Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Pity the ignorant fool
Who rejects our ideals and righteous way
Denying liberation
Forcing our hand in this benevolent war
Merciless they stand to oppose
Suffer not this barbarian tide
He who treads such a hollow life
A false path ensuring only demise
Verse 2:
Though we stand on the precipice our resolve is limitless
You can sever the head but the body regrows
For every new believer will be worth our throes
Pre-chorus 1:
Into the unknown we carry the torch
Shining the light of reason
Our ethereal cause
Chorus:
We seek the distance, hold it high
Hand upon hand the dream resides
Something greater, something right
On these foundations it’s in sight
Gather all in harmony for the goal of unity
Raise the banner for this is our manifest destiny
Verse 3:
Death to all in our way
There's no mercy for those who stray
Reduced to rubble for their crimes
As they break against the anvil
Our future is in sight
Dismantle down all those who appose
For merciless ideals must be overthrown
One and all we'll tear them down
Their false crowns silent as they hit the ground
Pre-chorus 2:
Across the threshold
At this confluence
Strike hard & strike fast
Overwhelm and take control

![Why Tau Are My Favorite: Grimdark is Exhausting [cc]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yUif6Tdujc8/mqdefault.jpg)
I don’t think anybody was expecting a T’au song but here is “Manifest Destiny”, my first xenos song . I remember the Tau being released back in 2001 and followed their codexes, models, books etc throughout the years. Despite two decades of lore they aren’t nearly as fleshed out as a Space Marine legion which made the lyrics quite difficult to write. I’m really happy with this one, all the instruments came together really well and the stark contrast between the aggressive verses and upbeat clean vocal chorus portrays the Tau’s ideology rather well. Some of my favourite riffs and lyrics are in this song. Style wise it’s melodic death metal heavily influenced by Soilwork, Scar Symmetry and Pantera. Enjoy!!!!!
2 Mass Effect Song Request: Cure(Cureing of the Genophage)
A song about the Geth-Quarrian War going all the way back to The Morning War Switching between POV's of the Geth and Legion, Quarrians, and Tali(This is going off a Paragon Shepard)
@@acttaslam9364 Mass Effect 2 is one of my favourite games. I've never thought about doing inspired songs about it. Maybe in the future!
You did it again! And it sound just like Soilwork.
Orks would be awesome
Lorcan's greatest achievement is making the T'au look threatening
Ha brilliant!
They all say that until they have 20 railcannons pointed at them, then the tune changes.
Helldivers:we got something in common with these blue aliens
Tau Pathfinders are basically Helldivers with plasma weapons.
@iansahleen1173 the tau way of the "greater good" is alot like helldiver democracy in some way philosophically
There isn’t enough Tau inspired or based music in the fandom so from a Tau player you have my thanks for making this kick ass banger
Thanks! Glad it hits home. I'm not to familiar with other Warhammer projects but It's no surprise there isn't much Tau, this one was quite difficult to get right.
Now that xeno’s are on the table, I want to say I’m excited for Necrons (my army) but DAMN am I excited for Nid’s! Assuming it’s being made anyway
I might have a Nids song coming soon. Have a look in the underhive....
Necron song in the works too
My favourite faction getting a Lorcan Ward song? Time to listen to this on repeat for the next 3 weeks.
Nice!! I was wondering where the Tau fans were 💪
Riffmaster Ward's Maximus Metallicus Crusade continues with another banger!!🤘🎸
Cheers! 🤘
So glad to see someone who actually takes the Tau seriously instead of just spamming the same 3 dead memes nonstop! You’ve done the greater good proud soldier!
Thanks!
my second favorite faction in warhammer and today of all days. I just got off of helldivers 2 where I'm cosplaying a Tau pathfinder only to hop off and see this song uploaded. And to boot majorkill uploaded a tau video not that he's the best source but it seems Tau was on the agenda today lmao!
Perfect timing for my song so!
