[Verse]
My calculations met every required demand
Siege by siege, I upheld the chain of command
My record stood without embellishment
The walls I built remain permanent

[Pre-Chorus]
One expedition defied all tactical design
Warp distortion corrupted every line
Men were crippled, their bodies declined
I emerged alive but broken that time.

[Chorus]
I am the son who betrayed his father's word
I am the brother who spilled his brothers' blood
Lord Emperor, bless us where darkness is legion
Make me an instrument, your loyal iron.

[Verse]
Disgraced, I accepted my next deployment
Logged my transfer with full commitment
Among alien ruins, I studied in peace
Systems dormant, noise had ceased

[Pre-Chorus]
The Pharos constructs remained inert
Initial response required applied effort
It was not a weapon, but refined guidance
Beacon activated for warpfield compliance

[Chorus]
I am the son who betrayed his father's word!
I am the brother who spilled his brothers' blood
Lord Emperor, bless us where darkness is legion
Make me an instrument, your loyal iron

[Bridge]
My Primark turned from the Imperial throne
The Legion embraced a path I disowned
Traitorous actions invalidated legitimacy
I was there, I denied the heresy
Alignment confirmed with Guilliman’s fleet.
Warp breaches lessened, transmission complete.
The signal endured under my full control.
A Warsmith should always fulfill his role.

[Chorus] x2
I am the son who betrayed his father's word
I am the brother who spilled his brothers' blood
Lord Emperor, bless us where darkness is legion
Make me an instrument, your loyal iron

[Outro]
My friend, this war is the beginning of the end
I have done my duty and I am no longer ashamed
All hail the Emperor of Mankind, still beloved by all
May His dream be saved, even if we cannot
