We techpriests of Mechanicum are
Bearing gifts from forges of Mars
Tanks and Titans, made to fight in
The Emperor's glorious wars.

O-oh
Omnissiah's holy light
Conq'ring darkness of Old Night
Gears are turning, traitors burning
Guide us by thy psychic might!

Leman Russ, a million I've made
Shadowsword and mighty Baneblade
Struggling ever, Eye of Terror
Broken on Cadia's Gate

O-oh
Omnissiah's holy light
Conq'ring darkness of Old Night
Gears are turning, heretics burning
Guide us by thy psychic might!

Sacred Titans I will supply
God Machines to turn the tide
Man prevailing, xenos wailing
But no one will answer their cry

O-oh
Omnissiah's holy light
Conq'ring darkness of Old Night
Gears are turning, aliens burning
Guide us by thy psychic might!

Armor I forge for the Astartes
Invincible scourge of His enemies
Chainswords and bolters, pauldrons for shoulders
I give them all of these

O-oh
Omnissiah's holy light
Conq'ring darkness of Old Night
Gears are turning, mutants burning
Guide us by thy psychic might!

Mars and Terra together strong
In darkest era we will march on
Basilisks roaring, Thunderhawks soaring
The sounds of His glorious song

O-oh
Omnissiah's holy light
Conq'ring darkness of Old Night
Gears are turning, traitors burning
Guide us by thy psychic might!

Violent night
Deadly night
Prometheum
Is burning bright

Burn the heretics evil and vile
Cleanse the mutants and all who defile
Purge this world of their taint
Purge this world of their taint

Violent night
Deadly night
Space marines
Shall win this fight

Mighty angels of the Emperor born (pronounced 'emprah' to fit the rhythm)
Saving worlds in a righteous storm
Glory to the astartes (On some worlds this line is replaced by 'they are bald and screaming')
Glory to the astartes

(it gets sillier from here on out. Those were the accepted 'good citizen of the imperium' verses)

Violent night
Deadly night
The Emperor
Is always right

If you're ever unsure where to turn
If you're confused about who to burn
Ask - what would the corpse-god do?
What would the corpse-god do?

Violent night
Deadly night
In hand to hand
Orks delight

Hack and slash, then burn and smash,
Race to kill first - the nob's deadly dash
Fungal aliens with guns
Fungal aliens with guns

Violent night
Deadly night
Fear the kroot's
Hungry bite

Giant chickens who don't find it rude
To turn their enemies into food
You're for dinner tonight
You're for dinner tonight


Feel free to add verses.

Good work, Orkestra. I am inspired by your seditious lyrics.

Kharne the Betrayer
Was a bloody-minded soul
With a huge chainaxe
And a plasma gun
And two eyes like burning coals

Kharne the Betrayer
Was a Space Marine they say
But when Horus fell
He said what the hell?
I'll just murder folks all day

They knew he had Khorne's favor
When on Terra his body was found
They thought that he was surely dead
But he began to dance around

Kharne the Betrayer
Was alive as he could be
His one goal is still
To maim, burn, and kill
Anyone that he can see

Blood for the Blood God
Blood for the Blood God
Look at Kharn go
Blood for the Blood God
Blood for the Blood God
And skulls for the Skull Throne

Said the night wind to Horus Proud
"Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
A throne, A throne, waiting for the day
That you use your might to betray,
That you use your might to betray."

Said the Horus proud to his space marines,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
The gods, the gods, Mighty in the warp
Let us raise them o'er the stars
Let us raise them o'er the stars."

Said the space marines to the galaxy,
"Do you know what I know?
Do you know what I know?
your worlds, your worlds, glist'ning as they turn,
well it's time that they were all burned!
Well it's time that they were all burned'

Said the Galaxy to the God-Emperor
"Listen to what I say!
Listen to what I say!
You're dead, tough gak, we'll stick you on this throne
And your corpse will keep us alive
And your corpse will keep us alive. "
(Ah, the joys of writers block at the last second. If anyone wants to take a crack at the last verse, be my guest.)

Thanks for this thread, Manchu. I've missed all the cool stuff you do on here while I was away.

Bolt'ead's new red paint job trukk
had a very bright red coat. (we used GW paint!)
An' when 'e went an' drove it,
he would bellow out an' gloat. (with rude hand gestures!)

All of the other trukk boyz
all curse an' call him bastard. (like they have fathers?)
They never could out race him
for his trukk just went fasta'. (about one inch a turn!)

Then one smoggy battle day
Ghazzie came to say: (slow and purposefully!)
"Bolt'ead with your trukk so red,
lead the Waaagh or you'll be dead!"

Then all the trukk boyz loved him
as he charged the Space Marines, (we call dem beakies!)

I'm strongly considering recording some a capella versions of these classic Warhammer tunes. As I try to get my bottom into gear, does anyone have any suggestions for ways to share them with Dakka that don't include Youtube? (that, or a PM'd tutorial on how to youtube for this almost luddite)

But lances aren't still cheap.

Never to skimp

Down on their knees

He is the mon (<-- it's 'man' with a Jamacian accent - it's all I could come up with)

Bad ass as hell
Dissies all fire
Marines expire
Screams everywhere
Filling the air

Fills you with fear
When he is near
He is supreme
At being mean
His ride is sweet
With babes replete
None overcome
He is the one
He is quite snide
From his pimp ride