Always a good morning waking up to a new Locan Ward upload
Thanks for listening 💪🏻
If Soilwork wrote a 40k song, you’re name is recognized by the Emperor I’m sure of it
This was originally called "Soilworkers song of the fan". I even asked Bjorn to sing on it but he was a little out of my budget. That reminds me I must send it to him.
The opening solo actually feels really fitting for the Tau, since it is rising, swelling, and hopeful and then after the first lyric string those qualities just become stronger in it, especially with the "Softer" lyrical choices. You really did a service for the greater good here, it goes hard but doesn't betray the ideals of the tau
Thanks! Glad you noticed all the detail, I put a lot of work into this one.
This song makes me crave a thunder warriors song!
Thanks! Thunder Warriors is an idea, maybe someday.
@@LorcanWard whatever you do, I’m sure it’ll be great. All you songs have been great so far!
If lorcan was an artist in 40k universe...his songs would make biggest inner conflict in inquisition ordos from the time when angel of destruction awoken once. Anyway this one is fire...you somehow beat my Tau bias for theese 4 minutes..but only for this once!
Ha thanks!!!
Man i came here casually, dddaaamn well done, the chorus is damm good
Good job on the Tau. I hope you will make a song on the Necrons one day and I can’t wait to see what you cook.
Thanks! Necron song is in the works.
I just came home with my kroot army box and this was a wery good surprise. I would even say greater good surprise.
Perfect timing!
Not expected, but very much appreciated. 😊
Thanks!
For the greater good! For unity!
What a banger 🤘🤘🤘
Cheers!! 🤘
love that double-bass, ooooww my guh
Vior’la thanks you for your service to the Tau’Va!
For the Greater good !!! 🤘🏼👽🤘🏼 I’m so excited for you to do one of da orks . “ da Bad Moons iz best “
I might have a Bad Moons song in the works : )
@@LorcanWard 🤩🤩🤩🤩 that’s me nerding out . can’t wait to hear it
This Song Is For The Greater Good 👍
I would love to see your take on Farsight.
That’s an idea for a future song
Love it! Can't wait to see what you do for the Necron!
Thanks! Necron song hopefully coming sometime this year.
You manifested an absolute banger!
Cheers!
i never expected someone to create song about xenos, let alone Tau one
They weren’t the easiest to write about but I wanted to work on a non human faction
I'M FUCKING LOVING THIS SONG!!
I find it so funny how I think that this is probably the most American song which you guys have made. Either way this is a great song.
Nobody expected T'au just like Spanish Inquisition ;)
Damn, another banger...
I hope for Salamaners song but to be honest - anything you do, will be AWESOME.
Thanks! Salamander's song is ready, just needs to be recorded. it will be very different!
@@LorcanWard Lovely, can't wait :)
sweet.
I defo did not expect this
The Imperium on finding multiple worlds under control of the prehistoric fish people after the Scouring.
This is a good song. Not a tau fan so it's an achievement to make me get behind them in metal core.
Thanks! I had a feeling people might not like this song cause it's about Tau so good to hear people enjoying it.
Absolute banger! 💯
Thanks!
Definitely wasn’t expecting this but fucking love it anyways!
Thanks!
Wow, T'au looks cool now
Glad to be of service
Now we need is Orks!!!!!
I haven't forgotten about Da Boyz. I've lots of orks songs in the works
@@LorcanWardWAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH
Tau are not what come to mind when thinking metal
Wonderful way to start my morning
I love the smell of railguns in the morning
You're also becoming very bad for my wallet, I now want a Tau army.
Just in time for the new models
last thing I expected was a song about the tau
I knew this one would come out of nowhere with all the Legion songs.
The funny part is is that it goes really hard and makes the tau seem threatening while still staying in their aspect of wanting peace
Well, since the xenos are fair game now, make the Eldar great
I’ve got a few ideas for Eldar songs. There’s a lot to work with between the two main factions and many styles would fit
@@LorcanWard well, I sure wasn't expecting to get a reply in my comment from the man himself - with that said, I am looking forward to what you have in mind for the Eldar, since I can't go a day without blasting your songs on repeat a few times (Unbreakable and I Cannot Say are absolute bangers)!
