WH 40k. In the Name of the Law

[Intro — distant sirens, funeral bells, deep dark drones, radio static] [VOX — cold mechanical spoken voice] Planet: under Imperial jurisdiction. Subject: planetary governor. Charge: treason against Terra. Order: apprehend. Resistance: suppress. [Deep ominous organ swell, metallic impact] [Verse 1 — deep male baritone, creeping organ, dark bass pulse] Above the hive, black smog; below, eternal fear, Sirens cut the darkness through the industrial tiers. From the precinct-fortress comes a line of black and steel, The thunder of their iron steps makes every district kneel. Shotguns loaded, on their shields the Imperial eagle shines, A cyber-mastiff tracks its prey through smoke and ruined lines. Behind an armoured door, the criminal underworld shakes in fear, No gold, no rank, no uniform can save you when they're here. [Pre-Chorus — rising tension, echoing commands] [COMMANDER — deep commanding voice] Secure the perimeter! Block every passage! [SQUAD — low male unison] No one shall escape! No one gets away! [COMMANDER — cold] In the name of Terra! [SQUAD — threatening shout] CARRY OUT THE SENTENCE! [Chorus — ominous male choir, massive pipe organ, deep sub-bass] IN THE NAME OF THE LAW — STAND DOWN! IN THE NAME OF TERRA — HOLD YOUR GROUND! SHIELDS LOCKED TIGHT! GUNFIRE LIKE THUNDER! LEX IMPERIALIS COMES THROUGH YOUR DOOR! ARBITES! UNYIELDING LINE! ARBITES! IMPERIAL JUDGMENT! NO THRONE, NO TITLE CAN CONCEAL YOUR CRIME! THE LAW OF THE IMPERIUM OUTLASTS ALL CROWNS! [Verse 2 — dark atmospheric bass, dissonant organ, distant metallic footsteps] High in the spires, a throne of gold shines bright, The governor believed his word alone defined what's right. He sold his orders, hid the evidence of treason, But Terra's sacred seal accepts no substitution. They smashed the chamber doors, the ceremonial lights went dead, Among the shattered statues, someone shouted: "No!" instead. He cried to his guards: "Defend me! Hold at any cost!" But Arbites crushed their ranks and marched through like a wall. [Pre-Chorus — sinister atmosphere, tense spoken dialogue] [COMMANDER — cold commanding voice] Lay down your weapons! On the ground! Do not fire! [GOVERNOR — enraged] I AM THE GOVERNOR! THIS WORLD IS MINE! WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO ARREST ME?! [COMMANDER — emotionless] Your world belongs to Terra. You stand accused. [Chorus — deeper male choir, threatening organ, dark bass] IN THE NAME OF THE LAW — STAND DOWN! IN THE NAME OF TERRA — HOLD YOUR GROUND! SHIELDS LOCKED TIGHT! GUNFIRE LIKE THUNDER! LEX IMPERIALIS COMES THROUGH YOUR DOOR! ARBITES! UNYIELDING LINE! ARBITES! IMPERIAL JUDGMENT! NO THRONE, NO TITLE CAN CONCEAL YOUR CRIME! THE LAW OF THE IMPERIUM OUTLASTS ALL CROWNS! [Bridge — near silence, low drones, distant funeral bell] [VOX — distorted ominous voice] The law knows no mercy. The law knows no sleep. As long as the Imperium endures, Its will shall be done. [COMMANDER — deep threatening whisper] You may hide across a hundred worlds. Buy soldiers. Murder witnesses. But one day you will hear Heavy footsteps outside your door. [Single metallic strike, brief silence] [SQUAD — whispered male unison] Arbites... [COMMANDER — terrifying shout] SEIZE HIM! [Final Chorus — massive ominous male choir, overwhelming gothic organ, sub-bass crescendo] IN THE NAME OF THE LAW — STAND DOWN! IN THE NAME OF TERRA — HOLD YOUR GROUND! SHIELDS LOCKED TIGHT! GUNFIRE LIKE THUNDER! LEX IMPERIALIS COMES THROUGH YOUR DOOR! ARBITES! THE IRON HAND! ARBITES! TERRA'S WILL FOREVER STANDS! LET THRONES FALL DOWN! LET WORLDS COLLAPSE! THE LAW SHALL NEVER YIELD WHILE IT STILL LASTS! [Outro — fading pipe organ, dark drones, radio static, distant bells] [VOX — cold emotionless voice] Subject apprehended. Resistance suppressed. Evidence delivered to the judge. [Low ominous pulse] Another signal. Another world. Another accusation. [COMMANDER — quiet threatening voice] Adeptus Arbites. Proceed with enforcement. [Heavy metallic door slam] [Hard Cut — absolute silence] [End]
