    Lyrics:
    Verse 1:
    Unsheathe, Trust into the void
    To walk in the shadows of better men
    Firstborn, The final chapter
    Holding the means to see hereafter
    Not for power, Nor veneration
    These benighted worlds
    Condign only annihilation
    Chorus:
    The path of exaltation
    To truths you wish you'd never known
    Forever unforgiven
    We hunt for those who fell
    In the name of absolution
    These fallen m ust be slain
    For only though salvation
    Can we redeem our shame
    Verse 2:
    When honour is torn down
    And valour holds no place
    With the power of suns
    In the palm of our hands
    Only vigilance prevails
    Each contrition, Etched in blood
    Clandestine our cloak
    Tethered to our transgressions
    Interlude:
    In the face of ruination
    Our sins we must confine
    As fire serves to clear the soil
    Only faith will seed these basis

    The Dark Angels were the most requested legion so here is “The First Blade”, a melodic death metal song from the POV of a loyalist or maybe it’s one of the fallen? 🤔
    Verse 1:
    Unsheathe
    Trust into the void
    To walk in the shadows
    Of better men
    Firstborn
    The final chapter
    Holding the means
    To see hereafter
    Not for power
    Nor veneration
    These benighted worlds
    Condign only annihilation
    Chorus:
    The path of exaltation
    To truths you wish you'd never known
    Forever unforgiven
    We hunt for those who fell
    In the name of absolution
    These fallen m ust be slain
    For only though salvation
    Can we redeem our shame
    Verse 2:
    When honour is torn down
    And valour holds no place
    With the power of suns
    In the palm of our hands
    Only vigilance prevails
    Each contrition
    Etched in blood
    Clandestine our cloak
    Tethered to our transgressions
    “Repeat Chorus" 2nd Time
    Interlude:
    In the face of ruination
    Our sins we must confine
    As fire serves
    To clear the soil
    Only faith will
    Seed these basis

    I greatly look forward to how you'll tackle the ugly duckling of 30k: the Vth Legion, the White Scars, the Ordu of Jaghatai.
    Once one of the most obscure legions with only a passing mention about their participation in the Siege of Terra, through the hands of Chris Wraight, they became one of the most beloved Legions in the fandom.

    Amazing stuff guys! You keep blowing it out of the water with these songs. I find it fitting to use deathwing trailers for this honestly, the song fits in the best way possible with the point in time that game came out, very angry and unforgiving, pun intended. Also that guitar in the instrumental at the end reminded me of Rhapsody, always a big plus!

    • @LorcanWard
      @LorcanWard  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks! I was wondering if the video was a bit to energetic while editing but I like how it came together, it was nice to have footage I could use again for one of my songs and there was so much from Deathwing . Luca Turilli has always been a big influence on me, glad you noticed.

      I do. Warhammer has limitless inspiration I can draw from and even once I've finished the 18 legions I can still go back and do the occasional song for something I didn't cover. Like a Perturabo or Sigismund POV song.
