Vilified
Lyrics written by Ethan Song
I am but a shadow that rests on a home;
I’ve heard pleading objections, to my heart of stone.
I once knew of love, of light, and of hope
Then found the place where all good things go (to die)
For every burden, there is someone to bear it.
Behind the greater good, there’s sins we commit
Your fragile worlds need a source of blame to ascribe
But there are evils, that can’t be described.
When all of this blinding lack of faith arises, we’re intertwined.
Your life weighed against that of mankind-
to call it a hard choice, would be a lie.
The death of innocence is but necessity;
If you abhor the thought, you’re welcome to your fantasy.
If those beside you bear witness to the darkness of life,
Then for the greater good, stand beside them; when called to die.
Under Imperium, we’re all His children;
Who wouldn’t gladly die for the sake of their kin?
It takes a pure soul to cling tight to faith as they die,
But to kill for Him… is something only the strong abide
And that’s something no child should have be put through-
I cross the line for your sake; so you don’t have to.
But if that child shall ever even think to stray from the path,
They’ll know no mercy- they’ll be purged with unhesitant wrath.
All of the ends we prevent, yet somehow we are the ones you vilify
If you’d seen what I’d seen, you’d be devastated; you’d be terrified
So hope for redemption gifted here by the hands of a better man;
Know that my blood-stained palms, will only ever care for a greater plan.
And if that’s what it takes…
Then no cost is too great.
Um I don't want to be that guy, but the last word is great not high. Sorry. Love the song though.
I didn't notice, thanks for the good music!

@Deuz. The "Inquisitorius" *shudders* is absolutely stupid.
Everyone asks "Don't kill me inquisitor!" and no one asks "How are you inquisitor"
Except for fellow inquisitors

>Inquisitor screaming as the heretic refuses to die and ask how their feeling.
They're like Gandalf the Grey with Rohan: Everybody hates them because they're never around unless things are about to go sideways.
@@tylerulfmann4586 For some reason I'm reminded of Hellsing, specifically schronger when Alucard puts a pistol into his mouth.
Despite their displayed stoicism and resignation towards necessity, sometimes I wonder how many inquisitors cry themselves to sleep each night.
Why do you think so many of them turn to heretical methods, not for personal power like cultists or fallen Marines, but to try and fight an impossible battle?
@@Significantpower I'd noticed. And despite the irony of it, it really doesn't seem like they have much to lose at that point.
Every last one that has a shred of humanity left
Those that do not have already in a way fallen to corruption
And some find a guard commisar to help them carry that burden
After having read through the Eisenhorn and Ravenor books, I have since learned that Inquisitors simply do not sleep.
Your songs are so strange, I listen to them and I'm like "meh" then I keep listening and after a few loops I get more and more into it two of which being "Months of Shame" and "Adepta Sororitas". How do you do this?
Personally I think it's because the words in the song can sometimes be a bit off rythm. Buuut the lyrics do have meaning and the sound is good
See it like an aquired taste
As every single musician does. More you listen to it, more you like it. Every single time you listen to a song you start to ignore what you don't like and focus on the good parts. It is not some sort of forbidden chaos sorcery.
BTW do you listen to songs you consider as "meh" multiple times? Bro, that's weird...
Someone else pointed the same thing out in “months of shame”. They called it the “Stringstorm effect”, something which I can relate to wholeheartedly
It's the stringstorm effect, just embrace it.
@@dumbdragon36 Hey Dat me :D
"Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. Those who understand know that you have no right to let them live."
“No sacrifice to great. No treachery to small.”
The sad reality.
Billions lost, but that billion served by not being taken by the innumerable enemy
Yet they further the problem by not educating the citizens about the chaos so 9 out of ten fall not understanding what they are getting themselves into
This made me cry
Destroy 10 billion to save countless billions hard choice but for the greater good its a sacrifice worth making
Fun Fact: This track was actually harder than it should have been to record. I blame the cold where I was recording, personally. I *thought* drinking lemon water would help, but guess how wrong I was about that.

