++ ARMAGEDDON ++ 02:07
lyrics
++ I will die on this world, The thought festers then takes hold, Spreading and corrupting my resolve, I will die on this world, Armageddon, Barren wastes, Armageddon, Poisoned air, Anger spreading through me, Strengthening and bolstering against the despair, Anger spreading through me, I am purity embodied, Scatter my ashes on the priceless earth of this accursed world, Armageddon, I will die on this world, The thought festers then takes hold, Spreading and corrupting my resolve, I will die on this world, I am a weapon, born to slay I am wrath incarnate I will die, On this world I will die on Armageddon ++

++ BURNING HAMMER ++ 03:24
lyrics
++ Centuries at his side, Death of my master, death of my brother, Holder of the key, Keeper of the relics, His final words exalting me “We will fight and win, or fight and die”, This grim reality we face, All that ever changes is the shade of the sky, And the colour of the blood on our blades Gathered, bearing witness to my rise, Silent doubt echoes through the chamber “Let that be the last blow you receive unanswered” Blood seeps onto my tongue and I suppress my rage Returning to my feet, christened as the Reclusiarch Holder of the key, keeper of the relics Wearer of the black, born to slay Centuries in his hands, Passed from my master, now in my grasp, This burning hammer singing with the echoes of a bygone age, “We will fight and win, or fight and die”, This grim reality we face, All that ever changes is the shade of the sky, And the colour of the blood on our blades No pity, no remorse, no fear “We are judged in life by the evil we destroy" To the darkness I bring fire, To the ignorant I bring faith, Those who welcome these gifts may live, but I will visit naught but death and eternal damnation on those that refuse them Death from above like a burning hammer ++
4.
++ ARRIVAL ++ 03:22
lyrics
++ Stepping into the darkened sun, Look at what you’ve given me, What have you done? Forsaken me here in this blackened hive, Never to leave again, Buried alive Wretched and festering below, Endless masses toil away, Labouring in their graves, Feeding the machine, In the name of a husk, Even in death enslaved, Resurrected as a hollow drone, No joy, no life, no freedom in existence, Only servitude and pain I would burst the foe’s black heart in my hands, Just to be rid of this arduous task, Please don’t leave me to die here You dare leave me here As good as dead, my end draws near Steward of a manifested hell, Cloaked as a noble undertaking Faith and fire, blade and bolter, Tooth and nail, we will fight to the last For each one of us, we till take one-hundred of them Bodies piled to the top of the wall What awaits us in the coming days? One conclusion ruminates in my mind Death and only death Death and only death Death and only fucking death ++
5.
++ INVIGILATA ++ 03:19
lyrics
++ The need grows dire and the hour late, Tradition ignored, a gambit played, For the good of the hive, For the good of the world, Legio Invigilata Control held by a thread, On the edge of the mindscape The resentful machine overtaking The need grows dire and the hour late, Tradition ignored, a gambit played, For the good of the hive, For the good of the world, Legio Invigilata Suspended and barely alive, Unseeing, wizened, and hunched, Nonetheless shrewd and unrelenting Refusing to walk will doom the city Refusing to walk will kill us all Under the threat of an overwhelming enemy Invigilata must walk Legio invigilata Princeps, will you walk The need grows dire and the hour late, Tradition ignored, a gambit played, For the good of the hive, For the good of the world, Legio Invigilata How like a God, that ancient machine, Fists like two towers of destruction, Laden with the doom of mankind’s foes, Watching over us as the battle begins, In the shadow of the walking city, God of the machine incarnate, We will crush the enemy ++
6.
++ FIRST BLOOD ++ 03:11
lyrics
++ From the putrid sky falls a burning husk, Pilfered and corrupted by the imminent tide, Heralding the arrival of an ancient foe, We will draw first blood, Blood on my blade, Slakes my thirst, Jolts me awake and sharpens my mind, No mistakes, none left alive We will draw first blood Hunting down the beasts through the halls of the barge, Swords through flesh and shells through bone Knights to the field, Claiming a victory for the hive, Inspiration in the slaughter, Motivation in the letting of the blood, That now soaks the sand and flows down the troughs of our blades Blades strike true in the name of a God Bringing holy death down on the enemy Hundreds fall before the battle begins We will draw first blood Hunting down the beasts through the halls of the barge, Swords through flesh and shells through bone Knights to the field, Claiming a victory for the hive, Inspiration in the slaughter, Motivation in the letting of the blood, That now soaks the sand and flows down the troughs of our blades Staring into the eyes of the beast, An ocean of pain stares back, Gripped by a dark satisfaction, Fueled by its agony, Walk away and let it die, As it if ever liver, We will draw first fucking blood Death to the heretic ++

