We Burned It for Good Reasons - A Warhammer 40k Inspired Song

Описание: The fifth song in the "Cursed Sounds from the Warp" album. The Salamander's are known for being one of the kindest chapters. They will gladly defend the average civilian with their lives, while other chapters would turn their noses up and call those people "acceptable losses".

However, one time Vulkan decided that Eldar children aren't the same as human children, thus making the chapter the butt of constant jokes of being hypocrites. The Salamander's now seek to clear the air...


"Cursed Sounds from the Warp" is a collaborative project between myself and my friends to utilize "Abominable Intelligence" to develop funny/cursed concepts utilizing the Warhammer 40k lore. The song concepts are based on word play or exaggeration of faction traits to put together comedic and catchy songs of various styles.

[Lyrics]

(Verse 1)
Here we go again, another tale to tell,
Whispers in the corner, "The Salamanders fell."
“They burned a child, how cruel, how grim!”
Yeah? Guess what — we’re burning him too...Tim.

Not sorry, not sad, no tears to shed,
When a xenos talks, it’s better off dead.
We don't need a tribunal, don't need your applause,
We light the torch in the Emperor’s cause!

We light the torch in the Emperor’s cause!

(Chorus)
We burned it for good reasons!
It smiled with too many teeth!
We burned it for good reasons!
That thing wasn’t underneath!
Cry about it if you must,
But xenos bones still turn to dust!
We burned it—
AND WE'D BURN IT AGAIN.

(Verse 2)
Do you know what happens when you hesitate?
You get mind-tricked, stabbed, or worse — your soul played.
A “child” with fangs is still a beast,
We saw through the lies, we made it cease.

You want a tragedy? Go sing a song,
We’ll be over here setting right from wrong.
No second chances, no second looks,
Only pure flames from our sacred books!

(Chorus)
We burned it for good reasons!
It blinked in seven hues!
We burned it for good reasons!
It called Daemons as a ruse!
Pity’s cheap, but faith is steel—
Our fires cleanse what’s truly real!
We burned it—
AND WE'D BURN IT AGAIN!

(Bridge)
Not every horror wears a mask.
Not every monster drips with tusks.
Some just laugh...
In the wrong tongue.

And we?
We answer with flame.

(Final Chorus)
We burned it for good reasons!
The creed is never wrong!
We burned it for good reasons!
The weak don't last that long!
Light the pyres, clear the skies—
Better ash than another lie!
We burned it—
AND WE'D BURN IT AGAIN!

(Outro)
...and next time, we’ll bring more promethium.
