Rise now all you our sons of Equestria,
You courageous souls now heed or call,
Bring forth your hooves and steel,
Charge in unity as one for all,
Stand tall and to the invaders reveal,
That they need fear even our unpaid militia,
Protect us all from where our armies cannot.
To the north our sons of the snow,
To the south our sons of the sand,
To the west our sons of the forest,
To the east our sons of the sea,
Strike out with frozen iron a mighty blow,
Lash out with the wits of the desert land,
Trap them with the growing green's wisest,
From or sapphire shores let them flee,
Equestria's compass united in vigilance forever.
You know the land in which you dwell,
This advantage none can take from you,
Come wisdom and strength unrivaled,
Come speed and skill unmatched,
Come majesty and power insurmountable,
Defend those things you love,
Become a story the generations will tell,
Our independent warriors,
From ground to skyward peak,
All betwixt stalwart brothers a tragedy would befell.
Doctrines of spirit and law you were raised,
Retired or intrepid soul rejoice and sing,
Watch those would ravage Equestria land,
See them quaking before unwavering smiles,
Let the sounds of steel cheers throughout mountains ring,
Forever remember our brave volunteers.
