Warhammer 40k. Ksun Bakir

Mood: ancient, majestic, ruthless, triumphant, immortal, cosmic, intimidating. I slept when your suns were young. I saw empires born and their names erased from the memory of the stars. You call this eternity? I call it morning. [Verse I] Light flares beneath the black sky, Tombs opened after millions of years. My legions emerge from sleep, And once again silence trembles beneath us. Green lightning cuts granite, Ancient metal awakens and speaks. No fear, no pain, no pleas, no prayers— Only the line of my warriors among the dead slabs. I remember planets that are no more, I knew kings who have become a trace. And if the entire cosmos decides to say to me: "Bow before us!" I will laugh. [Pre-Chorus] Raise the banners. Awaken the palaces. Let the worlds hear my voice again. I do not ask for a throne. I take the ether. Remember the name: KSUN BAKHIR! [Chorus] I am crowned by ETERNITY! I RETURN FROM THE DARKNESS! Let the stars collapse, let the worlds perish—we will be the last to stand! I do not need paradise, I do not need an idol. My name is carried by the endless ether! Let the galaxy whisper, while it still lives: KSUN! KSUN! KSUN BAKHIR! [Verse II] You built temples on our bones, You thought the ancients had vanished into dreams. You divided planets, crowns, seas, Not knowing to whom this land belonged. And now the tramp of metal feet is heard, And each of your prophets has forgotten his god. Monoliths rise like black cities, And the night over the planet turns green. Let humans call this the end of time, Let the orks roar that a new battle has begun. Let daemons gaze upon the throne from the warp— I belong to no one. But myself. [Chorus] I am crowned by ETERNITY! I RETURN FROM THE DARKNESS! Let the stars collapse, let the worlds perish— we will be the last to stand! I will not bow. I don't ask. I will even take a crown from death. Let the galaxy whisper, while it still lives: KSUN! KSUN! KSUN BAKHIR! [Bridge - music abruptly stops] Death came to me one day. She knocked on the gates of my tomb. I asked: "Who are you?" She answered: "I am the end of everything." … I opened the door. I looked into her eyes. And said: "Get in line." [A Hard Loss] AWAKEN! Legions of Steel! RISE! Those Who Have Been Forgotten! LIGHT UP! Dead Suns of the Worlds! LET ALL HEAR— OUR ETERNITY HAS RETURNED! [Verse III] My palace is reflected in the stardust, My ships obscure their lights. Behind every portal—a countless line, Behind every command—my cold peace. But I am not a statue of ancient times, Not a ghost chained to stone and dreams. I love to see how a new aeon Crawls quietly at my feet in terror. Let some call me a monster of darkness. Let some dream of defeating me. I've heard it a million times. And where are they now? [Final chorus - a massive choir of Necrons] SHE is crowned by ETERNITY! SHE RETURNS FROM THE DARKNESS! Let the stars collapse, let the worlds perish— The NECRONS know no mercy! No fear in their eyes, no turning back. Millions of legions marching out! Let the galaxy tremble, let the ether crack: KSUN! KSUN! KSUN BAKHIR! [Finale - Xun Bakir's voice] You can run. You can pray. You can gather the armies of this entire small galaxy. It will even be beautiful. But remember one thing. I did not come to conquer eternity. I came to reclaim what was always mine. KSUN BAKHIR. and I WILL OUTLIVE THE STARS.