it's hearbreaking. it's amazing. It's incredible, to feel inquisitors being forced out of necessity to kill loyal subjects of the imperium, not out of choice, but because there are no other choice left. Because it's either that, or condemning even more people to the taint of chaos, or horrible death. Even worse. With chaos, who knows what can happen to your mind and soul?
Yet, at the same time, it feels so unfair! Those inquisitors, they can witness chaos and not die? But the brave soldiers who held the line will all have to die because they fought off, and survived chaos? *They* must die? And those astartes, who fell out of grace, because of choices, sometimes similar to the inquisition, they also get excomunicated? and those ones who objected to the deaths of innocents get nearly butchered to the last brother because they dared saying their minds to an inquisitor?
Warhammer 40000 is so unfair… but well. you translated it perfectly in your song, stringstorm.
Yes yes, exactly, I was listening to it trying to figure out which words to use , but you did it perfectly.
I entirely disagree that it's out of nessscity, the Inquisition is wrong. Their just as easily corrupted, their in all ways mostly the bad guys.
You can have guys who think their doing the right thing. But the majority of the time, The Inquisition is kinda wrong ussualy.
@@AbstractTraitorHero I think that's the point of the inquisition. Humanity needs the inquisition to hate them and the inquisition knows this. Or else, without them, people will start knowing about Chaos, the true source of their hate. And that alone would be enough exposure to screw everything up! Besides, it fits 40k! Grimdark! >:D
@@AbstractTraitorHero is not wrong but not right either, chaos is never fully undestood since the information of chaos can spread its influence and the power of the dark gods on the material plain. but also there is not acurate way to prevent the corruption. also lots of inquisitors have their own agendas and ambitions. hence the human factor.
I mean yeah there's some good Inquisitors, but the Inquisition as a whole is just another string in the noose of ignorance and corruption that humanity has been hanging itself with since the Emperor's fall.
This would be a perfect theme for the Inquisitor show

"And that's something that no child should have to be put through."
This hits a lot harder when you remember that pretty much every commissar, every inquisitorial stormtrooper, and a shocking proportion of inquisitors were all orphaned as children.
I can easily see the more well-meaning ones striving to ensure that what happened to them during their childhood happens to as few other children as possible.
"I cross the line for your sake so you don't have to," indeed.
Most Inquisitors have to go through their school, which is a special kind of hell all it's own mind you, as children...and will NEVER speak to their family again afterwards.

"True my lord, I am a psyker. I am indeed a inquisitor as well.
And what of it? Will your prejudice stand in the way of his words? Will your hatred of me stand as hindrance to the will of the empire?
If it be a need, I would suffer your entire pitiful planet to oblivion. Even you, my lord, am but another life to me. And I am the inquisition, the very harbinger's of the emperor's commands.
And so I shall warn you once more, servant of the empire: step aside and let us see to your daughter, or face the wrath of the emperor through me.

So. Step. Aside."

@@lucasbeck1391 me
Change it from empire to imperium, other than that it's perfect.
they never really never explore this aspect of the Inquisition as much as they should. It's always either egotistical tyrants or power hungry psychopaths. This somber pragmatism who knows what he does is a cruel necessity and approaches it as such is rather refreshing
@Alopekis "I shook off her desperate grip and moved on. Do you think me weak, flawed? Do you hate me for setting my inquisitorial role above the needs of one agonised being? If you do, I commend you. I think of that woman still, and hate the fact I left her to die slowly. But if you hate me, I know this about you... you are no inquisitor. You don’t have the moral strength. I could have finished her, and my soul might have been relieved. But that would have been an end to my work. And I always think of me thousands... millions perhaps... who would die worse deaths but for my actions. Is that arrogance? Perhaps... and perhaps arrogance is therefore a virtue of the Inquisition. I would gladly ignore one life in agony if I could save a hundred, a thousand, more... Mankind must suffer so that mankind can survive. It’s that simple. Ask Aemos. He knows. Still, I dream of her and her bloody anguish. Pity me for that, at least."

