'The Daughters Awakening"

[Intro - soft humming, solo organ,violin, low oboe in background] [Verse I – call and response] [Male Vocal] On San Leor’s sands we rose, [choir] Blades in hand, our faith unclose. [Male Vocal] Pure devotion, hearts of flame, Warriors bound in the Emperor’s name. [Chorus-Sung by the full choir in unison, voices low and resonant at first, rising at the final line] O Emperor, guide our hand! Through blood, through fire, we make our stand. In darkest night, Your light we see, Brides of the Throne, eternally! [Verse II – Female Chorus, Layered Harmonies] A tyrant’s voice we did obey, His throne of lies led souls astray. Yet still we prayed, yet still we fought, Believing truth in faith we sought. [Chorus-Female Chorus Unified Shout] O Emperor, guide our hand! Through blood, through fire, we make our stand. In darkest night, Your light we see, Brides of the Throne, eternally! [Verse III – Female Chorus, roaring climax] The Custodians spoke His word, The Emperor’s will at last we heard. Blindness shattered, faith made pure, Our vows renewed, our hearts secure. [Chorus- Female Chorus] O Emperor, guide our hand! Through blood, through fire, we make our stand. In darkest night, Your light we see, Brides of the Throne, eternally! [Verse IV – Female chorus] No men of arms the Creed may hold, But daughters strong, with spirits bold, Forged in faith, our Order stands, The Emperor’s wrath in mortal hands. [Final Chorus-all sing, Battle March] O Emperor, guide our hand! Through blood, through fire, we make our stand. From ash and sin, Your will was wrought, Sisters of Battle, forever sought! [Closing- Benediction Echo , Choir fades into a whispered chant ] “Ave Imperator… Ave Imperator…”
