What's in a name?

Golden armour glitters in the sun.

What's in a name?

Selfless deeds we perform for our Goddesses.

What's in a name?

Strength in numbers, pride in our undying hearts.

What's in a name?

We give our lives in the name of Equestria.

What's in a name?

Country is our motivation, family where our souls lie.

What's in a name?

A life-long service, dutifully carried out.

Whats in a name?

Respect is what we aim for, but sometimes we are not given it.

Whats in a name?

Brothers in arms, a bond unbreakable.

Earthen ones give strengthening walls.

From shields to projectiles, they perform miracles.

Whats n a name

Then there are the winged brethren.

They fly, survey, attack.

Beautiful, fluttering feathers touching the breeze.

Maneuverability and endless grace, they are perfect.

What n name

How I envy them.

Flightless.

Unable to serve my Goddesses.

My dream, unfulfilled.

Diseased and shamed.

How I long to don the royal armour.

But frailty shatters my hopes.

What ame

Do I not deserve a better fate such as this?

Wat ame

Can I not save myself from darkness?

Wat ame

Is my destiny to die unloved?

Wat ame

In this facility, I lie awake, barely.

Wat ame

Facility? More like a prison.

Wat ame

I cannot leave, cannot move.

Wat ame

Here I am a number.

I am but a statistic.

They know it's but a matter of time.

A matter of time until the end.

Will I have a grave?

Just a set of letters.

Arranged to form something comprehensible.
