the fairest of them all
Who defeated a dark evil and went on to live happily ever after
But what happens when you are no longer the fairest?
What happens when the one thing you attribute your worth to is stripped away forever?

[Verse 1: Snow White]
My mirror, tell me what you see today
What word of those beyond these walls?

[Interruption (spoken): Snow White, Mirror]
It seems another has taken your place
No... no, you told me that couldn't happen
Thе fairest can only be fair for so long
But it's all I am... it's all I've еver been!
We all grow old, my dear

[Verse 2: Snow White, Mirror]
Beauty is power and all you are
You are nothing now...!
(But you're meant to help me!)
Though there are ways you can gain it all back
I can show you how...

Apples don't fall far from where the branch has been
But you'll do more than her
(I'm nothing like her!)
Just tell me what spell I need for this to disappear
Make things as they were...!
[Bridge: Snow White]
All I've ever been, gone in seconds flat
Pretty as a rose, was all I've ever had!
Now I have a chance to fix what was replaced
To let this kingdom know I won't take second place!

[Chorus: Snow White, Mirror]
I can't lose to some nobody, (You can't lose!)
I won't back down! (Don't back down!)
Take what I have earned all these years, (Take what you've earned!)
I'll claim my crown! (Claim your crown!)

I cannot be beaten when it's all I've had!
(You can't be beaten when it's all you had!)

[Outro: Mirror]
The story starts again anew
Watch, as the chaos now ensues...
