Arcanum HymnView OnlineEquestrian Warrior HymnsArcanum HymnYour mighty power shall be as a torrential wave, Bursting forth with the limits of imagination and logic, With your horns as hard as iron and your hearts as purest gold, A glorious shield shall you be to your brothers in battles thick, Sharpened are your minds pure minds never letting your honor be sold, Through trial and tribulation against a master and slave, You shall carry on with this great power our majestic hosts of war. Never faltering in your duty to your country, A beacon of strength to your sons and daughters, And a warm wave of love and pride to your ever waiting wives. Your powers and knowledge shall grow greater each century, Your great understanding shall heal the wounds and bones of others. Never shall you regret this divine choice to live as brothers, You shall all stand as one to the earth and sky our majestic hosts of war. Let your enemies blow away as dust in the wind, Then they all shall kneel and beg for forgiveness for having sinned, You shall command them with great voices and they shall obey. The oppressors and evils shall quake as you lead their own slaves against them, Those who were ordered to attack your country shall be united to you as brothers, And they shall fight by your side forever, Giving their lives for your beliefs and ideals our majestic hosts of war. The sun will rise and give you her celestial power, The enemy hosts shall see this and cower, Running before your might as vermin before the mighty predators. All hearts as one you shall cast your power over the fools, Those who dare to think they can have victory, But it shall be torn from them in a wave of your glory, All hearts shall fall as you march on our majestic hosts of war. Blessed with great intelligence and fortitude before our time began, Strategy and planning have always been your strengths, Our enemies shall strain themselves and go through great lengths, To counter your offensives and overcome your walls, But they shall hold firm and all your brothers shall be safe. Their offensives will burst and their mightiest fortress falls, Before your intellect and power our majestic hosts of war. The moon shall light your path in the darkest night, And you will see your enemy as he tries to hide himself, Your great inventions shall spread terror and win the fight, The machines of your imaginings shall lead us to victory. All of your brothers shall shower you with praise and glory, Under your eyes shall the world progress against the godless, Leading us onward into new ages and dreams our majestic hosts of war. When it is at long last your time to pass, The world shall never forget your generosity and magical friendship, And we shall await the day we can see you again. Keepers of the knowledge of heaven without hardship, Always ready with answers and knowledge, In that eternity without war and forgotten pain, And we shall stand forever in harmony with our majestic hosts of war.

Absolutionist HymnView OnlineEquestrian Warrior HymnsAbsolutionist HymnThe sound of marching hoofs shaking the earth, Mighty quakes that shall shatter the stillness, The sound of the strongest and wisest of us heading off to war. Stones shall be shattered beneath your mighty girth, You are our mighty guardians of absolute confidence, None can compare to your pure courage and willingness, Standing strongest without magic or flight are our holy knights of stone. Nerves of steel and muscles of iron, Sinew of brass chains and joints of bronze, Inspiring your sons and daughters to surpass you, And your wives will be shining as if each were a beacon. For them you will strive forward and hold true, With hearts of fire and souls of diamond, Lead forth and protect your country and brothers our holy knights of stone. The mountains shall crumble and be flattened beneath you, Even the mightiest of stone fortresses shall break apart, Rivers shall cease their flowing before the works of your heart, And every land you've never been before shall be bent to your will. There is no obstacle that cannot be broken, And there are so many more holes to fill, With the enemy's rubble and ruin our holy knights of stone. When the sun shines you will be renewed, Your mighty charges into the battle will break your foe's spirit, And your brothers of the sky and magic shall cry out your names, As the barricades are shattered and hiding places are torn apart. Many darts shall pierce your hides and yet you shall not fall, And as you walk amongst splinters with the ashes falling in your manes, You will know your place is by our side our holy knights of stone. You thundering behemoths of the earth, You have rejected the vanities of passing pleasures, But share in the spoils of the honors and glory that should be your treasures. Your unholy foes shall fall through the cracks as you break the world apart, Regretting in earnest that they followed such a godless and unjust cause, And then you shall fill the cracks with their ruin to silence their petty cries, And you shall carry onward our holy knights of stone. The moon rising above is your carrying mother, Reuniting your brothers at night to protect each other, Creating an invincible wall of one mind and purpose. None shall break through your ranks, You shall hold fast until the sun rises again and you find your enemies spent, And all your days shall show your country that our freedom is a rent, Paid by you and your brothers of the sky and magi our holy knights of stone. One day you'll walk in eternal sunlight after your days of great feats, The honesty you walked in and the joy you gave, have earned you your place beyond a simple grave. Awaiting your friends as you stand on golden streets, Guarding heaven's gates and welcoming faces that you've longed to see, Honor shall never be taken from you and your family, One day perhaps we shall join you too our dear holy knights of stone.

Hymn of the VolunteersView OnlineEquestrian Warrior HymnsHymn of the VolunteersRise 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.

Skyward HymnView OnlineEquestrian Warrior HymnsSkyward HymnThe beating rhythm of wings, A thundering to instill fear and pride, A brilliant range of color flowing side-by-side. Lightning flashes in their wake, Rain feeds the fields laid deep, With enemies laid unto eternal sleep, By hoof, lance and storm risen by our heavenly wolves of the sky. As the sun rises, they stand ready and vigilant, All you, their sons and daughters, You wives full of pride, all your hearts beating as one, Clad in gold and covered in honors, And to each a great boon of power and respect shall we grant. All the young pour forth to admire the heroes of battles won, Flying in the confidence and splendor of great tradition, Worthy of praise and the glories our heavenly wolves of the sky. Rejoice and sing of their speed and grace, All brothers as one in perfect harmony, None shall stand when the skies turn black as ebony. To you all, our sons, your wings shall never tire, Your winds and lightning shall burn the world in holy fire, Inspiring the futures to seek peace out of fear and wisdom, For none can endure long before the might of our heavenly wolves of the sky. Under the moon, you're a silent shadow on the clouds, Giving your earthbound brothers courage through the perilous night, Let your thunders roar and winds tear apart the world beneath our enemies, Becoming the beacon of hope and terror until the sun's first light. All wings and hearts beat as one in brotherly unity, Against the elements you create blessed before our time with immunity, No snow or ice shall hinder your flight our heavenly wolves of the sky. The howling, thunderous wind is your symphony, No knee shall remain still at the sound, The rolling drums of the clouds shall bring them to the ground. Your banners shall wave for freedom against the godless foe, Forever your stories will be told to give hope and pride, To your nation and descendants and the rest of the world will know. Forever names shall be written in tomes our heavenly wolves of the sky. Before the sun you shall bring hope to the refugee, Even the mightiest you shall be known for your grace and purity, Rain will fall upon the dessert lands and rainbows shall crown the horizon. Against ten thousands you shall prevail in numbers outweighed, No oppression will stand before your unmatchable grace, Through loyalty and kindness, honor shall be granted at with every pace. Strike for liberty for all our heavenly wolves of the sky. When your time is done you shall have be glorified by the sun, When your night falls your great boon shall be granted by the moon, You shall have the power and honor as you wait for your friends from beyond. Your family and friends shall see that you patrol heaven's skies, Eternally vigilant and without need of rest, for not one of you dies, You shall remain in honor and glory as your great reward, Guardians who shall fly over eternal skies our beloved heavenly wolves of the sky.
