Lyrics:
They call him savior, forged in flame,
A soldier cloaked in deathless fame.
A bolt in hand, a grin half-earned,
In every fight, the tide is turned.

He walks through war like it’s a stage,
A ghost of dread, a myth of rage.
But behind the medals, steel, and glare,
Is luck and fear in strange affair.

He’s the hero none can trace,
Running death at coward’s pace.
Still the enemies fall, still the legends grow—
The man who lived when all said “no.”
Saint or shadow, curse or flame—
He never asked to earn that name.

The troops believe, the crowds adore,
He’s dragged through every cursed war.
Beside him walks that silent shade,
A psychic blank, a stinking aide.

He fires fast, he laughs aloud,
While chaos breaks and tyrants bow.
But every charge and gallant leap
Is planned to hide a need to keep—

He’s the hero none can trace,
Running death at coward’s pace.
Still the enemies fall, still the legends grow—
The man who lived when all said “no.”
Saint or shadow, curse or flame—
He never asked to earn that name.

They write of valor, strength, and truth,
But never show the sweating youth
Who dodged, who ducked, who thought to flee—
Yet found himself in victory.

Hero of the Guard…
Defender of the Imperium…
Reluctant to the last!

He’s the hero none can trace,
Running death at coward’s pace.
Still the enemies fall, still the legends grow—
The man who lived when all said “no.”
He walks away while others lie—
A living myth, but never why.

Cain! The Hero of the Imperium!

He’s the hero none can trace,
Running death at coward’s pace.
Still the enemies fall, still the legends grow—
The man who lived when all said “no.”
He walks away while others lie—
A living myth, but never why.

Cain! The Hero of the Imperium!

He’s the hero none can trace,
Running death at coward’s pace.
Still the enemies fall, still the legends grow—
The man who lived when all said “no.”
He walks away while others lie—
A living myth, but never why.
