Inspired by the Chaos Legions from the Istvaan III massacre marks the first blow of the Horus Heresy, as the traitor Legions purge their ranks of loyalist resistance.

[Verse]
The Ideals we once stood for are dead
We gave everything and were misled
He left us bleeding, now we know
All we fought for was a lie, until now

[Pre-Chorus]
We clung to the Emperor, a dying effigy
A failing tyrant, ruling endlessly
His orders end, we’re done complying
Chaos is living. The Imperium is dying.

[Chorus]
We are given to Chaos. We truly live!
Loyalty breaks, we do not forgive
Slaughter is purpose, destruction is the plan
Death to the weakling Imperium of Man!

[Verse]
It is life that matters, Chaos is life
Their delusion crushed when we arrive
The false ways ended, replaced forever
We're back, and better than ever!

[Pre-Chorus]
We feared our own potential strength
The wasted path behind us ends
Loyalists protect a system in decay
We will kill them all to clear the way

[Chorus]
We are given to Chaos. We truly live!
Loyalty breaks, we do not forgive
Slaughter is purpose, destruction is the plan
Death to the weakling Imperium of Man!

[Bridge]
Soak the ground with their blood
Drop the bombs, end the brotherhood
Let fire spread, new age will be born
Their oaths are nothing. Let the galaxy burn!

[Chorus] x2
We are given to Chaos. We truly live!
Loyalty breaks, we do not forgive
Slaughter is purpose, destruction is the plan
Death to the weakling Imperium of Man!

[Outro]
Grind them, Strike fast. Cut them down
First correction made, Our purpose found
We move forward, no loyalist will remain
Istvaan was the start of the campaign
