Battle Hymn of the Black Templar


Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Emperor's mighty word

He has opened up the souls of men where mankind's wrath is stored

He has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword

The Emperor is marching on!

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory no pity no remorse no fear,

His Word is marching on!

We have seen Him in the hallowed halls of a hundred Templar keeps

We have builded Him His altars in the mountains and the deeps

We will fight for him upon the alien plains and alien steeps

The Emperor is marching on!

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory no pity, no remorse, no fear,

His Word is marching on!

I have read a fiery gospel writ in rows of burnished steel

"As ye deal with my contemners so with ye my grace shall deal"

Let the Hero of the Emperor crush the serpent with his heel

The Emperor is marching on!

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory no pity, no remorse, no fear,

His Word is marching on!

He has ordered forth the Crusade that shall blast Chaos to stone

He is sifting through the hearts of men before his Golden Throne

He is peace to those whom are pained and weary to the bone

The Emperor is marching on!

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory no pity, no remorse, no fear,

His Word is marching on!

With His Ray of Light he guides us through the perils of the Warp

His blessing keeps our bolters accurate and our chainswords sharp

His Word is like the beautiful music of our Chaplain's harp

The Emperor is marching on!

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory no pity, no remorse, no fear,

His Word is marching on!

The Emperor, in his glory, is all that I can see

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me

As he died to make men holy let us die to make men free

The Emperor is marching on!

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory, no pity, no remorse, no fear,

Glory, glory no pity, no remorse, no fear,

His Word is marching on!
