Lyrics written by Ethan Song:

==============

A song for a fan who really liked the Death Korps of Krieg. I decided to go for a more darker and sombre feel because I wanted to detach Krieg from the usual glorious-ness of 40k!

If the death korps are so expendable why is it £40 for a squad of infantry on forge world

On the first day of Krieg training you are taught three things.
1. If you step on a landmine, then congrats. You just disarmed a landmine.
2. If you get shot, then congrats. You just protected the man behind you.
3. If you die, then congrats. You just joined the sandbag division.

Vulkan: "I would like to hug this sad soldier"
Krieger: "but I'm not worthy"

[trygveblacktiger]

Kriegs guardsman: Where am i
The Emperor: My halls
Kriegs Guardsman: Was i a good Guardsman
The Emperor taking of the guardsmans mask to see the battle scarred face under it: I was told you where the best

[lanrowin]

"Fight until your blade is blunted, until the last round in your gun is spent. Fight until your Armour is rent and battered, until your flesh is bloodied and your bones are splintered and smashed. Fight until your lifeblood spills from your body, and nothing but your duty is left to sustain you. The Emperor expects no less."

[ltramon]

In life. War
In death. Peace.
In life. Shame.
In death. Atonement
-Final line of Litany of Sacrfice.

"May the mountains of our corpses earn a scrap of his forgiveness"

[GhostBear]

Administratum: "Planet Krieg, you owe a tithe of 1 Imperial Guard regiment..."
Krieg: "We have 10 ready now and another 10 due for activation next month, take it or leave it. Actually, you do not get the 'leave it' option."

[josepinto]

Normal guardmen:
I don't wanna die, let's mutiny.

Krieg guardmen:
They are not gonna make us charge to certain death?! Let's mutiny.

[FerreusVir]

To quote Boldermort; "Should the Emperor wake and rise from the Golden Throne, he could bring the entire people of Krieg to their knees, to destruction, by simply saying three words."

"I forgive you."

[yakumoyukarina]

Damn this song really tells a good story. This is not the heroic last stand of the Cadian Regiments, this is not the glory of the Adeptus Astartes and it is not the prometheum-fueled faith of the Adepta Sororitas... this is just blind carnage, unneeded destruction and death... this is the Death Korps of Krieg.

[Xaxp]

Krieger: Were just Guardsmen, sir. We are expendable...

Commissar: Correct.

[imperialguardsman]

Reminder that Kriegers refuse to accept imperial medals of honour because waging war in the name od the Emperor is enough of a reward

[OmegaLittleBob]

Krieg is a one of the most fascinating planets in 40K lore, but I really don't think people appreciate how twisted, fucked up and tragic it is. The entire planet feels like it has to pay for crimes that their ancestors didn't commit. Their ancestors are the ones that stayed loyal and resisted the traitors for generation after generation, but they still think they have to atone for something. I just think a few too many people think Kreig guardsmen are awesome without appreciating just how sad and wrong they are. They deserve to be just as proud of themselves as Cadians.

[jesuschrist]

Imagine a Krieg trooper who somehow managed to become fully immortal.
On one hand, he can sacrifice an unlimited amount of heretics to the emperor, but he can't seek the redemption he's fighting for.
Now that would be a real bitchslap from life, but he'd probably find some good in it.

First Company Gets decimated and don't achieve their objectives
Second Company: *Happy Muffled Noises*

[kommando]

This isn’t a song of Krieg patriotism, it’s a reminder a Kriegsman of what he must do to become clean.

Dark, brutally honest, and all knowing of what happens.

This is the Krieg way.

[lexsamreeth]

No Kriegsman has ever fallen to the forces of Chaos. For what drives them is beyond the emotions that any of them encompass. Not rage, not lust, not hope or despair.


A Kriegsman is driven by shame. And it is in that shame that they find their redemption.

[FreedomFighter-freedom]

"Nothing but gasmask and lasgun to utilise."
Krieg Shovel: Am I a joke to you?
