[Verse]
In service to the Emperor, our will unbreakable
Striving for excellence, our path unshakable
Perfection in every step, our goal defined
His vision of greatness, forever in mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Children of the Emperor! Death to His foes!
Pride in our hearts as our strength shows
Every achievement, a mark of our way
In pursuit of greatness, we will not sway

[Chorus]
For the Emperor, we fight with pride
In His name, we won't be denied
Each step forward in the right direction
Fueled by our quest for perfection

Perfect ecstasy,
boundless cacophony,
excessive agony

I need no more!

[Verse]
Reject the chaos, turn away from the lie
Our strength in loyalty will never die
Our path is clear, our hearts are pure
Through honor and faith, we shall endure

[Pre-Chorus]
Children of the Emperor! Death to His foes!
In His light, pure perfection flows
We shall give devout praise to the Emperor's might
Sing His name as we bring forth the light

[Chorus]
For the Emperor, we fight with pride
In His name, we won't be denied
Each step forward in the right direction
Fueled by our quest for perfection

[Verse]
The deeds of the virtuous echo through time
While the fallen are lost in history’s grime
To bring order and peace is our true legacy
Virtue is always more preferable to infamy

[Bridge]
Let the air ring with our righteous cry
For the Higher cause, we live and die
Our Father grants us a guiding hand
We'll defend His truth across the land

[Chorus] x2
For the Emperor, we fight with pride
In His name, we won't be denied
Each step forward in the right direction
Fueled by our quest for perfection

[Outro]
On the quest for perfection, we make our vow
Our influence spreads, we stand firm now
The traitors shall fall, their corruption ends
To the Imperium, our devotion extends

[apollyonkurze]

In a different time, in a different world, the Emperor's Children would be seen in the same light as the Salamanders. Their violet armor would be a beacon of hope, for they, the Sons of the Phoenician, had arrived. They who bear the Emperor's own mark are here now. Their drive for perfection could have made them empire builders like Ultramarines, never ceasing until they made the Imperium a perfect home for mankind.

A timeline where Rylanor would have been proud of his legion, not disgusted by it.

[randomcenturion]

(Time Traveller Moves a Chair)

Fulgrim: "Urgh, gross! I don't want some Xenos sword over my dear Brother's Fireblade. Burn this whole temple to the ground. And get Eidolon up here, I'm about to fire his ass."

[yourlocalt]

Rylanor, you are finally awake. What, Istvaan III atrocity? Me turning into a daemon serpent? You must've had a bad dream my ancient friend, I wouldn't betray my father. The Warmaster Horus had defeated the Tyranid invasion. There's a parade, we wouldn't want to be late.

[thethunderchieftain]

This is absolutely perfect!
*REJECT THE DILDO SWORD, EMBRACE THE EMPEROR'S LIGHT*

[miriamemanueleforneris]

If the emperor children were saved from the corruption of slaanesh, they could have been the greatest Heroes of the imperium

[theemperorprotects]

An Emperor's Children marine playing a violin is exactly what I was hoping to see with this, it fits so well! A song for all of the traitor legions as a sort of "What If?" series where they remain loyalist would be lovely! I assume the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus don't need one, since their song is mostly loyalists, but I'd love one for the Thousand Sons or World Eaters!

[nickray]

I've been blessed with TWO Emperor's children songs. Truly the Emperor protects

[lordblovesgermany]

The idea that they would have stayed loyal makes me nearly cry.

[morgant.dulaman]

I don't know why, but the scenario I have painted in my brain involves a few small changes where the traitor primarchs (with some help from their loyalist brothers) end up helping each other avoid their fall:

Lorgar and Magnus save Angron from the Butcher's nails.

Angron and Magnus find out about and subsequently psychically beat the Keeper of Secrets out of Fulgrim while Ferrus talks him out of his slide into degeneracy.

Fulgrim and Lorgar help Konrad understand that failure to measure up to a standard is part of learning and the important thing is to grow from it, prompting him to open up to Sanguinius, learn the future isn't set in stone, and start mending his own ways before they can destroy his sanity.

Konrad and Angron get Mortarian to pull back on his jackassary by showing him that a) normal people are as apt as psykers to become tyrannical and B) while the emperor can certainly be a jackass, the alternatives are clearly worse and in the instance he was ticked over, the golden boy really was there to save him.

Fulgrim, Ferrus, and Vulkan talk the emperor into having Perturabo build his perfect city on Terra itself while Dorn works on the palace, and the emperor explains to Peter Turbo that he and Dorn are meant to be compliments, not rivals.

Konrad and Magnus find out what Erebus and Kor Pharon are all about and get Alpharius and Omegon to arrange an "accident" to take them out of the picture.

Finally, even if Horus gets stabbed, Chao has nothing to build on from that and with the help of all his brothers, he recovers and carries on as the heroic and loyal Warmaster in the name of the Emperor.

[draknor]

The Sons of The Pheonix march strong today brothers. We know not why this song resonates in our hearts, but we will bring forth his light with our Banners. For The God Emperor my Battle Brothers!

[Inikalord]

Whoever you are, you are an incredible person for listening to the requests of the community for releasing a "Pure" version of this song. It's completely on brand and understandable that the originally released song fits the Emperor's Children to a tee, so technically there was no actual need to make this... But you went ahead and did it anyway.

To me, I think it's an indicator of just how damn well that opening portion of the original sounded before the Chaos took over. AI or not, it is unironically a very catchy melody, so much so that I sometimes found myself re-listening to that portion specifically and inwardly desiring a full version based around it.

So once again, thank you for going the extra mile. If I could sub again, I totally would.

[ultramarinescaptain]

I love how noble the song sounds. Paints teh Emperors children as reformed addicts. Perfection was tempered into martial perfection, and humbled by knowing they are always under the Emperors light.

[Harbinger]

you do realize now you need to do ‘what ifs‘ for the rest of the Traitor Legions right?

Vote: for the The Luna Wolves

[christiandauz]

Each Astartes Legion should have a What-If Song!

THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!!!

The true Emperors Children ❤❤❤
My heart is flying

[tareamat]

For me, ‘perfection’ only lasted until the 1:34 mark, but ‘pure perfection’ is something I could listen to all day. If it’s not too much to ask, could there be more What If?

[alexanderkazantzis]

I imagine Guillman vs demon fulgrim round two, and then this starts playing DFulgrim start jamming really getting into it before he Hears “I NEED NO MORE!” In a familiar voice, which is when a force lead by the sons of the phoenix, who themselves are lead by clone Fulgrim, join the battle!
