I see my blood, and know what I must do
And hear his voice with hatred burning through
Was I a terrible father?
Did I allow this slaughter?
I know I mustn't falter
I cannot let this stand
I will not let him take my throne
The seeds of his death have been sown
And with mercy for my own
I hope you will understand
One thousand worlds lay conquered at my feet
Brought to their knees by my unrelenting fleet
And when we should have persevered
My soldiers had embraced their fears
The unknown space kept that them here
Ventured not beyond his light
My dream now lifeless, cold and dead
Had we gone forth, they would have fled
I dreamt of a war beyond the stars
Now I weep into the night
I stand the lord of a broken empire
This was not what my father had desired
My time to rest is over
From all the darkest corners
The weight upon my shoulders
I shall not let it fall
I have re-dawned my armor
To some, I am a martyr
I live to serve my father
Until I fall once more
And since our great empire's birth
Great men have come and gone
Their blood runs proudly through our veins
Their courage still remains
We will suffer any pain
And proudly embrace certain death
We'll serve this great Imperium
While our bodies still draw breath