++ HELSREACH ++ 03:28
lyrics
++ Weapons without number, defiant masses forged in war, Courage without question, born to slay Legion after legion, We are the wall against which the wave will break We will throw their bodies from the walls, One by one slaughtered in defiance, Knee deep in the foul blood, Fighting on for the lives alongside us, Paying dearly for every inch of ground, Snapping bones and mincing flesh, The wave of death hardly slowed The smell of ending life fills the air, Smoke and flames erupt, an image of a living hell, Reckless hate manifested, swarming through the city, Helsreach burns, defiant we fight Weapons without number, defiant masses forged in war, Courage without question, born to slay Legion after legion, We are the wall against which the wave will break We will throw their bodies from the walls, One by one slaughtered in defiance, Knee deep in the foul blood, Fighting on for the lives alongside us, Paying dearly for every inch of ground, Snapping bones and mincing flesh, The wave of death hardly slowed The smell of ending life fills the air, Smoke and flames erupt, an image of a living hell, Reckless hate manifested, swarming through the city, Helsreach burns, defiant we fight Do you know my name? I am wrath incarnate Will you stand with me? Carving our fable in the flesh of the enemy ++

++ OBERON ++ 02:34
lyrics
++ Hidden beneath the dunes, Lies a dormant engine, Kept from prying eyes and hands unworthy, Laden with the power of a sun, Bristling, armed to the teeth, For awakening hands, Oberon lies in wait, Oberon lies in wait Hidden beneath the dunes, Lies a dormant engine, Kept from prying eyes and hands unworthy, Laden with the power of a sun, Bristling, armed to the teeth, For awakening hands, Oberon lies in wait Through the endless defences a path is carved, Layer by layer stripped away til we gaze upon the prize, Shock and awe manifested, to operate is sin, Spewing white hot death, the power to raze a city Blasphemous acts have pried him from his prison Free now, to fire on the gargant Engine kill Godbreaker melts away, as if never conceived, Swift death to this disgrace was more than it deserved ++
10.
++ STORMHERALD ++ 04:27
lyrics
++ The god machine lays beneath the rubble, Ambushed and toppled in shame, On the brink of the abyss, Overtaken by the seething soul Facing down the wretched enemy colossus, No more than a festering mass of metal, Levelling the fury of a sun in its direction Weapons primed, going in for the kill Vengeful reprisals, Brought to bear on this abomination Vengeful reprisals, Brought to bear in the names of the fallen Belching smoke and flame, hemorrhaging ammunition Dealing damage unconceived, hail of unholy fire Consumed by wrathful vengeance, Warnings unheeded, pleas denied, Restraint discarded, death assured Consumed by the mindscape, lost to the void Sanguinity returns for an instant, The God-machine’s arms pierce through the gargant, Cacophonous cries of steel-on-steel, The psalm of Stormherald’s fall from grace Death of an ancient of war Death of the people’s hope Facing down the wretched enemy colossus, No more strength left to give, Fury of a sun now quenched, Weapons down, “you’ve killed us” Consumed by wrathful vengeance, Warnings unheeded, pleas denied, Restraint discarded, death assured Consumed by the mindscape, lost to the void Death of an ancient of war Death of the people’s hope Death of an ancient of war The psalm of Stormherald’s fall from grace The god machine lays beneath the rubble, Ambushed and toppled in shame, On the brink of the abyss, Overtaken by the seething soul “You’ve killed us” ++

++ WE WILL BE BURIED HERE ++ 03:58
lyrics
++ We will be buried here, Beneath this sacred stone, Duty done, creed upheld, We will die a warriors death, Kill them all, let none survive While a knight still draws breath, Judgment will be served On the precipice of our destruction, Backs against the wall, we fight as though possessed, Death as sure as the rising of a sun, Weapons land their blows in arrhythmic fury We will be buried here beneath this sacred stone I have dug my grave in this place and I will triumph or I will die We will be buried here, Beneath this sacred stone, Duty done, creed upheld, We will die a warriors death, Kill them all, let none survive While a knight still draws breath, Judgment will be served Walls cave in, Until the end No pity, no remorse, no fucking fear Walls cave in, Until the end, I have dug my grave I have dug my grave We will be buried here Beneath this sacred stone, Duty done, creed upheld, We will die a warriors death ++
