[Tense epic battle intro]

[Verse]
(Listen)
Listen close, Inquisitor, let me bare my soul in bars,  
I’m a son of the Emperor, bringing truth beneath the stars.  
Got purity seals clinging to battered ceramite plate,  
Yet the shadows in my mind keep me wide awake too late.

I was forged on blood-soaked worlds, duty shining in my eyes,  
Trained to burn all heresy wherever it might lie.  
When the order came for purges, I believed it was just,  
"Cleanse the xeno, purge the mutant,”—holy scriptures to trust.

We marched across the ashes, chanting litanies of might,  
Brother after brother, we inflicted righteous fight.  
Flamers roared, bolt shells soared—souls fell beneath the blade,  
But in the hush of aftermath, that duty starts to fade.

[Verse]
Now I stand before your judgment, and demand the reasons why  
Whole planets left in cinders, naught but ghosts to testify.  
Did I sin in my devotion, or was I only a tool  
Of the Imperium’s design—loyal soldier or a fool?

I ask: “Inquisitor, is this cruelty or fate?  
Does the Emperor’s light guide us, or we blindly feed the hate?”  
Our war cries turned to screams—yet the voices fade away,  
Leaving me alone, uncertain in each vow I must obey.

[Epic guitar solo]

[Verse]
So tell me, Lord Inquisitor, how do we weigh the cost?  
Thousands heretics world we've purged, but was humanity lost?  
I want to see some logic here, want to see the bigger plan,  
But the faith that once stood firm now shakes in my hand.

Step closer, feel my presence, see the sorrow in my eyes,  
The corpses on those children still scream in silent cries.  
I need an absolution, or some glimpse behind the shroud,  
No sermon from the Codex, but a truth said out loud!!

I once roared for Terra’s glory—now I choke on bitter guilt,  
Pray these words might crack my armor, as my spirit starts to wilt.  
For every child we silenced, every city that was burned,  
Where is the Emperor’s mercy? Has our victory truly turned?

[Epic bridge]
[Verse]
Answer me, Inquisitor! With that gaze so cold as ice:  
Am I forever damned for serving this sacrifice?!  
Will the Imperium hold me high, or chain me in my shame?! 
I fought for all mankind, but now question who’s to blame!

[Drop]
And so… I stand here trembling, feeling everything undone,  
A beast with hands still dripping, from the battles we have won.  
Let me hear your verdict, let me face your final vow...

[voice drops to whisper]  
I only seek forgiveness... but fear there’s none for me... now.

[Coda]
