My Little Poems - Ponies with Metal

Some Ponies with Turisas

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!

Author's Note:

The two were some random projects I came up with after writing The Nightmare Epic back in January. "The Great and Powerful" was the first poem I wrote after it, inspired by some EQD's random topic about villain songs. I wrote and submitted it to dA in one burst of inspiration, in 45 minutes.
"The Oath of the Equestrian Guard", on the other hand, turned out to be more difficult piece, taking almost six months to finish due to my other projects and poems (especially The Discordant Tale) pushing before it. It's probably my most "accurately" ponified song, unlike most of my poems that have next to nothing to do with the songs I use.

Shouldn't be too difficult guess the subjects.
