"With Me" is the final boss theme in Sonic and the Black Knight. It is composed by Jun Senoue (who also performed the rhythm guitar for the song) and written by Johnny Gioeli (Crush 40). The song is performed by Emma Gelotte and Tinna Karlsdotter from the band All Ends. It features lead guitar performance by Marty Friedman and guest vocals by Johnny Gioelli.
The song plays on a continuous loop when Excalibur Sonic battles the Dark Queen. Given the morbid, sinister nature of the lyrics, the song can be interpreted as being sung primarily from Merlina's point of view. Some if not all lyrics can be interpreted as being from Sonic's as well. The song is featured on the album Face to Faith: Sonic and the Black Knight Vocal Trax, along with its instrumental version and a cover by Crush 40, labeled as the Massive Power Mix.
Lyrics[]
Original[]
You know every world will have its end (have its end)
And I'm here to prove it all to you
I am who you don't think I am (think I am)
All wrapped up in my evil plan
I can taste the day (taste the day)
Savor night (savor night)
Spells beyond you
As I watch you crawl
Do you dare to fight (dare to fight)
Evil's might (evil's might)
I'll be the last one standing
In a flash of light
My eyes (my eyes) are filled with curiosity
You think (you think) that you have power over me
In this life (this life), there's no room for you and me
So, turn away or face this day with me (face the day with me)
With me (face the day with me)
You know, every world will have its test (have its test)
Don't blame for what I have become
You know every world will come to end (come to end)
And I'll create your final rest
I can taste the day (taste the day)
Savor night (savor night)
Scream your dreams
As you dare to fight, dare to fight
My eyes (my eyes) are filled with curiosity
You think (you think) that you have power over me
In this life (this life), there's no room for you and me
So, turn away or face this day with me (face the day with me)
With me (face the day with me)
With me (face the day with me)
With me...
[Guitar solo]
I can taste the day (taste the day)
Savor night (savor night)
Scream your dreams
As you dare to fight, dare to fight
My eyes (my eyes) are filled with curiosity
You think (you think) that you have power over me
In this life (this life) there's no room for you and me
So, turn away or face this day with me (face the day with me)
With me...

And I'm here (I'm here) to prove it all to you - Sonic and Merlina trying to prove their views of life's end to one another.
I am (I am) who you don't think I am (think I am) - Merlina becoming the Dark Queen or King Arthur being revealed to be an illusion, or perhaps that Sonic is later revealed to be the true King Arthur.
All wrapped up in my evil plan - Merlina commenting on Sonic's role in her scheme to take over the Arthurian world, and Sonic understanding his goal can be seen as an evil plan.
Spells beyond you as I watch you crawl - Merlina being a witch and watching Sonic as he does what she says without knowing her true motives or Merlina watching as Sonic is beaten to where he can barely even stand.
Do you dare to fight (dare to fight), evil's might (evil's might) - Sonic and Merlina daring to attempt to defeat the other.
As you dare to fight, dare to fight - Merlina trying to fight the power of Excalibur and Sonic trying to fight the power of the Sheath of Excalibur.
Don't blame for what I have become - Merlina became the Dark Queen. Sonic becomes Excalibur Sonic.
My eyes (my eyes) are filled with curiosity - Merlina wonders why Sonic continues to fight when the odds are stacked against him, Merlina wondering why everything must end, or Sonic wondering why someone could be so nihilistic.
You think (you think) that you have power over me - Sonic pointing out to Merlina that she never had any power over him, or Merlina telling Sonic he is not powerful enough to defeat her.
So, turn away or face this day with me (face the day with me) - Sonic saying that Merlina must face the facts that all worlds must end or Merlina daring Sonic to either leave the world to her hands or he will be destroyed in standing up against her.
