[QUOTE="Zen_Pollo, post: 5311457, member: 11404"] [B]Weep and Sing with me, the Litanies of Battle.[/B] As all that spring from the Earth, Man's fate is to die Once a river surging through the galaxy, a Human tide flooded the stars many eons ago. Wave after wave, men drove foul Xenos before them. But the wave crested, the surge abated after Millenia of struggle and the waters grew dank. For as the river's current turns against itself, In swirling eddies at the base of a rapid, So did the tide of man work to cross purposes. Some humans turned to Chaos; stones choking the stream. Log-jams grew; tainted by corrupt Xenos Agents. Yet more men fell to filthy Herectical silt. Now the river's source grows weak; the God-Emperor Trapped in a Golden Throne, neither live nor dead. Long ago his storm fed the deep tributaries but A drought has come, no end in sight to quench our thirst Weep with me now for the waning strength of mankind; Thousands of souls feed the dying Carrion Lord. Weep with me now for the base frailty of mankind; Prone to corruption, most men cannot be trusted. Weep with me now for the endless wars of mankind; There is no moment of peace in this Age of Strife. But weak as men are now, set upon on all sides, The river still flows onward bloistered by teeming Masses, rank upon rank of expendables. Untold Billions fill the ranks of Imperial Guardsman. The Sons of the Emperor ride the river's crest. Brave warriors trained in glorious battle, Bred for strife, outfitted with peerless armorments; Known as Space Marines, the Adeptus Astartes. Yet even among these troops exist storied veterans, Space Marines strong and wise, well-tested in battle. Tough brawlers leading the raging river; Honors Adorn their proud Powersuits--unquestioned valor. But the Adeptus Astartes know greater men; Skilled campaigners; their war-prowess unsurpassed. Best Battle-Brothers of each Chapter form one force: The Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos! Sing with me now for the Power-Fist of mankind; Space Marines bursting through the foul Xenos logjams. Sing with me now for the dread Kill-Teams of mankind; For no scourge of the Xenos shall go unpunished. Sing with me now for the Defenders of mankind; Heap praise on the valorous deeds of the [B]Deathwatch[/B]!
