Solar Triumphant

I am she, the ivory wings of golden splendor,

Shining absolute over the mountains.

The brilliant presence sailing the world over,

Has resided under my control,

And none may take what is my right,

All foes upon my lands and skies shall hide,

Obey my laws and you shall prosper well.

As the filly grows into a fair mare,

And the colt into a stallion strong,

I shall transform against my enemies.

If my word cannot turn your armies,

Then you will know my wrath and ruin,

And you will learn how I have ruled so long,

Know why riches and joy pour forth to those under my care.

My mortal children always call out my name,

Seeking my aid or favor in my gaze,

Hoping to hear my knowledge and wisdom.

And I shall always remain close by to hear their cries,

But only my shadow at my side forever lies,

Their partings peaceful knowing I've stood for them,

But will my sorrow be to see a new star in the skies.

Many foals have I taught over the centuries,

Children once to whom I light candles now,

To each and all my fondest memories,

A room of light someday to glow like the sun.

Who amongst you can truly know my sorrow,

War and peace have been quelled in my heart,

Oh please tell me why I can't follow my beloved foals.

The world needs my sun to shine near and far,

And I shine it down on the weak and strong,

I pour forth its might on the good and the evil.

All Know must my kindness and generosity,

But if against my subjects is a war you wreak,

Then observe the wrath of my blazing star,

Know true terror before my ferocity.

What is ours shall never be yours,

Not a single stallion or mare shall bow to you,

Know that you time is up and vengeance is due,

For each of my children you hurt and slew.

No mercy for your rulers who remained behind,

In ivory towers, fat and without callous,

Know me and my great power.

But no oppression shall be given unto the fearful,

Those who cowered under an iron gaze,

Your children shall grow fat with kindness and joy,

To me they shall be loyal children beneath my grace.

The riches your greed demanded shall be theirs,

And the terror upon them shall cease its pull.

And all the world shall know me as the ivory titan of the sun.

Forgive my absence dear children I pray,

There is no word of repentance I can say,

But know that I shall always do my best,

And shall stay and defend each filly and colt,

Who under my gaze shall in peace will lay,

Nightmares and horrors will fade away,

Underneath my jeweled lights of the night sky.

Behold and know no terror in my darkness,

Let no fear befall you through my night,

Rest below and sleep for I shall no longer mind.

Above my children as I delight like motherliness,

To the foal at home and the soldier far away,

Be courageous above all and remember,

This night is ruled by me and I shall stay.

With the harshness of the sun's light departed,

See now my brilliant jewels now take her stead,

Know my kindness as I watch over you,

Dearest children below in whom I find delight,

Keep the peace and comfort each other,

My benevolence is what I hold true,

Justice and virtue shall be my banner.

To my warriors in a foreign land,

Together With your families each night you shall stand,

And your foes will never know a moment sleep,

Their weariness shall bring them sorrow,

And in unity against them shall we obtain a brilliant morrow.

With flags waving and shouts of joy you shall spread peace,

For it is from your great sacrifice we may pay our lease.

Oh woe to you kings and queens of foreign lands,

Stand aside or perish before the sister of an iron crown,

Frozen steps of polished stone will crumble,

As I reign holy flames down from the sky,

Great stones of the heavens from her starry gown.

And from your ruins shall rise Equestria's standard,

Now our land shall reign supreme and humble.

May both peace and harmony reign,

Over each new kingdom we build and rebuild,

Through our work and the strong willed,

Now shall my moon eclipse a land of holy deign,

And no more shall your precious foals fear the night,

for once we were enemies against one another,

but now in each little hoof and face shall I find delight.

Raise your voices now all you who love and seek peace forever,

Raise now your heads in pride and honor,

All allies and foreign friends rejoice with us,

As we welcome home our sons and daughters,

May their stories be forever told,

And may they have many grandchildren in their ages old,

And may peace forever reign and harmony remain.

Together forever our twin thesis two,

Sister of day and sister of night,

Bringing golden health and beautiful dream to you,

Diarchs arisen from time long gone and old,

Risen from spirit and freedom of the sky,

Wrought from powers and majesty of magic,

And carved from bones of the world with a joyous cry.

Three races one our twin thesis create,

Years of terrible sorrow and rapturous joy,

Ruler of the day giving way to the night is our fate,

The day shall come again and again shall fade,

Carrying on in strength of our duty and oath,

The tears we have shed and cries for loath,

But we cannot fade until one day far away.

Together sing illuminating mountains,

No darkness above ground shall ever remain,

The sun chases the moon as stars bear audience,

Our children below rejoice in our lights,

Playing in days and dreaming in nights,

We guard them from darkness and evil,

Chasing away the godless and vile enemy.

Move gracefully our holy wolves of the sky,

Giving life to the land below your cities of cloud,

Create machines our majestic hosts of war,

Sparing the lives of your brothers with engines loud,

Shake the world beneath our holy nights of stone,

Making our enemies fall to the ground,

The night and the day watch over you.

By the names of your fathers and by the blood of your sons,

We shall obtain and secure freedom for all,

Our beloved children once foals protected,

Are now standing in honor and glory projected,

Across every land bringing peace and justice to the slave's call.

No more sorrow with oppressors now rejected,

And perhaps one day we shall call none foreign.

Peace is all we desire, but when diplomacy fails,

Our foes will learn it is not our child who, for loss, wails,

By grace, intellect and wisdom shall the future be made.

Soon their foals shall cease their weeping,

When they by their new families hearts are keeping,

And know they have the blessings of both the son and moon,

Foals of enemies gone shall rejoice in this generous boon.

Perhaps one day we shall fade too,

Striding through the gates by holy knights guarded,

Under eternal day guarded by heavenly wolves,

With majestic hosts greeting us all who shall follow.

Eternal joy and praise with harmony divinely rewarded,

And no more shall we weep when we see as we see our children's faces,

Glory be forever reign when done is our twin thesis.