Well duh! That Inquisitor is a xeno lover! *loads commissar with imperial intent*
In early texts the greater good is literally referenced multiple times before the Fish Weebs ever became a thing.
"Loads Commissar..."
I think the Commissar might object to that...
So this is why the Ordo Hereticus or Ordo Malleus can be sent against Genestealers if the Ordo Xenos isn't there, but not with Tau.
Everyone jokes about Inquisitors being overly harsh with their sentences, but they forget that even seeing daemon could permanently taint and corrupt a man.
I remember a story where an Inquisitor let a few guardsmen live after fighting Nurgle's daemons, and the Guardsmen acted as a vector for the entire planet falling to Chaos.
@@venus1333 dark imperium?
If only they were vaguely competent at investigating to only target those who actually needed to die. Instead many Inquisitors wield mass purges as their hammer and every possible sighting or possible communication of a sighting is a nail.
@@selonianth considering it's normally only one or two Inquisitors investigating an entire planet you can forgive them for not checking every citizen. Also if one city is corrupted than the emperor knows how much of that planet is corrupted. Better safe than sorry.

Is it just me, or these lyrics are 'separated' for Puritan and Radical?
E.g.
"And that’s something no child should have be put through-
*I cross the line for your sake*; so you don’t have to." sound something that radical would say.
"But if that child shall ever even think to stray from the path, They’ll know no mercy- they’ll be purged with unhesitant wrath." is something Puritan would say
and
Radical-sounding: "All of the ends we prevent, yet somehow we are the ones you vilify
"
Puritan-sounding: "If you’d seen what I’d seen, you’d be devastated; you’d be terrified "
Radical-sounding: "So hope for redemption gifted here by the hands of a better man;
"
Puritan-sounding: "Know that my blood-stained palms, will only ever care for a greater plan."
'to call it a hard choice would be but a lie'
that's the point of the inquisition - they are radically devoted to the emperor, murderously so at times. many are self serving, true. but you can pretty much get the idea of what the inquisition is from this song
'all the ends we prevent, yet somehow we are the ones you vilify' - chaos (xenos too, but less so), this line is directed to be chaos, and what they do to keep it from spreading, such as killing tens of millions just to be sure, more even (if needed) and how other people (even astartes to an extent) view the actions.
'if you'd seen what i'd seen, you'd be devastated; you'd be terrified' - again chaos (dark eldar for xenos as well, im thinking, but not sure). chaos will send any normal person into an inescapable madness, only some of the strongest willed (or if your an ork, they dont really pay attention unless it bleeds when hit) people can see some of chaos' stuff and still stay grounded
'so hope for redemption gifted here by the hands of a better man' - purging those tainted, or possibly tainted, by an inquisitors. sometimes it's not needed, but often it's warranted.
'know that my blood-stained palms, will only ever care for a greater plan' - their overall attitude, they dont *get* to be sentimental, their job entails killing even children, families, sometimes infront of the parents/grandparents if it's warranted, killing the staunch, loyal defenders of the imperium, and even cutting off the wings of the emperor's angels on rare occasion. with all that on them, you can imagine why they'd only 'care for a greater plan'
'And that’s something no child should have be put through-
I cross the line for your sake; so you don’t have to.' - self explanatory, they cross the line (Examples are above!) so the majority doesn't have to, so they can have normal (for a warhammer citizen) life.
'But if that child shall ever even think to stray from the path, They’ll know no mercy- they’ll be purged with unhesitant wrath.' pretty much explained already with the stuff above, but chaos worship or xeno alliances. sometimes it's misplaces (that's still probably in the millions, the imperium is BIG) but often it is chaos worshippers, or xeno sympathizers which are looking to undermine defences or destroy from inside, and if that happens to be in say, a hive city, that's putting in the range of millions, to billions, at risk.
@@jrex0522 Trillions, hives number in the trillions. It's why the inquisition while terrifying don't have a complete monster stamp from me. Chaos is a viral cognitohazard, the more people that even know of it the stronger it is. It's a terrible calculus but one the imperium has made.

