**(Intro: Low, Gregorian-style chanting with the sound of heavy boots marching on stone and the rhythmic clanking of power armor. A pipe organ swells in the background.)**
(Chant)
*Exterminatus...*
*Illuminatus...*
*Adorationem...*
*In Nomine Imperator...*
**(Verse 1: Tense, driving drum beat. A single female voice, sharp and commanding.)**
The incense swirls in the sanctified hall
We rise as the shadows of heresy fall
Ceramite strapped over skin marked by prayer
The scent of promethium fills up the air
The Rosarius glows with a pale, holy light
To banish the terrors that crawl in the night
We are the hammers, the shields, and the breath
Of the Master of Mankind, the Bringer of Death!
**(Pre-Chorus: Tempo accelerates, choir joins in harmony)**
Check the seals on the bolter, the oil on the blade
In the Garden of Martyrs, our debt has been paid
No pity! No mercy! No fear in our eyes!
For the soul that is faithless is a soul that he dies!
**(Chorus: Explosive, epic orchestral swell. Crashing cymbals.)**
Burn the heretic! Kill the mutant! Purge the unclean!
By the Emperor’s light, let our fury be seen!
With the Bolter, the Flamer, the Melta, we cry:
"For the Golden Throne, we are ready to die!"
Daughters of battle, brides of the fire
Lifting His glory on a funeral pyre!
Ave Imperator! Our faith is our shield!
To the will of the God-King, the universe yields!
**(Verse 2: Heavy industrial rhythm, grittier tone)**
Through the mud of the trenches and xenos-choked wastes
The bitterest chalice, the Sisterhood tastes
We walk through the warp-storm, we stand in the breach
Beyond where the light of the Astronomican can reach
The "Holy Trinity" roars in our hands
Cleansing the filth from His sanctified lands
If my blood is the price for a world to stay pure
Then my wound is a blessing, my purpose is sure!
**(Bridge: Music drops to a low, haunting cello. A whisper that builds into a scream.)**
(Whisper)
My life is a coin for the Emperor to spend...
(Building)
My spirit is iron that no daemon can bend...
(Screamed)
My heart is a temple! My veins run with gold!
The legends of Katherine and Alicia unfold!
Suffer not the witch to live!
TO THE EMPEROR, EVERYTHING WE GIVE!
**(Guitar Solo: Fast, shredding, mimicking the chaotic heat of a heavy flamer.)**
**(Chorus: Maximum volume. Full choir and double-kick drumming.)**
Burn the heretic! Kill the mutant! Purge the unclean!
By the Emperor’s light, let our fury be seen!
With the Bolter, the Flamer, the Melta, we cry:
"For the Golden Throne, we are ready to die!"
Daughters of battle, brides of the fire
Lifting His glory on a funeral pyre!
Ave Imperator! Our faith is our shield!
To the will of the God-King, the universe yields!
**(Outro: The music fades back into the pipe organ and the sound of crackling flames. A single, pure soprano voice sings the final lines.)**
The fire has spoken...
The darkness is broken...
His will be done...
On earth as it is...
On the Throne...
