[instrumental] [slow] [verse] In a grim and dark future, where exists only war, The Imperium stands tall, cus no other option's, left anymore, Each man is but cog, in a broken machine, To live and die, to enemy stall, Controls long decayed, prayed into sin, The imperium stands tall, Dream destroyed, entombed by treason's grin. [chorus] Stand now, sons of blazing steel, raise your banners, break their thrall, Hold the line through corrupt midnight, for the Imperium stands tall. We oil the gears with blood and prayer, we answer when the throne will call, All that’s left of hope and hammer - (the Imperium stands tall!!!) [instrumental] [verse] We mend the rust with hymn and oath, we stitch the hulls with faith, Cathedrals cleansing that which once was pure, now in exterminatus it shall bathe, Long lost, the difference of where heaven ends and hell begins, We praise the golden throne to drown the doubt we have within. Ships akin to weathered coffins, charting course to their last brawl, We keep the watch, we feed the gears, the Imperium stands tall. [chorus] Stand now, sons of blazing steel, raise your banners, break their thrall, Hold the line through corrupt midnight, for the Imperium stands tall. We oil the gears with blood and prayer, we answer when the throne will call, All that’s left of hope and hammer - (the Imperium stands tall!!!) [short acapella instrumental] [quiet] [chorus] Stand now, sons of blazing steel, raise your banners, break their thrall, Hold the line through corrupt midnight, for the Imperium stands tall. We oil the gears with blood and prayer, we answer when the throne will call, All that’s left of hope and hammer - (the Imperium stands tall!!!) [end]
