This is Cadian 99th last transmission. Emperor preserve us, But we will not break. [verse 1] Steel boots sinking in a world on fire, Ash rains down from the sky like a choir. Lasguns dim, ammo’s running dry, But our banner still bleeds against the night. [chorus] Hold the line though the walls are burning! Hold the line though the void is churning! If this is the end, then let it be sung, That we died with our faith, and our rifles rung! They are at the gates they are in the wire Emperor forgive us [verse 2] Shadows crawl where the light won’t reach, Monsters rise, and the air won’t breathe. Comrades fall, their names are gone, But the regiment stands, though nothing remains. [chorus] Hold the line though the sky is falling! Hold the line hear the darkness calling! This is the oath, our blood written duty, To stand for mankind when mankind bleeds! [bridge] This is no retreat. No surrender. The galaxy may forget our names But the Emperor will not. [chorus] Hold the line though the night consumes, Hold the line in the shadow’s womb! We are the Guard, and we’ll never run, This is our vow till the last round’s done! [Last Transmission] This is Private Joran… last man standing. Everyone’s gone. The doors won’t hold. If anyone hears this tell my mates tell em I love em. For the Emperor I’ll keep firing til they take me. Cadia still stands
