Keepers - Original Song 

"Divinity is mankind's blight" I love that line. They still remember the Imperial Truth.

When one day, TTS returns. *Armored Shield-Captain enters.* "MY GLORIOUS OVERLORD, REQUESTING PERMISSION TO MARCH FOR MARS."

Ten thousand years. By ten milenia, despite what many could trought, Custodies, especially ones that survived siege of Terra has felt disgrace and sense of unending guilt that they failed their Emperor. But now, in the darkest hour of the Imperium, they can now prove themselvs once more to their creator, and bring light upon his work.

Holy crap the pure stubbornness and grit in this song perfectly describes the Custodes and everything they've seen and been through.

The lyrics "Dutybound to the Regent’s word But by His command alone the Son is heard" I enjoy it shows that the custodes are not following Guilliman just because he is the emperors son but because the emperor told them to and if the emperor tells them to stop listening to his son the custodes probably just abandon Guilliman and return to the palace.

Finally! Kitten and Banana bois get their song. Now I Just wait for Abaddon and his Black Legion. I bet ya its gonna be called „ The Despoiler(s)”

When Custodes show up to the battlefield even heretics salute and say yes, sir.

"His Lions Come." Remember the Lion of Terra, truest Captain-General of the Golden Ten Thousand, struck down by the wretched treachery of the Martian tech-lords.

I love how you can feel the dissapointment in the line of "through stone and steel… and faith we trudge" It's as if the saying "through stone and steel we trudge" was already a saying, but now with great sadness the "faith" part must be added, as that is how far the Imperium has fallen

Guess a short brake from learning math is now due Ps: nice to see SpeakerD still doing the emperors work

This song just describes the history of the Custodes perfectly

"Divinity is Mankind's blight." I can imagine a Companion staring at an Astartes that abandoned the Imperial Truth, silently judging them to be worse than Horus.

I feel my loyalty to The Emperor growing every second of this song. You have outdone yourself yet again.

I just love the reference to the Misericordia belief of the Custodes (in case u don't know, it's said that for each enemy Custodes un-alive with their knife, the Misericordia, the Emperor is slightly healed, bringing him to be eventually fully healed)

If you listen closely you can hear the sadness in the last "until one day our Lord returns" Amazing.

The emperor’s personal guard got a cool song.

man I wish there was a universe that this song would fit, alas we can only hope

Holy shit. Call me an utter nerd but I felt that shit in my heart man! The inspiration was almost shaking, god damn thats good. Resolute, dutiful, impactful, stalwart, sad. That was beautiful.

Lamenters, Guilliman, Guardsmen, and the Custodes embody the greatest characteristics and virtues of Humanity. Loyalty, tenacity, compassion, empathy and an unyielding will to see Humanity succeed against the unimaginable cruelty of itself and the galaxy.

"duty bound to the regent's word" "but by his command alone the son is heard" the custodes dont care if its the son of the emperor, **they only answer to the emperor**

The mention of lions threw me at first because the Emperors Spears book is about the Celestial Lions and Spears chapters fighting a hopless fight in Nihlus. I know its custodes I just think its funny how it kinda fits.

No matter how much greatness and power is in this song. No matter how much duty and discipline it is filled with, at the end the only thing left to hear is sorrow. Something hidden very deep within every single one of the Custodes who have seen it all from day 1. Custodes know what's up and that hits me really hard. They could have easily continued Emperor's work since they've been there and seen it all, they know exactly what to do. The word of any Custodian would be the most based and absolute order for any human in the Imperium. But they don't and "march in proper place" instead while keeping everything inside.

This is Warhammer, this is Truehammer. If only Games Workshop could even touch the glory of your work, StringStorm. It is most unfortunate, that as a soulless Corporation, they can never touch such divinity. Ave Imperator.

The plodding, steady beat really sells how ancient the Custodes are, first of The Emperor's warriors. Their duty and vigil has never ended across the life of the Imperium. The loss they feel, even from those who never saw The Emperor in his prime, is a shame they can never escape.

Ah yes, my badass golden uncles finally have their song.

Another masterwork delivered! Can't wait for the next one

This is how Custodes song should be, every word clean, every chorus non-repeating... No Custodian is like the other, just as no other is like a Custodian. Thank you, StringStorm! Even in these dark times, you show us that there is some light. Ave Imperator!

in my opinion this is the feeling of every soldier in the imperium from custodes to guardsmen.

MY OILED ABS QUIVER AT THIS SONG!

I love how steady this song is, just like how I imagine custodes are.

Among other things, this song convinces me that the Custodes aren't just automatons or perfect soldiers for the Emperor, rather they are what the Emperor believes mankind can become, a little piece of his vision of the perfect humanity he so strives for brought into reality, or as close to reality as it can be They aren't the space marines, the angels of the Emperor, as they lack any of the extra organs that define them They are humanity distilled and purified A shining fragment of His dream

The worst Part is the fact that we have to wait 9 Months till it is on Spotify

It takes an absurd amount of gold to make Astartes look like common scrubs.

the echoing drum in the background gives me an image of the most sigma slowwalk from say...a really heavy suit of armor.

Imagine how hilarious every enemy’s reaction would have been if for ten thousand years the Custodes had been busy recruiting without taking loses to replace. All across the Imperium’s vast population. Guilliman shows up, tells them to kick ass, and an insanely advanced ocean of gold sweeps across the galaxy. Heck, the thought of the Eldar pissing themselves in jealousy and horror of Mankind’s potential…feels good, man. And really it’s waaaaay more believable than Primaris. Would fit the Space Warhammer analogue to WFB’s Storm dudes much better than Primaris, too.

