What Life Is REALLY Like in the Imperium - Warhammer 40K (Unofficial Fan Song)

Warhammer 40K Unofficial Fan Song and Fan-Art Tribute: Dead Certainty (Life in the Imperium) - by EBM Hate Please like and comment if you'd like to see more like this, it fuels my enthusiasm. AND LET ME KNOW WHAT TOPIC I SHOULD COVER NEXT! STREAMING LINKS   / ebm-hate   https://open.spotify.com/artist/1XRxa... https://link.deezer.com/s/31UOts6A3Mb... PREMISE: INSPIRED by the graffiti seen in the ASTARTES 2 trailer, and the growing storylines of civil discontent in the Imperium in official warhammer 40K lore. There's a lot here to unpack for anyone but the most casual of Warhammer 40K fans - and I don't want to spoil any of it - but one of the core smaller ideas that should be discussed: everyone playing Warhammer always imagines themselves to be a glorious Astartes, a towering Chaos demon, or a legendary eldar, or something like this... But there's a 99.9999% certainty your life would be like in the video. Is that a game you would still play? ;-) This project was HEAVILY inspired by the work of VNV Nation, from the lyrics to the music style through to the video itself. If you like this, you'll love VNV Nation - check them out! SERIOUSLY: All Warhammer 40,000 characters, settings, and imagery are copyright © Games Workshop.

As you feed on our toil, exploit our hard work And children whisper behind closed doors To never more suffer never-ending wars… The faith we once had, now flickers and dims Those things we thought sacred, now uncertain The sermons ring hollow, the arguments thin As our prayers echo unanswered in silence and pain… Not for glory. Not for praise. Not for the promise of better days… We pray for freedom, we are not slaves, The myth is dead no matter how much you pray… A single crack now splits to fracture, A system broke an empire’s rapture… When all is said and done, For all your sins you will atone… You will atone… In the shadows of a dying golden sun Tired superstitions no longer spoken by any-one Our ‘saviours’ arrive in force armed with guns Bringing fear and destruction, yet haven for none Cities once lined with golden walls Spray-painted with the truth of real words The Emperor’s light burns no more, No gods, no masters, no chains, no war… Not for glory. Not for praise. Not for the promise… The good were dreaming, thinking they were free… So they obeyed as they ignored their pleas Your fall from grace now we see the end Only just the start of your final descent… When all is said and done, For all your sins you will atone… You will atone… As the statues bleed and our homes burn, We throw oil on the fire, a dead imperium, We used to pray to the golden throne, The only reply: ‘Obey or suffer worse’… This may be just a game, At least play by your own rules You took all you wanted made you rich and cold Now that you rule, You are nothing but cruel, Punishing those who did the same as you… Not for glory. Not for praise. Not for the promise of better days… We pray for freedom, we are not slaves, The myth is dead no matter how much you pray… The good were dreaming thinking they were free, So they obeyed as they ignored their pleas… A single crack now splits to fracture, A system broke, An empire’s rapture… Your fall from grace, now we see the end, Only just the start of your final descent… When all is said and done, For all your sins you will atone… #warhammermusic #warhammer40k #warhammer #warhammer40kmusic #gamesworkshop #grimdark #grimdarkmusic #astartes #cinematic
