Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Unsheathe, Trust into the void
To walk in the shadows of better men
Firstborn, The final chapter
Holding the means to see hereafter
Not for power, Nor veneration
These benighted worlds
Condign only annihilation
Chorus:
The path of exaltation
To truths you wish you'd never known
Forever unforgiven
We hunt for those who fell
In the name of absolution
These fallen m ust be slain
For only though salvation
Can we redeem our shame
Verse 2:
When honour is torn down
And valour holds no place
With the power of suns
In the palm of our hands
Only vigilance prevails
Each contrition, Etched in blood
Clandestine our cloak
Tethered to our transgressions
Interlude:
In the face of ruination
Our sins we must confine
As fire serves to clear the soil
Only faith will seed these basis

The Dark Angels were the most requested legion so here is “The First Blade”, a melodic death metal song from the POV of a loyalist or maybe it’s one of the fallen? 🤔
Verse 1:
Unsheathe
Trust into the void
To walk in the shadows
Of better men
Firstborn
The final chapter
Holding the means
To see hereafter
Not for power
Nor veneration
These benighted worlds
Condign only annihilation
Chorus:
The path of exaltation
To truths you wish you'd never known
Forever unforgiven
We hunt for those who fell
In the name of absolution
These fallen m ust be slain
For only though salvation
Can we redeem our shame
Verse 2:
When honour is torn down
And valour holds no place
With the power of suns
In the palm of our hands
Only vigilance prevails
Each contrition
Etched in blood
Clandestine our cloak
Tethered to our transgressions
“Repeat Chorus" 2nd Time
Interlude:
In the face of ruination
Our sins we must confine
As fire serves
To clear the soil
Only faith will
Seed these basis

Thanks for watching! 🤘
For the Lion! For Caliban! For the Emperor!
For a bunch of filthy traitors.
Oh man that electronic riff is just magical. This song really embodies the rage of lost caliban and her sons
Thanks!
@@LorcanWard grey knight song?
I greatly look forward to how you'll tackle the ugly duckling of 30k: the Vth Legion, the White Scars, the Ordu of Jaghatai.
Once one of the most obscure legions with only a passing mention about their participation in the Siege of Terra, through the hands of Chris Wraight, they became one of the most beloved Legions in the fandom.
Chris did a phenomenal job on the White Scars. I'm nearly finished their song. I think it reflects their legion quite well.
Brother, get the flamer...
The HEAVY.. flamer.....
Hense forth we are no longer Fallen... WE ARE RISEN!!
RAHHHH, WERE HUNTING FALLEN TONIGHT!!
Gives me old school bullet for my Valentine, ABR and in flames vibes
Nice!! I find my writing style is in a middle point of metalcore and melodeath. I couldn’t get enough of those bands when I was younger
@@LorcanWard please keep it up in this direction. Love it. Sent you an IG msg
Weeelll I think this Song Is more like Children Of Bodom. And it's awesome,specially the Guitar solo in the end. And again, great job by the vocalist,He's so impressive!
"we are completely loyal! We are absolutely not traitors... No sir!" - some Dark Angel probably.
This is now an old meme since lions return. Everyone were loyal.
@@MALITH666 tell that to Luther... I don't think he got the message.
The Alpha Legionary standing next to him, saying the exact opposite:
@@LordCrate-du8zm I am not Alpharius... This is a lie.
Low effort comment is lazy
We are the Knights of Caliban and our enemies shall fall.
The Lion is the last living Beast of Caliban. And by god emperor I can’t help but grin when I think of The Lion breaking Curzes spine over his knee
This song is just perfect..... ASMODAI!
Thanks!
INTERROGATE!
Amazing stuff guys! You keep blowing it out of the water with these songs. I find it fitting to use deathwing trailers for this honestly, the song fits in the best way possible with the point in time that game came out, very angry and unforgiving, pun intended. Also that guitar in the instrumental at the end reminded me of Rhapsody, always a big plus!
Thanks! I was wondering if the video was a bit to energetic while editing but I like how it came together, it was nice to have footage I could use again for one of my songs and there was so much from Deathwing . Luca Turilli has always been a big influence on me, glad you noticed.
