Indivisible tensions lays thick throughought the air

Blanketed by it's weight, it feel impossible to bear;

On the steps of the pathway father unknowingly paved

I'd one day hoped to follow but now I rue the day

As I approach his torn form, decaying like a corpse

Funeral atmosphere comparisons clouding every thought

There are no bereaved or mourners as should be the due course

In the wake of all the sacrifice witnessed from thе catafalque

You've sat herе silent and guiding, your ways are inconceivable

While we, your children, chased a goal that was unachievable

In our naivety, mistook your brilliance for warmth

Confused by your blinding light, thought of ourselves as your sons

Now everything I've sacrificed for, you've called into doubt

How could I trust your guidance, amidst all the secrets you keep out?

And I know now you'll let me live any lie that I need to

As long as I cover the needs you've deemed that I see to

The subtle misdirection's come to ripple and spread

Given enough isolation, will become truth, in its stead

Ten-thousand years for every fault to manifest as foundation

With no concern for real problems, only inner fixations

Look what they've made of our dream

Bloating, rotting carcass visage

The picture of peace I painted, looked not at all like this image

The sentiments we defended, the reason and hope desired

They misconstrued it for heresy; burnt it on the same pyre

Maybe the torches of ignorance should've taken them as well

Let all the cruelty of Horus guide them directly to hell

Better to mercy-kill our sin, our penultimate mistake

Than live to see the horror that they've tried to keep in my wake

Show me any insight, justify our fate

Tell me that our lives have not been lived in vain

I command attention; I demand that you explain

I'm begging you, make sense of what has been ordained!

The overwhelming weight of the Imperium upon me

I'll scatter all the chaos while we savage this lost dream

We've lost our sights for too long and have strayed from our target

I'll realign our vision; and make sure they don't forget

Never again will creeping shadows darken our doors

Never again will chaos loom while we go conquer the stars

I will not settle for waiting to die, in this stagnation

We must be proud and unified, for our salvation

I fell with a wish of salvation on my lips

Yet find myself alive in a new apocalypse

Though this dark Imperium shook me to the core

I'll command without doubt to the path we walk towards
