They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me

Like clay I shall mould them, in the furnace of war shall I forge them

In great armour I shall clad them and with the mightiest guns shall they be armed

They shall be pure of heart and strong of body, untainted by doubt and selfishness

They are my Bulwark against the Terror

They are the Defenders of Humanity

They are the Angels of Death

They are the Space Marines

And they shall know no fear.