GODDAMN THIS IS A BANGER, ROCKING TO THIS
well fitting to the first Legion
Banger after banger lets gooo
Long time follower. I'm glad you started doing your own stuff bro
Cheers man! It took a long time but glad to finally have my own project
I am so happy I found you guys
Thanks for listening!
Wow!!! ❤ So awesome!! Strong Children of Bodom vibes. Love it 🙌
Banger after banger. Every song. Thank you for bringing us such masterpieces and loads and loads of happyness.
And thank you for listening!
I would love to see what kind of song you would write for the Watchers in the Dark. Lovable little gremlins
That's an idea after I finish the 18 Legions
I was just thinking about what a Dark Angels song would sound like from you.
I got a lot of requests for this one.
FOR THE LION!!!!!!!
It's fire! I love the synth and the solo is epic.
Thanks!
My legion 🤘🏻
i guessed it. i saw the song on spotify and i guessed dark angels. and i was correct
Nice! I try to come up with song titles that are a nod to the legion but not a complete give away
I think it'd be funny for the Fallen's song to be called "Last Dagger" as a parallel to the Dark Angels' them title. Probably wouldn't fit though.
ha that would be an idea.
Truly the first.
damn, DAT SOLO! DAT DRUMS!
Another fire song! Makes me want to play some Deathwing!
Unrelated, but;
I would love to hear your take on the Months of Shame!
AMEN! Hermano
They should be calling Lorcan The Lion, because he's the king (of the jungle) (of metal)
Instant like to appease UA-cams great machine spirit.
Prayers to the omnissiah, hail the god machine
GOD-EMPEROR has blessed us with another masterpiece of a song.
For the Lion
Make them *REPENT!*
Bro, I'm completly running out of words with each new song on how much I enjoy your work and how good it is. Keep up the good work.
And pre Lion returns Dark Angels song? Fucking great. And if/when you do the Salamanders, might I suggest when the event of how/when Vulkan meets his sons?
Thanks! I have some ideas for Salamander songs, I hadn’t thought of that one
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Awesome. Like all songs so far. You guys just nail it.
So... Salamanders when? :>
I can’t say when but I do have a song written, just need to find the right way to approach it. Don’t want to spoil anything since it’s quite different to what I’ve done so far.
@@LorcanWard Thank you so much. Can't wait.
After you've covered all 18 legions, do you plan on also singing about some of the sucessor chapters? I'd love to hear a song about the Carcharadons some day
I do. Warhammer has limitless inspiration I can draw from and even once I've finished the 18 legions I can still go back and do the occasional song for something I didn't cover. Like a Perturabo or Sigismund POV song.
Hope we can get a blood angel's song next.
The chapters of the Blood have all been called
Synths are great
Does this mean that were finally getting the black metal night lords song we deserve after this.
A black metal Night Lords's song you say? That sounds like a great idea.
@@LorcanWard Its time to finally start fighting like night lords and not like space marines.
I’ll admit there is a dark angel crusader in me.
Time to take to the stars ⚔️
REPENT! For tomorrow you die! FOR THE LION!
The Lion El’Johnson
The First
The Apex, The Last Beast of Caliban
The Primarch of The Dark Angels
And Wrecker of Konrads shit
Vulkan hitting Konrad like a baseball
What must i do for a blood angels death company banger? Also this kicks ass
Patience is all you need to do :) The chapters of the blood are being called home for this one.
@@LorcanWard awesome. I GREATLY hope the blood angels song is a long the lines of this dynamic metalcore. Much bigger fan of this style for you. I'm the Cory guy that messaged on IG by the way.
NICE, I wonder if it's Thousand Sons or Word Bearers next
No but soon
Could you do the Raven Guard next?
A Raven Guard song, that would have to be some combination of metalcore and melodic death metal 🤔
I'm still waiting for my blueberries song
Blueberries song had to have some parts redone, coming sometime in the future.
I mean.... We can tell you're Bodom fans lol. Not a bad thing at all, just saying. Enjoyable stuff for sure.
Well they are my favourite band. Alexi's influence just flows in my writing style. after Reaper and this I might take a break from writing specifically in their style.
Banger🔥🪨
Day 8 of asking for custodies song
Dark angels. First of the traitor legions.
Repent! For tomorrow you die!
The young voice does not suit the mood of the mysterious Dark Angels at all.
Let’s hunt some fallen
Another traitor song? Weeeeiird.
