[The Unwilling God]
I see my blood, and know what I must do
And hear his voice with hatred burning through
Was I a terrible father?
Did I allow this slaughter?
I know I mustn't falter
I cannot let this stand
I will not let him take my throne
The seeds of his death have been sown
And with mercy for my own
I hope you will understand
[The Lord Solar]
One thousand worlds lay conquered at my feet
Brought to their knees by my unrelenting fleet
And when we should have persevered
My soldiers had embraced their fears;
The unknown space kept that them here;
Ventured not beyond his light
My dream now lifeless; cold and dead
Had we gone forth, they would have fled;
I dreamt of a war beyond the stars
Now I weep into the night
[The Imperial Regeant]
I stand the lord of a broken empire
This was not what my father had desired
My time to rest is over
From all the darkest corners;
The weight upon my shoulders;
I shall not let it fall
I have re-dawned my armor
To some, I am a martyr;
I live to serve my father
Until I fall once more
[Future Heroes]
And since our great empire's birth
Great men have come and gone;
Their blood runs proudly through our veins
Their courage still remains
We will suffer any pain
And proudly embrace certain death;
We'll serve this great Imperium;
While our bodies still draw breath