Wonderfully done Storm and Corgi
We need a story of a guardsmen who in fear of turning goes on a suicide attack doing massive damage, only to be stopped by the other side as he tries to convert the trooper, showing his big steel imperial balls he then calls into a vox, "DO IT!" and an inquisitor detonates enough melta bombs to destroy a chaos prince that the guy had in his pack, point blank, thus killing the enemy big bad. Bonus points if they make it a chaos primarch. Not enough stories about the regular people who fight for the Imperium, too many about the god damn Ultramarines.
"In the endless cycle, I am but a link. To kill one xeno is to succeed, to kill two is to overachieve, but to die is to do my duty. So I shall do my duty, vanish to the Warp, and drag you screaming along with me."

You can hear when the more human side comes in, and the more extreme side comes in perfectly. Both lyrics and music sync perfectly with it.
The Inquisition is filled with crazed paranoia basteds, who spit on the legacy of greater men, and the bodies of billions of innocent. Yet they are still human. Many no doubt regerting their actions, but are taught nothing but to take such actions.
The man who knows he is doing wrong isn't a threat; 'tis the man who deeply believes in the right behind his actions you must fear.
Someone who truly believes what they are doing is right will not hesitate. They will not take detoured routes to their ends; they will see the ordeal to its end, or will see themselves to their own.
The inquisition is bore out of necessity, but they are made up of purely humans. Humans who have to carry a heavy burden and thus they must convince themselves that it is all for a reason. That they aren't simply murdering their fellow humans
The most active portion of the Imperium's defense. They labor so the Imperium's armies can focus on just shooting guns. Planets of paperwork, countless tomes of lore, dark secrets, and dangerous trends.
The Inquisition is worthy of respect, suspicion, and reprimand but far far more respect than the glory obsessed, "Disney story" fans give them.
Sad fact when you live in Warhammer 40K:
Evil is very real and can be physical, the worlds without the witch hunts between 25th and 30th millennium that were progressive and tolerant allowed uncontrolled psykers to summon daemonic Chaos incursions into those worlds that were then brought to ruin or worse -teleported into the Eye of Terror were their human offspring are forever slaves in the Chaos Eternal Game.

Just finished reading Eisenhorn. This is satisfying.

Everybody Heretic until the inquisitor starts speaking coordinates for the exterminatus fleet in orbit
There is no innocence. Only varying degrees of guilt.
I know it's meant for the Inquisition, but this also fits as a theme for Konrad Curze. Or is that just me?
I feel like a Curze theme would be more bitter and sad, in the end Curze(understandably) was crushed by the weight of Nastromo and his visions. In the end he let himself die with a whimper and vindication.
On an HH AU i saw, I think it was the Lionel heresy, where loyalists and Traitors switched sides, I'm pretty sure Conrad was a lord inquisitor there. so it definitely makes sense
Imagine this. The inquisitor is on the hunt fro some heretics on some random world. They chase down someone they think is a heretic and corner them. The “heretic” simply asks how is the inquisitor doing. Cue a long scene of the inquisitor talking about his problems and crying about them and this “heretic” just sort of standing there not actually expecting an answer. After the inquisitor is done venting about their problems the “heretic” ask “do you feel better?” Then the inquisitor just shoots them in the head with a bolt pistol and says “a little”
Inquisitor: "Are we the baddies?"
"No. We are winning son."
"Yes. But we have to be."
When you're sitting in the interrogation chair and the inquisitor breaks out this monologue u know you're fuk'd
"Yes Inquisitor, but you blew up our soon-to-be fortress monastery planet because there was *one* heretic."
One they could see...who knows how many others were hiding...
One of my favorite factions. This is how you be properly grimdark. Not by eating orphans or using slaves to load giant guns, but to have a force that uses evil methods for a good cause. They have little choice.
This gives some much needed context to Months of Shame. It's very important to understand that most Inquisitors don't take human life lightly but they will do everything they think is necessary to protect the Imperium.
Shouldn't it be "The death of Innocents" ?
This was a question from the Ordo Grammaticus
Maybe they're talking about their own innocence, not necessarily the innocents they have to kill. There may be plenty of inquisitors who regret their actions, but know that they were necessary.
Everyone is guilty of something. You just have to look hard enough.

