In a realm of madness and despair
Where skies weep blood and ancient stars burn
By an intelligent and malevolent entity
They dedicated themselves to the glory of Chaos
Travelling a path of blood and ashes of their creation...
Speak the words of Lorgar
And you shall live forever in the glory of Chaos
Speak them not
And every one of you shall die today
Sons of Horus, Emperor's Children,
World Eaters, Death Guard
I will find you, I will kill you
I will hurl your toxic corpse into hell's mouth
This violence is against the code
It's against the will of the Emperor
Then the angel took up the censer
And filled it with fire of the altar and cast it down to the land
And there followed earthquake
Thunder, lightning and death
The hosts of hell were awakened
And wroth poured forth upon the land
Leave no stone upon stone
Salt the earth with the blood of the fallen
And leave only ashes to mark their passing
Let the ground be the grave marker of the heroes

13th Black Crusade

Thirteen times shall the Traitor King go forth
In the End Times the iron fortress shall be cast down
Its walls breached and its Gate forced open
Those that dwell beyond shall spill through it
The air shall burn and the ground shall melt
The Daemon shall lie down with the machine
Brother shall slay brother with fire and sword
And the sky-wound shall pour its malice forth
The Eye shall stare unblinking at its prize
And the Traitor King shall cross the bridge of stars
He shall return to finish the Warmonger's red work
Upon holy soil shall the fate of man be decided

The Great Shame Lives On
04:10
|
|
||
|
A shadow fell upon the heart
Of a remarkable man
A crack that would one day tear
The Dark Angels Legion asunder
Paranoid atmosphere
Exile and betrayal
Secretly worshipped daemonic Chaos entities
Anti-religious stance of the Imperial Truth
Malevolent evil that threatened
Their way of life and deepest beliefs
The Fallen had been
Cast across time and space
Untold torments and long journeys
Through nightmarish landscapes
Vengeance was a torment
As long as the Fallen lived
The Legion’s great shame
Would live on as well
You stand before this brotherhood
As a renegade and a traitor
Your actions have brought
Shame on the Primarch and on the Unforgiven
Your suffering shall be but
A beginning to your penance
And your screams shall be
The harbinger of your contrition

Dark Purpose Of Madness

Leader of the warband Butcherhorde
Greates mortal champion of Khorne
Has lived a life of murder and betrayal
Kharn - a member of the World Eaters
I seek out the enemy
Attack with all the force
Leave only corpses behind
And then move on
Under the blood-soaked helm
Lurks an intelligence
And cunning that makes him
A masterful killer
The traitors descended to new depths of bloodlust and destruction
For the final campaign against their hated rivals
They fought on the Daemon World of Skalathrax
Horrified by environmental conditions
Ceasefire – forced by the cold
Both sides creeping back to their shelters
As the slaugther was delayed
Kharn felt terrible rage
Burned the cowards to ash
Slaying with Gorechild – his Chain Axe
He had been the last to be borne
Away from a final war
He found weakness amongst his brethren
So he had slain many of them
Legionnaires still bear a burning hatred of him
Others admire his devotion to blood and slaughter
Trust me when I say that there is a dark purpose in his madness

Your god is dead
Faith is a lie
Hell awaits us all
Let the stars bleed
An apocalyptic Cult
Dedicated to murder
As insidious as it is cruel
Unrivalled by any other
Reputation for horror and atrocity
Brutal crackdowns by local authorities
The cult's goal is a simple one
The destruction of the Imperium
Tearing down of the Imperial faith
Slaying of all those who serve the God-Emperor
One soul damned and one murder done
The cult seeks to twist and corrupt the minds
To carry out acts of mass-murder
And sow despair and terror
Coteries of madmen, lost souls
And hell-spawned monsters
Living weapons of the unholy crusade
To destroy the rule of the Golden Throne

Hadex Anomaly

Come signs, come figures
All hell dance before me in bloody light
Come woe, come pleasure
Drown me in infernal night
A raging Warp phenomenon
Lies at the core of the Jericho Reach
Bathing countless worlds in a sickly red glow
This nebulous tear in space-time is more than you think
It is a cancer upon the fabric of time and space
Entire star systems have been lost to its baleful influence
Like a monstrous heart palpitating in the void
Absorbing and disgorging entire solar systems
Worlds bathed in the crimson glow of the Anomaly
Become saturated with its corrupting essence
The erratic behaviour has caused to believe
It may have a mind and sentience of its own
There is a ring of voidships, ghost vessels
Frozen forever within a flow of time

Forces Of Chaos
05:02
|
|
||
|
A tide of depravity is upon us
The universe trembles under the hooves
Of the Daemon horde
Mankind has unlocked the doors
Of the nether-prison
And now must pay the price
None will be spared
The ghastly predations of
Khorne, Tzeentch
Slaanesh, and Nurgle
The weak and the foolish will be the first to fall
Nor a host of lesser evils
A temple of degradation
Will be built over the ashes
Of the Emperor’s Palace
The weak and the foolish will be the first to fall
