Steel Sentinel - Iron Shadow

Steel Sentinel - Iron Shadow IRON SHADOW! Through the burning green, IRON SHADOW! Strike and not be seen! For the Emperor and Ultramar I hold the line alone. IRON SHADOW! Till the mission's done, I will bring it home! Observe the ridge, assess the wind, Then strike and fade away. The eyes that guide their battlesuits Go dark at break of day. I burn their fuel, I cut their roads, I leave their convoys in the mud. They hunt a shadow through the hills And find only their own blood. Gold bolt gleaming on the rifle's spine, Honour from another war, another time. IRON SHADOW! Through the burning green, IRON SHADOW! Strike and not be seen! For the Emperor and Ultramar I hold the line alone. IRON SHADOW! Till the mission's done, I will bring it home! No voice upon the vox, no banner and no drum, Just forty days of silence and the work that must be done. I do not seek a martyr's grave, I do not crave the song. A dead man cannot hold the line... So I endure. I carry on! North across the wasteland, the Imperial line in sight, Aquilas on the trenchworks, burning in the light. Dravik stands to meet me, but he will not take the slate: The captain lives, it's his to hold. Vaelis at the gate. Seventeen he led across, wounded, but alive. I place the slate in Vaelis' hand. The Hundred-and-First survives! IRON SHADOW! Back from the burning green, IRON SHADOW! Out of the unseen! For the Emperor and Ultramar I held the line alone. IRON SHADOW! Now the mission's done, I have brought it home! Courage and honour! Courage and honour! ULTRA-MAR! This is an unofficial fan-made musical tribute inspired by the WH40K universe and the ASTARTES.
