**[Intro]**
*(Orchestral swell—violins playing a sorrowful, minor-key melody. Suddenly, a massive distortion wall hits. Blast beat drums kick in. High-pitched tremolo guitar picking ensues.)*
**[Verse 1]**
*(Deep Growl)*
We sailed the void in ships of gold
Truth and reason, a lie we sold!
Upon the crusade, the stars were tamed
Before the Ruin, before the Maimed.
Eighteen pillars, the Father’s pride
Now eighteen devils, nowhere to hide!
The Wolf, The Angel, The Lion, The Ghost
But the Favorite Son... we loved the most.
**[Pre-Chorus]**
*(Tempo slows to a rhythmic stomp)*
On the moon of Davin, the serpent spoke
The bond of brotherhood... finally broke.
Erebus whispers, the lodges convene
The foulest treachery ever seen!
**[Chorus]**
*(Explosion of sound, catchy melodic lead guitar)*
LET THE GALAXY BURN!
Watch the skies turn red as the virus falls!
LET THE GALAXY BURN!
Hear the brothers dying within these walls!
From Isstvan’s rubble to the Throneworld’s gate
We trade our honor for eternal hate!
Oh, Lupercal! What have you done?
You were the bright... and Rising Sun!
**[Verse 2]**
*(Aggressive, chugging riffs)*
Virus bombs on the surface crack
The Life-Eater dissolves the black!
Saul Tarvitz screams into the vox
As the Vengeful Spirit turns the locks.
World Eater axes, soaked in gore
Death Guard marching, rotting to the core.
Fulgrim laughs while the Iron hands fall
We are the butchers... we answer the call!
**[Pre-Chorus]**
*(Rhythmic stomp returns)*
The Webway shatters, the Magnus folly
A million worlds fall to melancholy.
Terra awaits in a siege of fire
Built on a foundation of bone and pyre!
**[Chorus]**
*(Melodic and Anthem-like)*
LET THE GALAXY BURN!
Watch the skies turn red as the virus falls!
LET THE GALAXY BURN!
Hear the brothers dying within these walls!
From Isstvan’s rubble to the Throneworld’s gate
We trade our honor for eternal hate!
Oh, Lupercal! What have you done?
You were the bright... and Rising Sun!
**[Guitar Solo]**
*(A dual guitar harmony. One guitar plays a chaotic, shredding solo representing Chaos, while the other plays a slow, melodic, weeping harmony representing the Loyalists. They harmonize at the end before crashing back into heavy rhythm.)*
**[Bridge]**
*(Music drops to just bass and atmospheric synth. Clean, baritone vocals)*
I was there... the day that Horus fell.
I saw the heaven turn into hell.
Father against Son.
The Golden Dream is done.
(Screamed) THE DREAM IS DEAD!
**[breakdown]**
*(Ultra-slow, heavy doom metal riff)*
KILL!
MAIM!
BURN!
(Repeat x4, getting faster each time)
**[Final Chorus]**
*(Maximum volume, full orchestration)*
LET THE GALAXY BURN!
Watch the skies turn red as the virus falls!
LET THE GALAXY BURN!
Hear the brothers dying within these walls!
The Emperor sits on a throne of pain
While we are shackled to the warp’s domain!
Oh, Lupercal! The war is won!
But look at the monster... that you’ve become
**[Outro]**
..For the Warmaster.
