♫ Lyrics ♫
Rumble from the sound of ordnance
As the Helldivers set the field aflame
March in step, side by side
For this backwater is not the place I'll die
Orders in from high command
The automatons are taking their last stand
Chorus 1:
For Liberty
We fight in the name of democracy
On Cyberstan
Sovereignty is the enemy of man
On these proving grounds
Shells are bombarding all around
Now back at base another battle for me awaits
Verse 2:
War brings the fanfare
And he endless honour tied to my name
With a pinch of modesty
And a tank of freedom to seal the deal
Refit and redeploy
Purge these bugs
Their kind must be destroyed
Chorus 2:
For Liberty
We fight in the name of democracy
With every shell
Curse this filth and send them straight to hell
On these proving grounds
Shells are bombarding all around
Now back at base another medal for me awaits
Interlude:
For duty, For honour
For a cup of liber-tea
I’ve lost my train of thought
But on this world there must be a pot to steam
By your 10th star you learn a thing or two
8 minute nap, extra nutrient snack
And the Helldivers will attack
Chorus 3:
For Liberty
We fight in the name of democracy
Spend every shell
Hold the line, the dream of prosperity
On these proving grounds
Fight and die for super earth’s ideals
With your last breathe
Escort this filth down to the gates of hell

When Helldivers 2 came out I noticed a lot of my songs got added to gaming playlists, with that came all the requests to do a song so here is "For Liberty". I planned to get this one out months ago but life has been quite busy. Everyone welcome Berzan Önen back on vocals. Enjoy!!!! 🤘
Edit - So apparently there has been a change to CZcams's algorithm recently that has heavily reduced the reach of music. It seems every music channel is being effected and getting a fraction of the views they normally do. When I checked CZcams studio it showed this video wasn't even being shown to an audience who likes metal or helldivers. It was purposely shown to an audience with zero interest in either so the CTR plummets. Not ideal : /

[@MastemaJack]

Helldivers is basically 40K before the A.I revolution.

[@LorcanWard]

There are a lot of similarities for sure

[@MastemaJack]

@@LorcanWard I have a theory of every sci-fi franchise timeline converge into 40K.

[@christianleocastelo342]

You mean the age of strife?

[@laurentiuvladutmanea3622]

Eh. I would not say that. There Helldivers is much more primitive then what the Golden Age is portrayed as.
Plus, on the topic of fitting in as the past, the FTL is also a factor that stops Helldivers for fitting with Warhammer. Real space FTL travel by methods of space time warping are incompatible with the backstory of 40k, with the Age of Strife happening because of the Warp Storms cutting out the human colonized worlds and destorying all interstellat comunication, trade, and travel. I can see the Golden Age having many technologies, but FTL methods not based on the Warp is not one I can see, thanks to how devastating the destruction of Warp travel was for the Golden Age mankind. This also stops basicallly all stories with real-space FTL for humans(like Star Trek, Mass Effect or Helldivers) from fitting in the past of 40k.

[@MastemaJack]

@@christianleocastelo342 yes sure

[@vykisgaming7121]

That one dislike is probably an automaton.
Edit: Damn, there's eight of them now.

[@LorcanWard]

How do you even see dislikes? I had to go deep into CZcams Studio to find them. it says 4 but I'm surprised there aren't more considering the audience CZcams sent this too.

[@vykisgaming7121]

@@LorcanWard There’s a chrome extension called ‘Return CZcams Dislike’ which allows you to see dislikes again. But it’s only a rough estimate, so the number shown in CZcams Studio is likely more accurate.

[@ChrisTintinger]

This is amazing, when Lorcan Ward cooks, the table is filled aplenty

[@LorcanWard]

Thanks!

[@sirreaper3067]

For democracy, for liberty, for freedom! The song gives amazing vibes, and the hype it builds is unreal! Going to be blasting this in the hellpods for sure, a glorious victory.

[@LorcanWard]

Hell yes! 💪

[@ydraig95]

i love all the music you make

[@LorcanWard]

Good to hear! 🤘🏻

[@laurentiuvladutmanea3622]

A pleasant surprise to see a song about Helldivers. I am curious what is next. A song about Halo? Mass Effect? Destiny? Warframe? Half-Life? XCOM?
Yeah, you might first have to finish with Warhammer, but I am curious about what is next.

[@LorcanWard]

I have about 20 more Warhammer songs after I finish the legions so might be a while before I finish 40k. I’ve other songs about settings like the Witcher, dark tower and mad max that I’d love to record.

[@ForTheWarmasterHorus]

Mass effect song please

[@LorcanWard]

@@ForTheWarmasterHorusit’s been a long time since I played ME. I must pick up the collection again

[@specialoperatorlolbit8671]

I love the Helldivers universe.

[@DavidSchiess]

What a fine day to have ears and ⬆➡⬇⬇⬇

[@LorcanWard]

🤘

[@Flint-o4s]

As always, Amazing work

[@ForTheWarmasterHorus]

Unbreakable singer is back. Will you do more imperial guard songs?

[@LorcanWard]

I’ve got a whole album of Imperial Guard in the works for after I finish the legions.

[@Hiru_musicayletrasuwu]

Let's bings liberty to all to galaxy!!

[@LorcanWard]

🤘

[@Strale3234]

Great song, but i just wonder when will you get back to warhammer legions? I would love to hear blood angels song

[@LorcanWard]

Blood Angels and two more Legion songs are coming soon. There was just a few delays getting parts recorded. The BA is one of my favourite I’ve done so I’m really looking forward to releasing it.

[@Ollyatlas]

Song ideas
Horus heresy from the perspective of horus
The modern imperium from abaddons perspective
The modern imperium from guillimans perspective
A song about the sisters of battle
A song about the emperors children from fulgrims perspective
A song about the dark mechanicum

[@LorcanWard]

@@Ollyatlas I have 3 of those exact songs in the works. And two of them could sort of count as other songs I’m working on.

[@Ollyatlas]

@@LorcanWard thanks

[@YOESTUPIDO]

Damn wasn’t expecting it
Have a cup of liberteeeeee

[@LorcanWard]

🤘🏻
