THE SONS OF THE LION

(Organ intro) (Verse I) From the forests of Caliban we rise Knightly vows beneath blackened skies First to stand, first to bleed Clad in green, forged by creed Silent watchers, hooded pride Truth in shadows, sins denied Broken brothers, hunted souls Redemption carved in bolter holes (Pre-Chorus) Chains of guilt, oaths unspoken Ancient sins, never broken By the blade and by the gun We repent what we have done (Chorus) We are the Sons of the Lion Born in secrecy and fire We are the sons of defiance Faith and wrath will never tire In the dark, we stand alone Unforgiven, yet unthrown Hear the roar of our devotion The Sons of the Lion!

(Outro (chant lent, massif) Pro Imperatore Pro Humanitate Fidelis usque ad mortem Ave Imperator…
