The First Excess 🔥 | STEEL SERPENT | Warhammer 40K Glam Metal

“The First Excess” — STEEL SERPENT A solo single from the Death to the False Emperor universe. Warhammer 40K Chaos Glam Metal Before he met Death to the False Emperor, Steel Serpent was beginning to feel his corruption take hold. Incense becomes unbearable. Familiar pleasures lose their taste. A guitar note cuts through the numbness—and the applause awakens a hunger he can no longer quiet. His Blood Angels vows still haunt him, but forbidden sensation is beginning to sound sweeter than forgiveness. Crushing Chaos Space Marine riffs meet seductive male glam vocals, soaring belts, and flamboyant guitar solos. Steel Serpent performs all vocals and his own lead guitar. The Bloodless Servants, his unnamed accompanying musicians, provide instrumental support only. This song takes place before he met any of his future bandmates. Based on my custom miniature conversions and homebrew lore. LYRICS: Something's changed. I can hear it through the armour. The incense makes my stomach turn. The candles sting my eyes. I hear the little scrape of teeth Behind a brother's smile. The wine is thin. The gold is dull. My gloves feel rough as stone. I pull them off to touch the strings— The first clear thing I've known. One note crawls beneath my skin. I bend it till it screams. My hearts kick hard against the plate. I play it twice as mean. I should be kneeling. I know the words. But something answers When I make it hurt! MORE! LET THE NOTE CUT DEEPER! MORE! LET THE RED RUN BRIGHT! I CAN FEEL MYSELF BECOMING SOMETHING THEY WOULD NEVER BLESS! OH, WHAT A LOVELY FEELING— THE FIRST EXCESS! Forgive me. That used to come so easily. I found some players without names. They never asked for mine. They watched me set the relic down And plug the silver in. A hundred bodies filled the room. Their sweat caught in my throat. I felt them move beneath my hands With every filthy note. Someone reached to touch my greave. I let them kiss the gold. I held the last note past its death— They begged. I let it go. I heard them pleading. I made them wait. How sweet a second When you own its weight! MORE! LET THE NOTE CUT DEEPER! MORE! LET THE RED RUN BRIGHT! I CAN FEEL MYSELF BECOMING SOMETHING THEY WOULD NEVER BLESS! OH, WHAT A LOVELY FEELING— THE FIRST EXCESS! Afterward, I washed my hands. The water barely touched me. I turned the heat until it burned. At last, I felt it coming. I saw my face above the sink. The same mouth. The same eyes. I tried to say my father's name— Then heard the crowd inside. I kept the wings. I kept the blade. I couldn't throw those years away. But when I closed my eyes to pray, My fingers wanted— ONE MORE TAKE! Turn it up! The walls still stand! Put the thunder In my hands! Turn it up! I need to feel! Something louder Than the oath I sealed! Darling— I think I liked it. MORE! LET THE NOTE CUT DEEPER! MORE! LET THE RED RUN BRIGHT! I CAN FEEL MYSELF BECOMING SOMETHING THEY WOULD NEVER BLESS! OH, WHAT A LOVELY FEELING— THE FIRST EXCESS! MORE! I CAN HEAR THEM THROUGH THE ARMOUR! MORE! I CAN TASTE IT ON THEIR BREATH! I WAS SHAKING WHEN I STARTED— NOW I WANT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Tomorrow, I'll ask forgiveness. Tonight— I've found a better sound. #Warhammer40K #GlamMetal #ChaosMetal #SteelSerpent #TheFirstExcess #Slaanesh #DeathToTheFalseEmperor
