Cadia Stands! (A Warhammer 40k Epic Orchestral Anthem)

The ground may break and the sky may fall, but the will of the Guard is never broken. This is an anthem for the fallen bastion world of Cadia, and for the unyielding spirit of its soldiers.

This is a grand, heroic, and tragic military march dedicated to the 13th Black Crusade and the fall of Cadia. A full symphony orchestra, complete with a powerful brass section, thundering timpani, and a large, dramatic choir, comes together to tell the story of the planet's final, defiant moments. This is the sound of the Imperial Guard making its last stand, a testament to the belief that even in total destruction, victory is a matter of will. The Planet Broke Before the Guard Did.

LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
A bastion world at Terror's awful maw
For ten millennia, we held the law
We stood the watch 'til kingdom come
The sky was star-lit, cold and deeply black
Knowing the tide would always thunder back
But every soul in Kasr Kraf keep
Had promises our dying world would keep

[Chorus]
(Full Choir and Orchestra)
The ground may break, the sky may fall to ash!
The Fortress crack beneath the final crash!
Let planets burn and stars be torn asunder!
Above the roar of ruin's endless thunder!
Our world is gone, a memory of stone!
But on this line, we do not stand alone!
The Planet Broke Before the Guard Did!
CADIA STANDS! CADIA STANDS!

(Verse 2)
We saw the Blackstone comet fall, a burning stone
A wound upon the world we called our own
The sky ripped wide, a scar of hateful red
We held the line among the honored dead
Our lasguns flashed against Abaddon's host
We gave our lives but never gave the ghost
From trench to trench, with blood and sweat and steel
We made our final, desperate stand

[Bridge]
(Tempo slows, music becomes more somber and mournful)
Now scattered dust on solar winds we ride
The sons and daughters, never to hide
In our hearts, Kasr Kraf remains
And Cadian blood runs hot within our veins
Our home is not a place of rock and dust
It is a sacred, everlasting trust

[Chorus]
(Tempo returns, music swells to an epic, defiant climax)
The ground may break, the sky may fall to ash!
The Fortress crack beneath the final crash!
Let planets burn and stars be torn asunder!
Above the roar of ruin's endless thunder!
Our world is gone, a memory of stone!
But on this line, we do not stand alone!
The Planet Broke Before the Guard Did!
CADIA STANDS! CADIA STANDS!

[Outro]
(Choir chants, building in intensity over a final orchestral swell)
CADIA STANDS!
CADIA STANDS!
(A final, powerful orchestral hit and cymbal crash)