@@patrickbello3699 Cheers man! Appreciate it. My Eldar songs are quite different to what I've already done.
Funny thing if you change the cinematics and arts this sound could easily be about the 30k imperium before the heresy
The thought had crossed my mind. It's the hopefulness of the future. Fxxk Erebus!
I like the Tau, now.
feels a lot like the gundam and stargate series - in all the good ways
Another great one.
I wonder, if there will be ork song, if it will be REALLY orkish...
I iz got a few songz bout da Boyz in the wurks
This song is alchemy that manages to make the Tau sound awesome. Which is great.
As much as I love the Tau hate memes I think the whole thing has become a bit overblown
As a tau fan and collector from near first sight, i will say that the memes can get a little tiresome especially when it becomes hard to tell if it’s even a joke or not.
That being said, the greater good stands tall and im happy with my blue boys regardless.
Thanks!! Yeah the memes are a bit OTT nowadays. In such a growing community with a love of humour a lot of ideas have run wild.
I expected to see the Necrons and the Tyranids get metal songs before the Tau.
Still. I am pleasantly surprised(Personal note, but I recomend that the Kroot might need their own metal song separate from the Tau Empire itself).
If we are getting tau songs, does that mean we might get a commander farsight and the farsight enclave song in the future?
Lyrically this was my hardest song to write but now that I’ve got a grasp on the Tau there might be more in the future!
@@LorcanWard it was really good and I look forward to future songs
Honestly, wouldnt have thought of Making the fire cast the aggressive "Corrupted version of the greater good. 4th sheere expension i guess" and the Ethereals (thank f u Phill kelly) as the hopefull belivers of the greater good cause if i remember right its ussualy the other way around. This is what i love about your songs the thing i expect isnt how the song goes but it fitts together perfectly. One question though why didnt you push the chorus even more into syphonic/ choir esque Singing. i think it would make the diffrence between Idea and Reality of the gg even clearer hammer it down harder?. Great work as allways.
Thanks! Glad you like it. The clean style chorus vocals are inspired by Soilwork and other melodeath/metalcore bands. I do have a song in the works with those kind of elements though.
Do you have any merch that we can buy?
I don’t right now but it is something I’m considering. I’d like to make a physical album when I’ve enough songs so maybe T-shirts first. For now people can support me by buying my songs through Apple Music/iTunes and Bandcamp or leaving Super Thanks here on UA-cam
Yes, at least if gw hates xenos, your here to do so much better.
ha yeah they really do hate them more in recent years
can u make loyal Emperors Children song?
I have a traitor legion song in the works for them but I did toy with the idea of a loyal EC song. Fulgrim is one, if not my favourite HH book. It’s theme of perfection set to a Neo-classical symphonic metal song could really capture their legion. I’ll need to work on it.
No one like these blue Plagues but the Song is great. ave dominus nox
Thanks!
Stop no don't make the T'au look cool please-
Dammit, too late. Ordered multiple battlesuit kits now.
Imperial Fleet on route to your location
God I hate the Tau but by Nagash I love those song, amazing work as always
Thanks!
Can't tell if that's a woman singing or not
That's Jacob. Same singer as Scythe of the Reaper, The First Blade and Sojourn.
@@LorcanWard he's got some range then.
Israel just looking for a 'Samson Option' opportunity
Us military propaganda be like:
Filthy Xenos propaganda.
Haha my favourite comment today
I don't think the T'au would listen to metal. I see them liking bland middle of the road pop.
I'm not a pop artist so best I can do is Swedish inspired melodeath
The T’au hearing range is actually slightly tilted compared to ours (we ear things they can’t and they ear things we can’t). So their music sounds really bad to human ears.
I remember that information coming from either Inquisitor Amberley Vail in Ciaphas Cain the Greater Good or Inquisitor Vykola Herat in the first Farsight book. Can’t remember which one it is.
it was good until the vocals...
The greater good has arrived
With plenty of firepower
