Krieg (Warhammer 40k Metal Song)

A short story of Krieg

Palaces rise tall and grand
Prosperity across the land
Rich and thriving it stood tall
Krieg was shining over all

Market streets bustling loud
Noble houses standing proud
Wealth and power in their hands
On the surface of these lands

Golden dreams in endless miles
We were kings in lavish styles
In gold halls laughter echoes
But behind the hubris grows

In the heart of hives so grand
We took matters in our hands
Renounced the old Imperium
Found our own millennium

We are Krieg
We are free
From the chains of old decree
Stand our ground
Hear the sound
Rebel souls we are unbound

Ferrograd the fortress strong
Imperial guard where we belong
Through the ash and dust we fight
For the Emperor's holy light

Colonel Jurten takes command
In the hive we make our stand

Bombs fall the ground shakes
In the battle no one breaks
Sheltering dreams in the fallen dust
In Jurten's hands we place our trust

Krieg’s fate decided cold
Order given brave but bold
Sacrifice for future bright
In the dark a blinding light

World in ashes skies so grey
Colonel Jurten’s fateful day
Emperor’s Ascension calls
Nuclear wind through the walls

Ashes rise where cities laid
Blistered ground where children played
Divine decree must be obeyed
Treachery must be repaid

In darkness we were born anew
To the throne we swore true
Every battle scar we’ve gained
Is penance for the treachery stained

We march to purge the past
In the emperor’s light we cast
Soldiers forged from shame
The death Corps of krieg we became

In darkness we were born anew
To the throne we swore true
Every battle scar we’ve gained
Is penance for the treachery stained

No glory here no songs of fame
Just the solemn duty's flame
Trench by trench we purge our shame
For the glory of Kriegs Name
