Siege of Terra | Warhammer 40K

Thirteen days of fire on mankind’s cradle…
The sky split open, traitor guns carved light across the night.
The Palace stood Aegis screaming, void shields breaking
And still, we held.

From orbit fell the wrath of once loyal sons,
Horus calling storms upon the Throne.
The Sanctum shook, the mountains cried,
Yet the Emperor’s will held stone on stone.

Across the void, the fleets collided
Traitor iron against the Palace guns.
Continents drowned in firelight,
And Terra knew the End had come.

Bastion Sixteen torn asunder,
The Aegis faltered hope grew thin.
Dark wings descended through the breach,
And death came pouring in.

We stand on walls that should have fallen
The Aegis burns yet still holds true.
Through blood and ash, through daemon howling,
Terra stands because we do.
The sky rains fire, the traitors thunder,
But our hearts refuse to break in two.
For the Emperor, for humanity,
We hold the line… we see this through.

Mortarion’s plague ships landed screaming,
Death itself walked Terra’s ground.
Gas and rot drowned trench and tower,
Dark Mechanicum engines tore the world around.

Through choking fog rode Khan the hunter,
Jetbikes flashing like lightning knives.
He carved a path through Death Guard ranks,
Till poison sought to claim his life.

But Sanguinius angel burning
Led golden warriors through the breach.
Blood Angels roared, Titans answered,
Buying seconds none could reach.

Blood‑rain fell, the ritual waking,
Warp‑gates tore the crimson skies.
Eight warp‑bane cannons cracked the Aegis,
And Terra heard daemons rise.

We stand on walls that should have fallen
The Aegis burns, yet still holds true.
Through blood and ash, through daemon howling,
Terra stands because we do.
The sky rains fire, the traitors thunder,
But our hearts refuse to break in two.
For the Emperor, for humanity,
We hold the line… we see this through.

Lion’s Gate shattered… Titans fell…
Eternity Wall drowned in crimson hell.
Sigismund bleeding, Rann struck down,
Dorn unmoving as the walls closed round.

Forrix buried, Khârn raging,
Abaddon clawed from the grave he made.
Fulgrim’s children, twisted laughing,
Turned Terra’s streets to a nightmare parade.

Yet still the loyal hearts beat on,
Against a million beasts and guns.
For every fortress lost to darkness,
Another hero rose
And won.

We stand on walls that should have fallen
The Aegis burns, yet still holds true.
Through blood and ash, through daemon howling,
Terra stands because we do.
The sky rains fire, the traitors thunder,
But our hearts refuse to break in two.
For the Emperor, for humanity,
We hold the line… we see this through.
Till the Warmaster falls, till the stars fall silent
Terra stands… because of you.

Hold fast, sons and daughters of the Throne…
The night is longest before the dawn.
The Emperor waits within His chamber
And still, the war goes on.