You mon'keigh place too much currency on faith and not enough on mirth. Consider the Orks... they fight because it's FUN.

If an Inquisitor starts laughing, RUN.
"There are monsters in this world, believe me on this. But worry not, for we have monsters of our own. Yes, sometimes they bite those they protect but it is always to cause the blood that has been poisoned to be let lose from our bodies. Yes, they are monsters believe me on this. If it was not for those monsters we would truly understand the meaning of fear."
"Those who can do what must be done, no matter the cost to themselves or others concern me... Are they angels, Demons, Both? I guess the question is answered by what end of the sword you are on at any given time. Regardless they are needed, for if not for them then we would all be damned rather then just them."
I always liked the idea of the hero that came off as a villain. I will always hold that Monsters are needed in our world even IRL, so long as someone is holding their leash. If that leash slips then you get horror, if the leash is held tight then they will be honored. That is the thing about monsters, the judgement is from the Observer and subjective.
There is no such thing as a 'Clean' war, but here is a question. If you had the ability to ensure only 25% of a population in a nation would die in a war instead of 75% would you? Sometimes the most horrifying war is the shortest because the enemy will want an end as soon as possible to end the horror.
This chose was made IRL in WWII, and because of it Japan still exists. The Japanese would have fought to the last man, women, and child. They would have all died honorably before surrendering and bending the knee. It took a weapon of such horror and destruction as a Nuclear Bomb to change that, and even then it took two. I will always respect the choice of using those horrifying weapons, because in the end their use allowed the enemy nation to still exist after the war.
In the end, this song is... far too true and on point to not get a huge like from me. May those who are horrified by the idea of doing such a thing always have monsters to do what must be done, so they can keep living any kind of life which they can actually look themselves in the mirror and not throw up.
Respect the Inquisitor for their sacrifice, not that of their life but that of their own soul and know that in the name of the Imperium their greatest regret is that they can only do it once.
Accept Japan dint surrender because of the atomic boms they dint care about those as in reality hiroshima and nagasaki were minor unprotected civilian sites, the real reason they surrendered is because of Soviet union invading manchuria and Japan finding themselves surrounded by over 17 countries on all sides just like Germany at the end.
"We don't have to pretend we're good people. We want to be obsolete."

@@Riimaachan Except the Emperor of Japan explicitly said in his surrender announcement that it was because of the bomb. Granted fear of Soviet invasion was also a concern.

@@elysiankentarchy1531 lmao no, he never said anything about the bomb, on the other hand the generals and the emperor knew that its better to surrender to the soft and easy allies rather than have the brutal Soviet warmachine rampage and kill nonstop on Japanese soil, that quote you mentioned most likely applies to how ruthless the Soviets will be not to the atomic bombs that alredy ran out and dint do any substantial damage besides 2 unprotected civilian cities
I care not for your excuses! I stand with the Sons of Russ and the Celestial Lions! Down with these killers of innocent Guardsmen and soldiers!

Not sure if it was intentional or not, but parts of this sound like the Inquisition parts Months of Shame, and that's kind of cool.
Inquisitors: have seen horrors beyond comprehension, born witness to entire populations fallen to rampant Chaos worship, and deal with the entire Imperium on a galactic scale.

The inquisition broke an oath. All that can be said, is you reap what you sow.
@@danj9580 There is a oath every inqusitior swears before becoming one: Do whatever is necessary to ensure survival of humanity.

