Lyrics:

Green armor burn beneath fading suns,
Kasrkin stand where the war was won.
Where millions held and would not yield,
Against the horrors on every field.

The ancient pylons cracked and torn,
Guardians lost, from Cadia borne.
Yet Creed's blood flows, unyielding fire,
Each blast a hymn, our hearts inspire.

Thirteen times they crashed like waves,
Now Abaddon’s wrath in blackened haze.
The Gate of Cadia will not crumble,
and our honor is not Expendable.
Our faith unbent, our spirit rid,
The planet broke before the Guard did.

Castellum walls bear echoes strong,
Of Kell’s last fight, his final song.
With Creed beside him, unbowed, unbent,
Against Blackstone's wrath, fate they met.

A thousand tanks in proud array,
Leman Russ leads the steel ballet.
Basilisks sing, their voices loud,
Where honor lives, no fear allowed.

Thirteen times they crashed like waves,
Now Abaddon’s wrath in blackened haze.
The Gate of Cadia will not crumble,
and our honor is not Expendable.
Our faith unbent, our spirit rid,
The planet broke before the Guard did.

When terror strikes, we march unbowed,
Where others falter, we roar aloud.
We are the shield, we are the sword,
For Cadia’s honor, by His word.

Now stars bear witness to our fight,
Each Guardsman fought in holy light.
Scattered far, yet hearts remain,
Bound to Cadia, through loss and pain.

Whiteshields rise as legends born,
Guided by plasma’s searing storm.
Through bolts and flames, our banners wave,
Cadia stands, in each heart engraved.

Thirteen times they crashed like waves,
Now Abaddon’s wrath in blackened haze.
The Gate of Cadia will not crumble,
and our honor is not Expendable.
Our faith unbent, our spirit rid,
The planet broke before the Guard did.

Thirteen times they crashed like waves,
Now Abaddon’s wrath in blackened haze!
The Gate of Cadia will not crumble,
and our honor is not Expendable!!!
Our faith unbent, our spirit rid,
The planet broke before the Guard did!

If anyone is interested, I've created a Discord server and for now i have no idea how to use it (it's still very basic, and I'll work on improving it in the coming days). The link for the server is in the channel description. Happy listening.

[the-sunstrider]

Blasted this in the gym; 200, 000 recruits for Cadia.

[anakak]

THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID, CADIA STANDS!

[alexanderstumm]

Soldiers of Cadia, raise your banners and let all know: Cadia stands.

[Wynterian]

Cadia cannot fall as long as its name is remembered

[disgustingweeb]

The Rift tore the entire Milky way in half. The correct statement is "The entire galaxy broke before the Guard".

[ponticgreekmapper]

I wish this could just exist in Instagram music to put this in my notes without giving any context to non-warhammer fans

[akramgimmini]

For that weak sack of flesh that you so gleefully mock is no super soldier, no immortal warrior, no creature cursed by chaos like you. He is a man, an imperial guardsmen drawn from some forgotten corner of the Imperium to fight for his species and for the safety of the people he loves. He is a factory worker, a farmer, a storekeeper, a father, a brother, a son, a mere man. And against creatures like you, teeming and numberless, powered by the very will of thirsting He holds the line. He has held the line for ten thousand Years.

CADIA STANDS! FOR THE 8TH AND THE EMPEROR, FORWARD!

[tristanband]

I suspect this would be a marching song sung when morale is flagging or when marching home from a victory.

Imagine that band of brothers and sisters, the last children of Cadia, full of pride with every verse restoring flagging resolve. Their ogryn, who don't understand or remember the words, nevertheless humming perfectly in tune. Their voices providing the bass that is heard and felt by the entire regiment. Even as Abaddon destroyed their home, they stand tall and proud. For, in a sense, as long as they all draw breath?

Cadia stands.

[Flannel-Channel]

I feel like if there was a movie about the fall of cadia and it ended with a graphic scene of cadia being torn apart and the galaxy ripped asunder to invoke shock intot he audience

This song would be the intro to the second movie showing cadian fleets and shock troops hunting down traitor forces.

[LionElJonson-in]

The God Emperor blesses the brave guardsmen who give their lives over the entire empire and the empire blesses you, my son, for making such good music that reflects this perfectly!

[bits]

Another banger! Your marches are the best! FOR CADIA!

[BernddasBrotB]

As long as Failbaddon the Harmless draws breath, Cadia will never fall!

[specter]

It is said that if humanity can not bring Chaos to heel they will bring it down alongside if they fall

[chalzen]

As long as a single guardsman of Cadia lives then, Cadia Stands!

[Wanderingsage]

"The planet broke before the guard did" is fire 🔥.

[.DKOK.]

broken before the planet guardians
I invite you to a moment of silence on the 1st of July for Cadia, who sacrificed herself for humanity.

[ImperialistFan]

OH HELL YEAH!
God dang so catchy I gave this song high marks
🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️
Stand unflinching, sons and daughters of Cadia !

[devilsadcate]

THE FORCES OF CHAOS SHALL BREAK UPON OUR CADIAN SHIELD! FOR CADIA! FOR THE

[DavidSmith-rbfp]

Love all the references to The Fall of Cadia in this. What a book, what a song!
