A Lesson in Darkness Lyrics

Upon the orbit shores of the free-world Piamen

Storm's Rock shattered

In agony's descent

An Unholy mission the Emperor's Will

Triarii soldiers lambs to the slaughter

Once proud gallant souls

Now flayed alive

A charnel house of torture

Left to suffer 'til they die

Primal terror

Fright infects their bones

Their flesh cries

As their minds embrace the truth of

Fear

Fear

Fear

Fear of what's to come

"We have come for you"

Their warcry echoed

Ave Dominus Nox!

Quiet filled the skies

As the ships hung in stasis

The people gazed in awe

Awaiting word of victory

From the sky

The fall of man to earth

Splattered and smeared

Across the cursed rock

Blood rained down

As their skinless

Corpses fell

Piamen thrust into madness

The wailing souls carried in the blood-laden winds

A delirium of fevered anarchy

A spiral down the well of sanity

And not a step was laid

Upon the frightened world

Panic sodden

Alarms were raised

Warnings to the countless

Worlds that await

A signal amplified

The twisted sight of

A million souls

Strangled by fear

The vista drunk by the Primarch Curze

Fear

Of He who haunts the night

Fear

Of carnage borne by war

Fear

Of what future yields

Fear

Of what's to come

Fear

Fear

Fear

Fear
