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…