Every each one of the Custodians are a promise for mankind; in other times each one of them would be a legend who´s name would echoes through eons in reverence. They not only wards the Emperor Himself, but the future of mankind with all the knowledge and wisdom their possess, be arts, science, warfare and beyond; they are the only ones who keeps the dream of a better humanity, free of superstition, fear and blind faith on lies. How magnificents, but how pityfull, for in the grimm darkness of the 42nd millenium there can be no victor.

Our Glorious Captain-General shall return one day, I know it.

I didn't expect a song about the Custodes, but it is amazing. ❤ I am glad to have heard this song only 22 minutes after it was uploaded.

Until one day TTS returns

A perfect blend of glory, honor and empathy

By terras holy tits... Tis kittens death that I recalled and a drop of tear did i drop For amongst the thousands he was the one To hear me rumble and mourn

The Custodes finally get a song that isn't if the emperor had a tts device related so they aren't oiled up strippers

The Imperium ALWAYS has a bigger hammer to smite its enemies with.

Speaker D back at it again with his artistry for words.

The lyrics Golden lights, we are His crafted ones Behold our might, His Lions come Angels flee, we spur thy sight Divinity is mankind's blight We stand in place where futures die Fortune withers, broken pride We stand in gold, we stand in red We stand for truth, for pain, for dread Spears strikes true Through flesh and blood Through stone and steel and faith we trudge With foes behind and goes beyond A hopeless fight we battle on Yet vigil held in our disgrace We stand and march in proper place For halcyon days we hope and dream Our fallen Lord may yet return For Ten Millenia we stood and watched Until his Son Deemed us to march Golden Lights His crafted ones Shone once more on blackened suns We march to war from star to star While purging doubt within our hearts Dutybound to the Regent’s word But by His command alone the Son is heard Spears strikes ture through flesh and blood Through stone and steel and faith we trudge With foes behind and foes beyond A hopeless fight we battle on Yet vigil held in our disgrace We stand and march in proper place For halcyon days we hope and yearn Our fallen Lord may yet return Until that time we’ll fight the Dark Until that time we’ll be the spark Until that time the Taint shall burn Until one day our Lord returns

I love this so much, it's so rare to come by Adeptus Custodes stuff like music tributes or even songs dedicated to them, this fucking exquisite well done StringStorm and to everyone that helped in the making of this Song

Gotta love my banana bois

We endure.

Old on now. I did the get here fast thingamajig. Also I already like this song because compared to other 40k songs this sounds like an older style. Fitting, if hard to explain

Left speechless again, excellent work Stringstorm.

Why does it sound so sad yet so enduring

I have been waiting for this for so long, the Custodes are my absolute most favourite faction, and this song fits them perfectly. Thank you very much for this

The new hymn for the oversized golden banana

*Still waiting for a Primarch Idol Video, and a Night Lords video.*

A marvelous song, a light in the dark.

"With foes behind. And foes beyond" Really working in that fight just past the Throne room against the daemons.

Finally!!!

THE GOLDEN BANANAS WILL FIGHT ON

THE TEN THOUSAND STANDS FOREVER!

Bagpiping intensifiee

Always making bangers

Yes the Custodes finally have a theme

Very nice

Chaos forces run in panic. Chaos Lord: Why you running?! Chaos Marine: Adeptus Custodes! Chaos Lord: How many! CM: 2 CL: shit... We have only ten thausonds... We are outnumbered!

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Kitten is soo proud...

Amazing song Custodies are awesome and you did them proper justice

Mom, StringStorm just uploaded a new song!

This is my favorite song about Custodes. The other is Aye aye aye aaaaaaaaaaaaaayeee dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.

Rest in peace our beloved captain general

Great song!

My oiled abs quiver.

Bravo!

WE ARE THE TRUE SWORDS OF LIGHT!!!!!

Damn this slaps

I feel this song is a great theme for Sheild Captian Colquan in dark imperium

*I-it's beautiful...*

Glory to the Emperor and the Ten thousand!

Reminds me of my little stint in congo

exactly what the custodes feel like

Neat

The janitodes guardians of the man king of the kingdom of humans

Let’s get this song to 100k views before march 9th guys

custodes are the harvard of the imperium

I’m really curious and a bit concerned about what will happen when a second Primarch returns. In theory every single loyalist Primarch has an equal claim to Big E’s legacy, and so in theory could challenge him, and I figure whoever the custodies side with would win.

Lord that first word hit me like a truck and the others did stop

Great song! It feels powerful and magestic, just like custodes, good job! (Still waiting to see how you would make a song about Alpha Legion :D)

One of the better songs. I'm not easy to impress. This song impresses me. The tones are meaningful and the lyrics state a message that isn't black and white. There's a sense of embracing the pain and suffering. Instead of pretending one can simply flee from it like a coward. Face and confront. Even if angels stand in your way. Forge your own path. A shame so many in warhammer lose sight of that. When they blindly follow the emperor or the chaos gods. Two sides of the same coin really. The lyrics hint at some space marines knowing that. After all, it was in the name of the emperor that a chaos artifact was destroyed and freed a chaos god (first dawn of war game). "Stand in disgrace" fits for reasons such as that. Adds more weight to "mankinds blight" too.

This is a Custodes Song

That's typical, the special, golden boys of the Emperor get only the best of everything. -Weapons -Armor -Body -Souls -Songs Only the best and greatest for the Emperor's glorified cleaning crew. sincerely a heretic
