Avenging son

(Slow, reverent intro – Imperial Hymn-style)

From starlit halls I forged thee bright,

In gene-forged fire, in dawn’s first light.

A builder’s soul, a warrior’s hand,

My chosen steward across the land.

(Chorus – swelling and powerful)

Avenging Son, my steadfast flame,

Bearer true of Mankind’s name.

While others fell to pride or war,

You held the line, and built me more.

(Verse 1 – reflective, somber)

Lorgar preached lies, and Horus turned,

My dream of peace in fire burned.

Yet you, Roboute, unbroken stood,

And shaped an empire from your blood.

With pen and sword, with rule and law,

You raised the realm that others saw

As naught but dust—but not to you.

You made it whole. You made it true.

(Chorus – repeat, but stronger)

Avenging Son, my final vow,

Even in death, I feel you now.

You lead my legions through the dark,

A distant star, a guiding spark.

(Bridge – darker tone, rising tension)

Would I had spoken one last word—

Not silence, not the fate you heard.

A father locked in golden tomb,

While you bear both my wrath and doom.

But through the veil of time and pain,

Your loyalty is not in vain.

Though angels fall and demons rise,

Your honor holds beneath cold skies.

(Final Chorus – triumphant and mournful)

Avenging Son, the time draws near,

The end, the fire, the final spear.

But till that hour, you stand for me—

A titan forged in loyalty.

My noble son, my final plan—

Roboute Guilliman, the last true man.
