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
