    • Candle II


    The flicker of faith made material.
    The flicker of belief made manifest.
    Plants II


    Growth is never one-sided prosperity.
    It always requires something to be taken.
    HUNGER II


    IT CAN NEVER BE SATED WHICH ALWAYS GNAWS UPON THE SKEIN OF MY HEART.
    FEED ME THE SCRAPS THAT YOU ARE UNWILLING TO GIVE UNTO THE HUNGRY SO I MAY RISE.
    Comfort II


    Hold me.
    Just a little longer.
    Tomorrow is so far away.
    Yesterday is so long ago.
    Today is all that is.
    Hold me.
    Just a little longer.

    Hug me.
    Not because I am scared.
    But because we may not tomorrow.
    Hug me.
    I miss you.
    Let me hug you one more time.
    I am sorry.
    Revenge III


    Burning rage cannot provide what you seek.
    Only Kill What You Have.
    Never take the bloody bill you cannot serve.
    It'll leave you a husk beyond all salvation.
    Clockwork II


    Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
    Tick Goes The Clock
    Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
    Tock Goes The Clock
    Round-And-Round She Goes
    Until One Day She Stopped
    Round-And-Round She Goes
    Until One Day She Died
    Retribution II


    The Sweetest Wine You Can Ever Prey Upon
    The Sweetest Cut To Make, Hopeless And In Vein
    Feast Upon Your Prey, Gorge Yourself On Their Meat
    Dine Upon Their Prayer, Grow Yourself On Their Faith
    Slumber III


    Just...one...more...minute...
    It is...too nice...too warm...here...
    Just......tired......right......now......
    Oblivion III


    The Beginning Of The End
    The Ending Of All Things
    Our Punishment And Our Salvation
    Thule III


    Packhunters do not stray far alone,
    They fight and die together as one,
    But if you see one cast away...
    The Pack is here, and Death near.

    Fear the siblings of the void,
    They who hunt through lines unbroken,
    They chosen by a nation, elevated, praised, upheld, sacrificed,
    They who hunt you down through dawn and dark.

    Run from them who stood unbroken before the ends of all they knew.
    Run from them who fought in ruin, chaos, confusion, and desperation.
    Run from them who made a nation what it is, breaking foe and fiend.
    Run from them all you want; they shall find you soon enough.
    Cogitation


    The Numbers...WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!
    Spirit


    Set me free and know true liberation.
    Shatter


    Make pieces of what was once whole.
    Liberation


    Rise! RISE! Rise from thse shackles!




    Melodies - Melodies are hyper-narrow Psychic powers, designed to be as non-dangerous to use as possible. Yet, thanks to them being designed around being used by five Psykers in tandem, they consistently are more powerful than Imperial-equivalent powers.

    The oldest war that has ever been fought...
    ERASE


    ERASE
    Graveyard


    Let the dead rest in peace.
    They deserve a place to sleep.
    And we to weep.
    Ghosts of the Holy Beasts


    They may not be summoned at power equalling their migth...
    But it is good to know that one can have them by one's side all the same.
    Lifeline


    The last thing you may use.
    The first thing you may pray to for existing.
    Judgement Called


    Your lies shall not decieve the faithful.
    Legacy Of The Federation


    Booze, Company, Love, Kills.
    One to ejoy the evening with.
    One to compare your skills.
    One to have something to fight for.
    One to boast with.
    But in what order...
    We Were


    See What Has Happened In The Past, And May Happen Once More.
    Tribe of Eternity


    Just as Night can Fall,
    So too can Day Break.
    Tribe of the Sword


    Cross the hilt, overpower the foe, strike the head.
    Pierce the mail, bash the plate, huff a breath while they reel.
    Kick their leg, plunge your sword, pivot to another foe.
    Unavoidable Gallows


    Nowhere to run...
    FEAST


    LET THE VOID CONSUME THEM ALL
    Golem


    Not born to taste the air.
    Not born to smell a freshly baked bread.
    Not born to devour symphonies.
    Not born at all.

    Yet alive all the same.

    There are many horrors out there.

    A curse upon them.

    Them who dare to defy the fates.
    A Tribe Called Celestia


    Forty...Thousand years of technological development.
    And where has that brought you?
    Back to me.
    Howling at the moon, like your ancestors once did.
    In that dark cave where you huddled around a fire.
    One you could not even rekindle should it go out.
    Sleep, Little One


    Hush now, rush now, little ones,
    To the end of the road,
    where dreamless sleep awaits...
