//------------------------------// // Some Ponies with Turisas // Story: My Little Poems - Ponies with Metal // by Lectuiae //------------------------------// The Oath of the Equestrian Guard The sun lit over the skyline, A sign for the ending watch Stationed firm on the mountain, On the castle of the Harmony's realm. Along the sunrise, beginning the next shift I take my place on wall As we watch for the Canterlot mountain, As we're the Equestrian Guard… Guards of glory and of might, Bound to serve through day and night, Sworn to protect the ponykind, Under grace of the Sun and the Moon. From the farthest corners of kingdom Arrived the newest ranks. Born from the lines both high and low, Gathered here with one common purpose. Stronger than magic our bonds stick together, Vigilant we watch the sky, Hooves firm on the earth that supports us, We guard the Equestrian Land. Guards of glory and of might, Bound to serve through day and night, Proudly rise to give your oath To the grace of the Sun and the Moon: "On this day we give ourselves under the service of the Royal Sisters, Silvery Moon and Golden Sun. The Guard of the Equestrian soil, we are the shield that protects the innocent. Were it at War or at Peace, we won't step aside from the Harmony's path…" Guards of glory and of might, Bound to serve through day and night, Sworn to protect the ponykind, Under grace of the Sun and the Moon… The Great and Powerful Last of the fireworks explodes in the sky Stage is silent after the show, a success once again Fans' approval still echoes here, the most wondrous of sounds Left astonished of my skills, as if there ever was any doubt Soon I will leave this town for my next stop: Everypony should have the chance to see my fame Behold! Behold peasants, for your mistress is here Cheer me! Praise me! The Master of Mages, the greatest of all Applause, worship! No point to challenge, whatever you try All you do I can do better… There is no shame to bow 'fore my might One day the whole world will know the Great and Powerful! I've seen the horrors of Everfree, kept my courageous heart Stood up against the wildest beasts, and walked away alive No mage has overpowered me, but given me their respect Come forth, no need to be shy now, I'll let you to kiss my hooves And as you've honored with my presence Be known, you shall see show like never before… Behold peasants, for your mistress is here Cheer me! Praise me! The Master of Mages, the greatest of all Applause, worship! No point to challenge, whatever you try All you do I can do better… There is no shame to bow 'fore my might One day the whole world will know the Great and Powerful!
