Wall of Iron - a Warhammer 40K Mordian Iron Guard song

Описание: The Mordian Iron Guard are Imperial Guard regiments, originally from the planet Mordian. A harsh and unforgiving planet given to extremes, it was ruled in the Emperor's name by a body known as the Tetrarchs. The rule of the Tetrarchs was harsh, autocratic and above all absolute, a necessity due to planet's scarce and strictly-rationed resources. This environment bred a regimental system dedicated to the chain of command and an iron discipline at all levels. The Mordian Iron Guard are named and renowned for their iron resolve and their dour and unforgiving natures.

Lyrics:

Mordia stands! The line holds fast!
Volley and fire — the die is cast!
Bayonets gleam in the devil’s face,
Marching in lockstep, death in place!
Hold the breach! Do not yield!
Iron Guard dies before they kneel!


Stand! Stand for the Tetrarchs' law!
Hold! Hold though the stars may fall!
March! March with your rifle tight—
Mordian guardsmen, children of night!


Mordia stands! Through flame and fear!
No daemon breaks our battle-gear!
Volley and charge! In rows we die!
But not one turns, not one cries.
Grim of voice and sharp of eye,
The Iron Guard will never die!

'
Stand! Stand in the Emperor’s name!
Hold! Hold through the warp and flame!
March! March ‘til the void runs red—
Mordian Iron Guard, never forget!


Mordia lives! In every man!
A fortress line, a breathless sight.
Iron hearts, unshaken gaze,
We bring the storm in drilled arrays.
Raise the flag! Let thunder roll!
Iron Guard — line, rank, and soul!


“In line we march, in line we fall,
By Tetrarch’s word, by Emperor’s call.
The darkness ends when Mordian leads—
A wall of iron that never yealds.”


March, march, Mordian steel!
Break their lines and never yield!
Hold! Hold! Fire at will!
Iron Guard, we kill, stand still!
March, march, through death and flame,
Honor, duty, never shame!
In night eternal, we make our stand,
The Emperor's will is in our hand!
