[Intro - low orcarina with weaves of oboe] [Verse I – a singing vow] Born in fire, our vows were sworn, From blood and martyrdom we are reborn. With bolter’s roar and blade held high, We strike with wrath, we do not die. [Chorus -Chant] Rise, Sisters, the Bloody Rose! Crimson blossoms where hatred grows. In fire, in fury, the heretic falls, The Emperor’s wrath forever calls! [Verse II – The Martyrs’ Legacy] The roses bloom on fields of pain, Watered by blood, in holy rain. Our saints look down with burning eyes, Their voices thunder in battle-cries. [Chorus - Chant)] Rise, Sisters, the Bloody Rose! Crimson blossoms where hatred grows. In fire, in fury, the heretic falls, The Emperor’s wrath forever calls! [Verse III – The Charge] No wall shall stand, no foe shall last, When Sisters strike, their fate is cast. With flamer’s kiss, with chainsword’s bite, We drown the dark in holy light! Chorus (Final – Roared as One) Rise, Sisters, the Bloody Rose! Crimson blossoms where hatred grows. In fire, in fury, the heretic falls, The Emperor’s wrath forever calls! [Benediction -Closing Echo, whispered in fading voices as drums beat like a heartbeat, until silence] “Ave Imperator… Ave Imperator…”