Fantastic work! Months of shame is one of my favourites for the story and feelings that are part of the song, so it´s no surprise that I enjoy Vilified.
I also really enjoy Cpl. Corgi´s vocals quite a lot!
This song represent the biggest problem with 40k Inqusition. They were suppoused to be gray figures, a necessary evil for the sake of safekeeping mankind and seeing Exterminatus as their ultimate failure in servis of the Emperor. Instead, we have mostly(Eisnhorn is still a thing) a bunch of pridefull, arrogant and veeeery hipocritical assholes with culmination in Months of Shame. Their pettiness towards Celestial Lions or completly retarted actions of Kryptman who instead of repelling Tyranids just nuke loyal planets and strenghten both nids and orcs...
Months of shame is perfect example of vilification of Inquisition. They were doing their frigging job there. Those millions of guardsmen who they wanted to eradicate were infested by either already corrupted guardsmen, those who had seed of corruption in them, those who were future gateway for chaos and those already demon possesed.
Due to sheer numbers of them and difficulty of detecting these cases it would be impossible even for Inquisition to properly investigate every single one of them. Especialy demon possesions can be undetectable even by very powerfull psykers. So they chose for sake of rest of Imperium to kill them all, innocent and guilty together.
And of course Space Wolves mucked it up. They saved few millions of guardsmen (of which many were corrupted or worse) and allowed them to spread into wide imperium, where they inevitably founded myriads of chaos cults which lead to entire cities and planets burning down, with casulties in billions at least.
This was prime example of killing 100 to save 10000. And yet they were villified for this choice.
"I am but a shadow that rests on a home" is an absolutely *killer* line, well placed at the start. It's all great, but that especially stood out to me. My imagination got captured in a single phrase. Very glad I found this.
''Your daily work brings you closer and closer to the warp, increases your understanding of orderless powers. Gradually, without noticing it, even the most puritanical and rod-stiff inquisitor becomes seduced... The first step is the knowledge. An inquisitor must understand the basic traits of Chaos in order to fight it. In a few years, he knows more about the warp than most untutored cultists. Then the second step: the moment he breaks the rules and allows some aspect of Chaos to survive or remain so that he can study it and learn from it... The third step... the third step is the line itself. When the inquisitor becomes a radical. When he chooses to use Chaos against Chaos. When he employs the agencies of the warp. When he asks the heretical for help... So... are you going to ask me to help you?''

