[Intro — Spoken]
Ten thousand years…
Still we remember.
Still we march.
Still we hate. [Verse 1]
We stood beside your golden throne,
Before the lies, before the chains.
We crossed the stars in mankind’s name,
Then watched our glory turn to shame.
You called us sons.
You called us brothers.
Then cast us down and sealed the gate.
Now every world that bears your eagle
Learns the weight of our old hate. [Pre-Chorus]
No forgiveness.
No surrender.
We remember.
⸻ [Chorus]
This is the Long War!
Ten thousand years of flame!
We carved our oaths in broken worlds,
And thundered out your name!
This is the Long War!
No peace beneath the stars!
Until your throne is ash and bone,
We carry all our scars!
Let the false Imperium fall!
The Long War calls!
⸻ [Verse 2]
Inside the Eye, the centuries
Became a single endless night.
We forged our hate in warp-born fire,
And learned to make the darkness bite.
Your saints are dust.
Your prayers are silence.
Your Emperor cannot hear.
But when our blackened fleet arrives,
Every loyal heart knows fear.
Bolters roaring.
Daemons rising.
Traitor banners fill the sky.
We were betrayed and left forgotten.
Now the galaxy will die. [Pre-Chorus]
No forgiveness.
No surrender.
We remember.
⸻ [Chorus]
This is the Long War!
Ten thousand years of flame!
We carved our oaths in broken worlds,
And thundered out your name!
This is the Long War!
No peace beneath the stars!
Until your throne is ash and bone,
We carry all our scars!
Let the false Imperium fall!
The Long War calls!
⸻ [Bridge — Slow and Heavy]
Do you hear us, Father?
Do you hear your fallen sons?
We were your blade.
We were your wrath.
We were the chosen ones.
Now your angels hunt us.
Now your armies curse our name.
But every chain you placed upon us
Only fed the flame.
Ten thousand years…
And still we come.
Ten thousand years…
The war is not done. [Breakdown]
Break the aquila!
Burn the throne!
Leave the corpse-god all alone!
Raise the banners!
Sound the horns!
From betrayal, we are reborn!
⸻ [Final Chorus]
This is the Long War!
The heavens shake in fear!
From cursed Cadia’s shattered gate,
The day of wrath is here!
This is the Long War!
Our vengeance crossed the stars!
Your saints may bleed,
Your heroes fall,
But we survive our scars!
Let the false Imperium fall!
Let every loyal world recall:
We never died!
We never bowed!
The Long War calls! [Outro — Choir]
Ten thousand years…
Still we remember.
Ten thousand more…
We march forever.
