The Emperial Guard - Lines in the Sand | Powermetal | Warhammer 40K Fan Song

Описание: Men, we are the first, last and often only line of defence the Imperium has against what is out there. You and that fine piece of Imperial weaponry you hold in your hands is all that is keeping humanity alive. Most of you will probably not live to see your second year in the Guard and most of you will probably never see your homeworlds again, but I can guarantee you that when you do fall, with a prayer to the most high and mighty God-Emperor on your lips, you will have earned the right to call yourself a man!
— Staff Sergeant Vermak, 12th Cadian Shock Regiment

This song was another request and I really hope it meets the expectations 😁.

The Emperial Guard - Lines in the Sand | Powermeta song was created by AI with ChatGPT (Lyrics), Suno (Song) and Midjourney (Art) as an unofficial fan song for the brave soldiers of The Emperial Guard, the Astra Militarum, from Warhammer 40K.

Enjoy 😁
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Ten billion souls march through the void
Lasgun in hand, flesh and blood deployed
Against the dark that thirsts for more
We are the hammer, we are the war

From hive world slums to palace halls
When Terra's children hear the call
We take our place in endless ranks
No questions asked, we fill the gaps

Pre-Chorus
The Commissar's bolt pistol gleams
Behind our backs, behind our dreams
One step back means death today
But forward lies a darker way

Chorus
*What is the price of holding the line?*
*A million lives for the Emperor's shrine*
*Stand and die where you're told to stand*
*We are the Guard, we hold this land*
*Through the fire, through the pain*
*Only in death do we break the chain*
*What is the price of one more day?*
*Everything we are, we give away*

Verse 2
Mortars scream across no-man's land
Trenches carved by dying hands
The enemy comes in endless waves
We'll meet them here among the graves

Fixed bayonets and final prayers
Death walks freely, nobody cares
For Johnny from the agri-world
Or Sarah with her hair in curls

Pre-Chorus
The vox crackles with orders grim
"Hold sector seven, don't let them in"
We know we'll never see the dawn
But still we fight, we carry on

Chorus
*What is the price of holding the line?*
*A million lives for the Emperor's shrine*
*Stand and die where you're told to stand*
*We are the Guard, we hold this land*
*Through the fire, through the pain*
*Only in death do we break the chain*
*What is the price of one more day?*
*Everything we are, we give away*

Verse 3
Angels of death descend from the sky
Bolters roar as the heretics die
We march beside the Emperor's sons
But we're just meat when the battle's done

Space Marines stride through plasma fire
While we crawl through blood and mire
They are legends, we are dirt
Born to bleed, born to hurt

Pre-Chorus 3
The Astartes never look our way
We're just numbers in the fray
Honored to die in their shadow cast
Knowing our glory will never last

Chorus
*What is the price of holding the line?*
*A million lives for the Emperor's shrine*
*Stand and die where you're told to stand*
*We are the Guard, we hold this land*
*Through the fire, through the pain*
*Only in death do we break the chain*
*What is the price of one more day?*
*Everything we are, we give away*

Bridge (Slower, more somber)
In the mud and blood and rain
We carve our names in endless pain
No heroes here, just flesh and bone
Standing together, dying alone

The golden throne demands its due
Your life, my life, we're just the few
Who stand between the light and dark
Bearing the Emperor's burning mark

Final Chorus (Building to crescendo)
*This is the price of holding the line!*
*A billion souls for the Emperor's shrine*
*We stood and died where we were told to stand*
*We were the Guard, we held this land*
*Through the fire, through the pain*
*In death alone we broke the chain*
*This was the price of one more day...*
*Everything we were... we gave away*

Second Final Chorus (Even more powerful)
*What is the honor of cannon fodder?*
*To die beside the Emperor's sons*
*Angels of death and mortal men*
*Together we fight, alone we fall*
*Through the fire, through the shame*
*Only in death, we earned our name*
*What is the price of standing tall?*
*To be forgotten after all*

Forward, for the Emperor
Forward, for the Throne
Forward, into darkness
Forward, and alone