This song and Months of shame, are you bating people into making Warhammer musical or something.
First time listening: It's okay.
Second time: Okay, it's pretty good.
Third: THE DEATH OF INNOCENCE IS BUT NECESSITY!!
Innocence proves nothing
Gotta admit, I was hoping for a more "heroic" Inquisition song. Aaaaand I got it.
I disliked the inquisition at first thinking they were trigger happy murderer, like the months of shame, or at least my understanding of it. But then I've seen some animations and story's that showcased to me the sheer horrifying presence that is chaos, that there can be no quarter given, lest the imperium fall again. The inquisition is a necessary evil that exists for a reason
Some may question my right to destroy a world of 10 billion souls, but those who truly understand realise I have no right to let them live.
This sounds like an inquisitor trying to tell themselves they did the right thing by letting an entire planet of warriors who did served the emperor be exterminatused
In what circumstances did they get exterminused tho?
This is an exaggerated joke btw, inquisition is barely ever used and whenever an inquisitor misues it he's quickly found guilty of wasting ressources by fellow inquisitors and summarily executed.
Did this planet of soldiers succumb to chaos, to genestealers? Was a portal to the warp summoned through mass sacrifice and now daemons are spilling over the entire world like an unstoppable tide of demonic monsters? Were the soldiers corrupted by the influence of Chaos, by one of the deadlier of Nurgle's plague?
Unless there is a very good reason an inquisitor wouldn't exterminatus a world. There are lesser steps to this all. Incising the cancer instead of amputating the whole arm is often an inquisitor's first course of action.
@@silverbladeofnorth7345
As already stated, the Inquisition doesn’t kill billions for fun but only when theres literally no other choice.
The exterminatus trigger happy inquisitor is just a meme spread by the community far too many times over and over again.
Exterminatuses are RARE. Capital letters RARE. After every single exterminatus order the one who gave the order is investigated in order to find out how justified it was to destroy that world.
If it was not justified enough he simply gets executed.
About the Imperium tho.. you realize it stood for 10k years without the direct emperor’s guidance nor his primarchs
The Imperium deteriorated but you should be amazed that it stood for ten thousand years rather than being disgusted by what it became.
@@silverbladeofnorth7345 Yes it is actualy impresive that Imperium did not collapse ages ago. Considering that its main governing authority was Emperor and bunch of Primarchs who ALL within very short time all either died, turned traitors to all humanity or became unavailible while leaving behind Imperium in tatters and with no procedures ready to how to govern without their supreme leaders...
Just the fact alone that Imperium did not shatter into thousands of smaller independent factions, each claiming to be the only rightfull heirs to Imperium legacy is miracle in itself. Just look at our history. There was never any nation where there was so much power concentrated into hands of few leaders which did not collapse aftrer those leaders died/stepped down.
Despite how horrible is current condition of Imperium, fact that even after 10k years it is still kicking and being major force in the universe is testament to fact that a lot of people in those years had to do a lot of good work. Inquisition included.
@@iglidorthe Primarchs never governed sh*t with a few exceptions. Primarchs and the Legiones Astartes were the weapons of conquest, nothing more.
The Imperium was governed by the Emperor and Malcador and individual planets were governed by mortals in their stead.

Get the hell out.
The inquisition does what it must. The fact that they won't hesitate to go toe to toe against space Marines just empathizes how important they are

