He raised his mighty sword to the sky and yelled a dragons oath :moustache: By the POWER of GREY SKULL !

:raritystarry: you forgot my Spikey Wikey
:rainbowhuh: you know the little dragon dude
:applejackconfused: the great back scratcher
:pinkiehappy: who took the cake
:flutterrage: I'M NOT DONE YET!
:facehoof: SHOOT!

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you literally just removed all of the tags to the song.

So yeah, the format I wrote the music in didn't jive with the FimFic moderators. So, here's how the song is supposed to look.

Wailin' Raylan / RAYLvelatiAN

Raylan: Oh Agony. Woe is me!

A stallion passing by heard the musical anguished cry and sauntered over.


Male Villager: Raylan, what could it be?
That makes a stallion so grand, act so miserly.


Raylan: I've discovered the truth, a foregone conclusion.
And I'm telling you, to relieve your confusion
This thing that would baffle even the wisest,
This most ailing of ailment that ails me, why it's...

Male Villager: Yes?

Raylan: It's me.

Male Villager: You?


Raylan: Yes, indeed.
Rapturous and masterful, yet self effacing and bashful
always so humble, it's me

Male Villager: If I may, Mr. Raylan, I'm afraid I don't follow.

Raylan: That's because you're not me, it's a tough pill to swallow.
It’s a such a burden, that even I'm forced to wallow
For nopony else sees the world through my eyes
But as great as I am, I'm hardly surprised.

A crowd began to huddle around their idol, their whispers pregnant with worried curiosity.

Villagers: What, oh what, is the matter with Raylan?
The wind's been clean knocked out of his sail, and
Male Villager: Hush and be quiet, his story's at the tail end,

Villagers: Tell us, please tell us, oh wonderful Raylan!

Raylan: I watch the foals playing hoofball
With their clumsy little hoof-falls
And the way they relate
Is that they all mistakes
But I don't! and I won't! As I'm sure you all know
My perfection must suffer by being alone.

One is a number, mathematically prime
When the world stands divided, I'm the last of my kind
Standing all by myself, while everypony else,
stands on the other side of the line!

Female Villagers: Oh, what a shame!
Male Villagers: Such a tremendous pain
Villagers: To be drowned by a cocktail of brilliance and fame
What can we do to comfort our savior?
Pegasus Colt: Can I be just like you, if only I train?

Raylan: I appreciate your boldness, I think you should know
So don't think this is coldness, but I swear it’s not so
Ponies like me, well they're born, they’re not made
And all the training you do will assuredly fade
And on your flank, little colt, there's no skull, sword, or bolt
You'd be left with the feeling of being, well... a dolt

The colt sauntered off, looking both sad and confused, in equal measure.

Female Villagers: What a hero, that Raylan, he's just so appealing
Look at the way that he spared the colt's feelings!
Male Villagers: So kind and so humble
He sure is a bundle, of jooooy!

Raylan: Joy isn't quite the word that I'd use
It's more like a bomb that you cannot defuse
And while I certainly relish your starry-eyed stares-

Male Villager: If you think you're so alone, then what about the mares?

Raylan: The mares? Oh ho ho, yes, the mares.

A group of six familiar ponies emerges from the crowd, smiling seductively at Raylan.

Twilight: You're not alone, please don't forget us mares.

Pinkie: I know every other stallion, no way they compare!

Rarity: Indeed! There's no pony so styling,
In a hat while they're flying as youuuuuuuuu!

Fluttershy: Outside of fashion, you've shown us such... passion

Applejack: After a good apple bucking, I'll give you a good-

Rainbow Dash: Good luck, Applejack! He's got higher standards,
When it comes to bees and birds, there's no one that I'd rather scr-

Raylan: -Scrap that notion that I had in my head!
While I've got no equal, there's always room for a sequel
As long as I'm laying in bed!

Female Villagers: Praise the great Raylan, he's the light of all our lives!

Male Villagers: Even we love Raylan, we offer up our wives.

Villagers: Raylan the Rapturous! How your greatness has captured us!
We hope that we've helped to change your miiiiiiiind!


For a moment the crowd was still, the crowd drawing a collective gasp of happiness when Raylan smiled.

Raylan: I was right. I was right all along, I was right.

Male Villager: But you said-

Raylan: With the sun, in my eyes, I lost sight
Couldn't see the fix to my plight,
I'll embrace my perfection, without seeking more
Amazing and awesome, not filthy or poor
And every single time that I look in the mirror
My wonderful existence becomes that much clearer
All of you have shown me, what at first I failed to see
There's nopony out there, no there's nopony out there

That's as rapturous and masterful as meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

No, Raylan. If you had the slightest self-awareness, you'd know everything about you is exactly as it seems.

Brilliant. A shining light in a sea of piss.

I am not sure weather to cheer or facepalm at this story. None the less, I still gave it a thumbs up.

:rainbowlaugh: came here from 3 Gems and a Scooter. I've been waiting for this to become an actual story!

Bwahahahahaha!

Glorious. Truly glorious.

I don't know if you truly captured the greatness of Raylan (I mean who but Raylan writes that good). You forgot to have him outdo pinkie in fourth wall antics.

Raylan Raylan bo baylan banana fana fo faylan, mi my mo maylan.... RAYLAN!
You failed to mention how he's able to signal aliens with just the brightness of his smile. But then, I suppose a story that were to go IN DEPTH about the TRUE greatness that is Raylan could never have an ending.

I was laughing my arse off the whole time
