Verse 1
The smoke has swallowed every voice,
The guns have all grown still.
The banners lie beneath the ash,
Yet one walks onward still.
No trumpet calls…
No victory cries…
Only silence…
Beneath dark skies…
Verse 2
The regiment has faded now,
Their names lost to the flame.
But every step I take ahead
Still honors each of their names.
The line holds firm…
Though I stand alone…
Duty remains…
My only home…
Pre-Chorus
If none remain…
To hear my call…
Then let my footsteps…
Answer all…
Chorus
I AM THE LAST GUARDSMAN!
YET STILL I MARCH!
THROUGH FIRE!
THROUGH ASH!
THROUGH ENDLESS DARK!
ONE SOUL REMAINS!
ONE DUTY STANDS!
I CARRY KRIEG!
WITH THESE TWO HANDS!
Verse 3
Every footprint marks a promise,
Every breath defies the night.
Not because I seek tomorrow…
Only because the cause is right.
If I should fall…
Before day’s end…
Another son…
Will rise again…
Bridge
No fear remains…
No tears are shed…
I march beside…
My honored dead…
Though none can see…
The ranks beside me…
Their sacrifice…
Still marches with me…
The Emperor…
Knows every name…
No life was lost…
In vain…
Final Chorus
I AM THE LAST GUARDSMAN!
BUT NEVER ALONE!
FOR EVERY BROTHER!
MARCHES ME HOME!
THE LINE ENDURES!
THE OATH SURVIVES!
KRIEG SHALL STAND!
WHILE ONE SOUL STRIVES!
FOR KRIEG!
FOR THE EMPEROR!
UNTIL MY FINAL STEP IS DONE!
Outro
One set of footprints…
One final order…
One unwavering soul.
