A Xth Legion song about how they struggled during the Horus Heresy after the death of their Primarch Ferrus Manus. This is one of my favourite songs I've wrote and I hope you guys like it. It would take a whole lore video to breakdown the lyrics but in short it's about the Iron Hands trying to hold their legion together, misplacing their anger and misunderstanding their Primarch's final words. Themes of loss & tragedy, how it affects those around you, the drive for revenge, misinterpreting a deceased's words and the martyrdom that often follows.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Our legion is slipping straight through the cracks
Yet you can't see what's right in front of you
The fault lays on the hands that wield the sword
So don't turn your back on me when vengeance is assured

Pre-Chorus:
Beaten down on the anvil to break before we bend
Desperate to cling to a false pretence
Rusting away the truth the canticle can't relent
So reforge all the links that we all descent

Chorus 1:
Men of Iron who tread the storm
Thy flesh is weak but your hearts are stone
Seek redemption and nothing else
Wardens of Medusa
Breakers of the forge

Verse 2:
An empire crowned
In a cycle of demise
With utter surety
We will give our lives
Dauntless he thought us
Never to concede
Less it falls into anarchy

Chorus 2:
Men of Iron who tread the storm
Thy flesh is weak but your hearts are stone
Seek redemption and nothing else
Wardens of Medusa
Breakers of the forge
Stand and be judged, Brothers of Iron
The day is lost but the dawn will come
Think not of grief but to his final words
May flesh be a memory

Chorus 3:
Men of Iron who tread the storm
Thy flesh is weak but your hearts are stone
Seek redemption and nothing else
Wardens of Medusa
Breakers of the forge
Stand and be judged, Brothers of Iron
The day is lost but the dawn will come
Think not of grief but to his final words
May flesh be a memory when all is said and done
