So, some time ago I've got a comission to write a song about the Knights Angelicus - one of the homebrewed orders. And tbh, for a homebrewed order, they've got quite a lot of interesting lore! Carrying the gene-seed of Sanguinius, heavy-metal knights who prefer heavy guns and close combat...
Learning about this order was fun. I tried to implement their rich story and battle chants into a hymn, simmiliar to We die Together. Hope you enjoy it :D
Anyway, here's the lyrics:
Knights Angelicus
Knights
Stand
Tall
In the fire of vengeance
We shall not fall
Heretics die
By our swords
Blood of Sakanna
We shall not fall
Sacred
Bonds
Of War
Blood of Sanguinius
We shall not fall
Our people
Stand
Strong
Children of Baal
We shall not fall!
______________________________________________
Our blood is old
Our swords are honed
Heat of hatred
Is filling our breath
Battleworn
Still we hunger for more
Victory over death!
Red thirst runs deep
Within our souls
Exterminate
The heretical filth
But we won't let it
Take control
Our wrath burns forever
Still
Knights of the angel
We hold the line
We honor the fallen
Their sacrifice
Broken and battered
In battle we dine
Knights of Sakanna
Noble, refined
The deed of betrayer
Will not be forgotten
Their hearts know no prayer
Their souls are rotten
Fire and thunder
Are our enemies' fate
Our foes
Will fall by our blade!
______________________________________________
Pre-chorus:
We fight
For the Emperor's will
Their damnable flesh
Will taste our steel;
Will burn to ash!
______________________________________________
Chorus:
Our final stand, we stand unbroken!
Brothers, our time is ripe!
We are our primarch's rage awoken!
We bear his blood with pride!
Honor!
Bound by the Stygian Oath
Glory!
Brotherhood built on holy words
We offer our swords!

The journey of blood
Through the treacherous rot
We remember our road
The stain of Dark Gods
We will wash away
This Unspeakable curse
Our brothers stand proud
Heralds of blood
Our order stands strong
Together we fight
Our banners stand high
Against enemies' force!

Rage
We fight for what's right!
Wrath
Commit xenocide
Fear
We Cast it aside
Spread
The Emperor's light
Forged
In the fire of war
Death
We shall not fall
Bleed
Hear Sanguinises call
Rise again!
FOR WE SHALL NOT FALL
