Ascension by Lorcan Ward
A Warhammer 40k Tyranids/Genestealer cult inspired Metalcore song
This song originally started as a Baldurs Gate 2 song about the "Cult of the Unseeing Eye". Then it slowly changed into a song from the POV of a Chaos Preacher on an Imperial World. I felt it wasn't telling as good a story as my specific Chaos legion songs. I stopped working on it for a while until one day the idea of a Genestealer Cult came into my head and all the lyrics just flowed after that.

♫ Lyrics ♫
Gather round and listen to the
Call from far beyond
You've been misled throughout your life
By false prophets lies
Preaching empty words devoid of hope
In plain disguise they shield your eyes
Damning you one and all
But there is truth beyond the stars
In shadow's night there is life
They whisper from the void
That you are blind
With eyes shut you've failed
To see the coming light
But I can show you
Where truth resides
Built on fear, built on lies
All your life ostracised
Blind falsehoods lead astray
And every moral meets decay
Idol corpses withering
Offer naught but slavery
Empty masses, hollow prayers
Souls are forfeit
Through blood and gold
You pay their tolls
False salvation for your soul
And if you fail your children's children
Pay the price, dawn to demise
What they've built is doomed to fall
This false deity will damn us all
Have no fear, hear no lies
Worry not for their reprise
Where you were once led astray
Your soul can still be saved
This is truth, this is sight
I bring the only guiding light
Cast of the mantle of the blind
For your ascension is this night
Upon the altar of divine
Stand the gods of blood and time
Witness the birth and know true sight
Behold the all seeing eye
Without fear, without lies
We stand for reason against the blind
Once led astray our souls have now been saved
Without fear, without lies
This is the only guiding light
Ascension from the skies
Embrace the all seeing eye

I adore how every single point the cult/genestealers are raising about the Imperium are 100% correct, its just that the alternative they offer is being soup In short I love this song

@LorcanWard 2 месяца назад

It was a lot of fun to really tear down the Imperium, pointing out the stagnation, moral bankruptcy and inevitable decline of the empire. In the end he isn't offering anything better but he's able to prey upon them with the religious ideals of salvation.

@LorcanWard 2 месяца назад

Thanks! It wasn't planned at all but once I got the idea the whole song really came together. I collected Genestealers/tyranids back in the 90s so I had to pay them tribute someday.

@ghostridergold5997 2 месяца назад

Never thought much of the Tyranids. Thought they are just bugs that need to be put down before chaos, due to how dangerous they are. Now I see why some could join such cults. If your life is bleak and you don't want to be a part of crumbling empire, doing so is one of very few options. I still put faith in the Empire, but I understand people who don't have that in them anymore. PS: If I had a chance, I would totally join the Nurgle cult, though😆

@leolovegood3472 2 месяца назад

Joining Genestealers cults is not free-will choice. First members are just mind-controlled and fertilized by Genestealer (future Patriarch of the cult). Others are just mutants and human-Tyranid hybrids, that was born from this infected people. They are not fully human, and even in rules Genestealer Cults is in “Xenos” category.

I wish I had a full Tyranid song ready now. I’ve toyed around with some ideas but I really want to grasp the cuthulu horror they are. I’ve been reading a lot of HP lovecraft lately so that is getting some ideas flowing for cosmic horror lyrics.

In a galaxy of endless suffering, the story of an average Genestealer Cult is the most heartbreaking. It's essentially a communist uprising with added gribbly monsters - and the hopes of the rebels are dashed in the most horrific fashion. Great music, incidentally.

I know the space marines are the big ticket items but I adore your Xenos songs: there's such good lyricism and creativity here! I'd love to see you tackle either of the Eldar factions, maybe incorporating some folk elements to show off their ancient Faerie vibes.

@LorcanWard 2 месяца назад

Thanks! While the xenos aren’t as fleshed out as the Imperium factions they do offer many unique ideas that I love diving into. I’ve two Eldar songs nearly written. They couldn’t be any more different so I’ll have to release them one after the other.

@Wormy_fren 2 месяца назад

You know this is a pretty cool genestealer cult song. And it also explores the tyranids well by rarely even mentioning them in a offhanded sentence or two. Which sumarizes most tyranid lore perfectly since they usually just come in and then die. Man. The zerg really are just the better tyranids.

@LorcanWard 2 месяца назад

Thanks! I wanted to allude to a cosmic presence beyond known space, as the song goes on it escalates to them being literal Gods, getting closer and closer.

Were you inspired by Stringstorm’s song by chance?

@LorcanWard 2 месяца назад

@@akumaking1 No, I didn’t even know Stringstorm had a Tyranid sing. Musically this was inspired by In Flames, Unearth, All that Remains, Trivium etc and the lyrics were originally about Baldurs Gate 2(Cult of the Unseeing Eye), it changed into a chaos song for a short while before it became a Genestealer Cult song. There’s some HP Lovecraft influence in there too, I had just finished reading At the mountains of madness. Mostly just influenced by religious imagery, denouncing the imperium, the preacher inciting rebellion, these things just come in bursts of inspiration so it can be hard to pinpoint where.
