    The Isstavan III Atrocity now done in Gangsta Rap form!
    Special thanks to Ethan Song for providing the lyrics:

    And to kernelxanders for helping me with coming up with themes for the lyrics:
    - / kernelxanders
    The song is actually from Army of the Pharoah's Battlecry. But when I did some digging, it turned out that they sampled their orchestra bits from ELO's tightrope.

    The Minotaur line is great. For those who don’t know the story: after the virus bombing failed to kill most of the loyalists, a months-long campaign was enacted by Horus to hunt down the loyalists.
    At some point, a heavy gunship of the Sons of Horus was returning to Horus’s flagship, the Vengeful Spirit. It had all of the proper identifying codes and was allowed to enter the hangar for rearming.
    When the Minotaur entered the hangar, the pilot delivered a spiteful message over the vox to the traitors, and proceeded to unleash a hellish barrage of missiles and bullets in the hangar. This attack killed an entire Sons of Horus company (~1,000 marines) and destroyed several gunships.
    The Minotaur was a suicide attack made by the loyalists against the traitors. The brave, anonymous pilot bought valuable time for the loyalists on the surface, creating confusion in an already very confused situation. This also forced the traitors to change all of their identifying codes and such, since the Minotaur attack revealed that their info is compromised.

      @@VanVeghel Galaxy in Flames is the book where you get the perspective of Horus, Garviel, Saul Tarvitz, and others as the Isstvaan lll atrocity happens. It's AMAZINGLY well-written. This is where the famous quote by Horus originates: "Align the guns... let the galaxy burn!"
      Also, on the Minotaur ship: when they flew into Horus's dock, he transmitted a brief signal, saying "I am here to avenge the blood of old Terra!" He opened fire with the heavy guns, blasting an entire company of Sons of Horus that were all grouped up, preparing to board a ship and fly down to hunt down the survivors.
      The Isstvaan lll atrocity is so fascinating. So many characters, so much drama going on. Galaxy in Flames gives you the "on the ground" perspective. For reference, Horus's initial betrayal with the virus bombs FAILED. He only wiped out about 1/3 of the loyalists. As the flames of the exterminatus began to die out, vox channels came to life. There was a lot of confusion, but there was also a lot of swearing and challenging and accusation, inviting the cowardly traitors to come face them.
      Knowing the full context of this event makes this song that much cooler. It seems to be Garviel Loken who is speaking in this song.

    The day the Heresy truly began. The day Brother turned against brother. Not just among the legions, but the Mechanicum and Imperial Army. Titan crews and support personnel. Rememberancers murdered aboard the Vengeful Spirit. The Imperium itself tore at the seems as Istvan burned. For the memory of Cthonia and the honor of the XVIth, I pledge my efforts. Who's with me!?

    Loken found his vengeance, though it took years he found it during the Siege of Terra at the battle for the Saturnine Wall! He helped lead one of the most devastating traitor defeats of the siege that destroyed three entire companies of the Sons of Horus including the Catulan reavers and Justaerin and bringing the deaths of many of the 16ths greatest commanders and personally slew both Tormageddon and Horus Aximand and all while wearing the colors of the Luna Wolves. He avenged the atrocity of Istvaan 3 and all the brothers lost in those three dark months.

    The blood of my brothers has been swallowed by the grounds.
    Unbelievable, insatible thirst.
    The lines break tide swells and rushes forth;
    My arms shake
    I am swallowed by the storm's surge.
    But I will turn from this,
    We will emerge from this,
    Ignore the creeping dread that
    slithers up our spines from this.
    Let out the final dirge;
    HEAR ME!
    I command the standard,
    so we will stand and face the chaos scourge!
    I count the days as they come;
    Turned to a month now
    Still we persevere as we raise
    The body count
    Beside the pangs of pain,
    Know that I know your face,
    You'll know mine,
    When every death is repaid.
    Burning bastions,
    Sanctioned by your chaplains;
    Line up every sight,
    While I align the battlements
    Ten-thousand lights, Burnt out in a blink
    We the stalwart stand prepared to hold
    Before this brink of the precipice
    While eye-to-eye with disaster;
    Decry the funeral song
    One reason left to hold on;
    SHOW ME THE WARMASTER!
    And those I thought were my brothers
    Have turned their backs on the fold
    The headman's axe, I now hold
    We hid ourselves in the dark;
    Foundations shook,
    Stepped out of the sunlight to reemerge;
    LUNA WOLVES
    Now We wait on our haunches;
    Coiled,
    Soon I will find my vengeance
    Against the despoiled!
    I can't forget the sight of air
    Becoming poison;
    Suffering immaterial,
    That fate; unavoidable.
    Knife meets back,
    As brothers meets bloodshed;
    Return to give the double-tap
    Into the serpent's head
    Back-stabber turncoats;
    Chain-of-command failures
    Minotaur lowers horns and as it
    Dives through your defenses
    The tide turns again, and not in our favor
    My forces face their deaths,
    But not once do they waver
    And as the palace is breached
    I'll take what I can reach
    Aim for Abaddon's throat
    Your life is beyond reproach
    By the despicable's hands
    Our hope is scattered like sand
    And every outcome I wanted
    Sits above me,
    I'm haunted!
    You should've cut deeper still;
    Buried my grave to fill
    Soon I will have all your heads;
    You should've checked I was dead!
    And I can still see their faces
    That trusting look, led astray
    Only blood can amend this.

    Every single time I hear the Luna wolves line, I think about that third of Horus’s soul that was removed to allow him to become the champion of chaos. The part of his soul that made him good.
    And then I think: “What if it came back? What if the Lupercal returned? Not as the Champion, not as the Warmaster, but as the father of the Luna Wolves?
    And then I picture the scene. Abbadon facing marines that desperately hold the line, guardsmen valiantly dying to the fire, titans of the emperor in melee with daemons warmachines...
    And then in the blind spot of the Despoiler, he sits. His haunches coiled. Ten thousand years of shame and horror brought by his own weakness.
    Abbadon’s hand is stayed by the weapon that slew the Emperor. The Favored Son has returned, and breaks the despoiler over his gleaming white knee.
    Trust may never return in full. Friendship an impossibility. But between the guidance of the Lord of Ultramar and the sheer vengeance of the Lupercal...that day marks the beginning of the end for the enemies of man...and perhaps the chance of their Father’s Dream to be achieved.

      I was also once a heretic until I saw that true strength is to turn away from easy power and fight with your own strength. Maybe you will have the same enlightenment one day.

    Recently, a discord server I'm on had a new addition who was a friend of the person who 'owns' (or at least had the owner role) the server. Immediately he began antagonizing everyone and causing problems, and rather than acknowledge this she defends him and threatens everyone else with her privileges. Even going so far as to say she'll delete the entire server, which is primarily everyone else's work.
    So, we've made our own server, and began copying over ALL of the information. Several years worth of lore, conversations, everything. From every server this pair is in.
    The final thing I post before I leave will be this very song.

    This is perhaps my favorite song from you. In my opinion, your best work thus far.

    damn, spitting some nice bars here. A shift from the traditional rhyming style was interesting and a nice change of pace. A good day to you sir and praise be to the emperor.

    Can't get this song out of my head, so much of a inspiration for my SOH 40k project.

    I couldn't count how many times I've listened to this and I have one- no wait, two questions. First, will there be a release for the instrumental version and second, why are you so awesome... the feels...
