## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
You see me soaring through the sky
I see you below as you walk on by
I could clear the sky in 10 seconds flat
Well, how about that?
Well, how about that?
I could be sitting here on a cloud
Watching the sun as it starts to go down
But the only thing missing
Is you by my side

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Give me a smidge of confidence
Give me a speck of something that makes sense
Give me an idea of dependency
Give me a dash of loyalty
Loyalty *(Loyalty)*

**[Chorus]**
I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through *(Can't follow, can't follow through)*
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty
Loyalty *(Loyalty)*

**[Verse 2]**
The sun shines bright, yet the rain pours on
Rainbows here one minute and then they're gone
They remind me of me and you
What did you do?
What did I do?
Determination in those eyes
Where has it gone? Has it said goodbye?
A lot as happened
But I'll stay by your side

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Give me a smidge of confidence
Give me a speck of something that makes sense
Give me an idea of dependency
Give me a dash of loyalty
Loyalty *(Loyalty)*

**[Chorus]**
I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through *(Can't follow, can't follow through)*
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

**[Bridge]**
Time stands still when you're with me
How can I make you see?
Your crazy antics make me want to scream
Your name so loud till my throat starts to bleed
To bleed

**[Guitar Solo]**

**[Drum Solo]**

**[Chorus]**
I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

**[Chorus]**
I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

**[Chorus]**
I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through *(Can't follow, can't follow through)*
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call
That's why they call me

**[Chorus]**
I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through *(Can't follow, can't follow through)*
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

## RE:MAKE updated version

A completely new re-recorded version of "Loyalty" was released on the *ELEMENTS* EP, under AcousticBrony's current name, RE:MAKE. PrinceWhateverer, aside from producing the track, plays drums and provides additional vocals, instrumentation and guitar.

Differing substantially in rhythms, melodies and tone, this version of the song adds synths within the chorus, as well as some tints of metal to it, replacing the drum solo with a breakdown, death growls and dissonant guitar riffs. Moreover, the acoustic guitar from the original version is completely eliminated.

## 4EverfreeBrony versions

### Cover

4EverfreeBrony's first take on the song was an acoustic guitar ballad in the form of a demo that he recorded while he was abroad in Argentina for his mission trip. This recording was uploaded to SoundCloud on October 4, 2015 and was part of his October Update YouTube video. Later, the demo was included on the subscriber exclusive Bandcamp album, *Copycat - demo*.

Eventually, his version of "Loyalty" was properly recorded and released on his covers album, *Copycat*. An accompanying video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on the release date of the album, featuring a Rainbow Dash drawing done by artist Ashtoneer.

4EverfreeBrony's version remains faithful to the original composition, with some minor changes on the guitar tones and drum patterns, as well as acoustic guitar being a little bit more present.
