... It is within the fibres that make up our still-beating hearts.
Magical in structure but physical in the soul.
Breaking down the walls
That line makes that what which ponies are.
It is love in nature,
But not without;
T'is strength and the fire that burns
Within breast.

We find solace in ideals of the companionship
Wrought by the tools of the spirit.
The purest form of existence within.

We face down adversity and meet the ghosts
Of our own demise.

Strength of mind,
Bravest of golden heartstrings,
We will take back our world.

[Transcriber's note: Translated as per the request of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (Or Cadance, as she is informally known!), present day ruler of the Crystal Empire. The authenticity of this piece has been debated heavily by modern day scholars as it was rumoured that the apostle Silver Dew wrote this on the battlefield. She did not survive the rebellion's skirmish against King Sombra. The transcript itself was found beneath the Royal Library's catacombs. How did it get there? Curious indeed! The past can truly hold deep mysteries. It is most fascinating!