And the year starts off well... too well.
Yes finally a song that shows the perspective of the inquisition. Glory to true defenders of humanity!
Bold words for someone in friendly fire range.
I mean the inquisition has caused like a dozen cross fire wars against the imperium they are effectively the most militant Puritan and dangerous aspect of the imperium
@@tylerulfmann4586 They're also as essential to the imperium's survival as the imperial guard itself. They are the ones who deal with countless internal threats the imperium faces. If not for the inquisition's efforts, chaos cults, genestealers and just simple rebellion or corruption would cause the already unstable imperium to completely collapse. Such is the reality of the 41st millennium. Executing some small group of heretics on a random agri-world is something that may seem insignificant but not doing that would have grave consequences.
As majorkill would word it "The Inqusition is like the Imperium's Anus in a way that You don't like looking at it, but without it the imperium would have so much shit it'd just die"
There's always stands a great buldwark beetwen the humanity and untolded evil of this galaxy.
This is why the Months of Shame and the First War for Armageddon is such a tragedy.
Both the Inquisition and Space Wolves were doing the right thing, from their perspective and had eminent justification to do so.
I'll be honest, I absolutely love the vocals for the inquisitor parts of the songs. The lyrics are amazing and... damn, I can't think of anything that could possibly measure up to how I feel about this song aside for: Great job and a happy new year!
Wow a Stringstorm song where the lyrics match the background music?
Color me surprised.
Don't get me wrong, the instrumental of the song is always amazing, and the lyrics will be a great poem, but together they do not normally make a good song.
Normally it's like a brownie in a slice of pizza you'd be entirely willing to have one after the other, but putting them into a blender and combining them is just not an option.
Short, sweet, and to the point - like a cyclonic torpedo.
Edit: Also I admit to sometimes blasting this in DOOM: Eternal on that one mission where you blast a hole into the surface of Mars.
But you can't just blast a hole into the surface of Mars.
In a very weird way, the inquisition is following the emperor's last orders to a T. He may have banned religion, yet he often acted as a demigod and ordered nobody question him on it. The Inquisition ensures the subjects of the imperium are untainted by chaos, and *ensure* that they stay loyal to the Emperor. The Emperor saw no reason not to use EXTREME force in certain situations out of logic, the inquisition follows his logic to a T. The only thing that truly changed from emperor to inquisition was simply what they shot you in the head over to an extent. Lack of working for the emperor? BLAM. Falling to Chaos? BLAM. Saying Magnus was a good child? BLAM. They shoot you for the same shit but are polar opposites, and then inherently the exact same thing, for as to why. The Inquisition kills over religion to the most extreme. The Emperor kills over atheisms to the most Extreme. In the end both kill for the exact same reason. It's, almost funny, how if the Emperor returned (I pray he doesn't), that the Inquisition would, by a simple brand change, be his best buds.
Ironically, the Inquisition would be the Emperor's greatest enemy because they would never accept that the Emperor just came back. They would suspect Chaotic interference or that Emperor is not even the real Emperor, and when their investigations are denied they would turn on him with all their might.
@@sygmarvexarion7891 Thing is, Big E presence alone or even just a sliver of his attention should be enough to calm down inquisition. Yeah they would be extremely suspicious at first and if Big E would show that he did not learn anything from Horus Heresy and would try to simply blow them away, they would get hostile.
But if he would take bit of his time to deal with them personaly, they would fall in line. Its not as if Big E would need to meet every inquisitor. They have hierarchy. All he would need is to meet with their top leaders, not act like douche and trying to hide everything and tell them nothing, and they would support him in anything he would ask of them
Inquisition: literally kills billions of loyal citizens
Inquisition: why does nobody like me?
So I've listened to this song a dozen times over because I have a literal lore boner for the inquisition and I just want to point out to everyone saying "greater good=heresy". You are so terribly off the mark, in the earliest texts of warhammer The imperium used that term long before the space weebd ever did
Apparently the further you look into the lore the more your ability to see obvious humor and irony fades.
@@uberness77 The Bloody Magpies stole his sense of humor.
That was great! This is sort of what I imagine the villain's theme sounding like in some weird alternate universe where Disney made an animated Warhammer 40K movie.
This song: Literally about why the Inquisition aren't the bad guys.
Me: Tell that to Armageddon. Or Typhon Primaris. Or the Celestial Lions. Tell that to Malcador!
Wasn't Malcador the one that created the Inquisition?
Exanom malcador made the grey knights and put the bases of the inquisition
@@exanom8623 Yep. As far as I've heard and read though, the modern Inquisition is far from what it was originally meant to be.
This song pretty much perfectly describes why I can't get myself to take 40k seriously. There's no stakes if everything is fucked and doomed, the whole thing invokes the "Eight Deadly Words" - "I don't care what happens to these people." Everything is already fucked. What's the point of giving a single solitary fuck, who am I supposed to root for if there are no good people? It takes a comedic series that makes light of the pants-on-head retarded, distilled *_edge_* of the setting to get me even remotely invested in any characters originating from 40k.
And that's okay! :D
Sure, everything is screwed so why keep going? Who is there to root for if there's no good guys? What's at stake?
Is simple!
You keep going because its the right thing to do.
You root for the right things, despite if the actions done is good or bad.
If the world does not care for what happens to anyone, then be the one that cares for them!
If everyone has nothing to lose, then there's no other option but to gain!
In a galaxy filled with dread, apathy, and darkness, be the small flicker that ignites the galaxy! o 3o

As an Inquisitor I have committed every act to preserve mankind against the enemies that will seek to destroy us. I often ask myself why I continue to do this, why do I burn worlds to the ground, why do I have such paranoia against my fellow man, why do I continue to be the monster? Then I remember the worlds untouched by the Alien, the Mutant, and the Heretic, and see the Citizen of our Imperium safe with their families and friends. They do not know the horrors I have seen nor the acts of pure evil committed by our enemies, I Inquisitor Garza, fight these horrors and nightmares so that others worlds never suffered what I have suffered, and will protect them even I become a monster to the eyes of these people.
