The Blood Must Flow by Lorcan Ward
A Warhammer 40k World Eaters inspired Thrash Metal song

There’s two ways to interpret the POV of this song. The first is with this video which was a later addition. A chaos space marine about to join Abaddon’s Black Legion has visions of what Khorne offers. The second is the POV of Khârn which was what inspired the song’s lyrics. I hadn’t planned to write a Khorne song but it just came to me in a wave of inspiration. I tried to mix lyrics that were slightly comical and serious, portraying someone in the depths of the butcher’s nails but also looking back at the their legion’s history.
Musically I went for thrash metal in the style of Slayer, Pantera, Metallica etc but also heavily influenced by DOOM(the solo draws from E4M1 and outro E3M3). The music is meant to portray the World Eaters charging into battle. If you’ve ever seen the film “Gangs of New York” I was imaging Daniel Day-Lewis as Kharn charging the frontlines.

Lyrics:
Intro:
Blood for the Blood God
Enough, Khorne cares not for words
Empty promises that go unheard
To appease our Lord and earn his favour
Heads need to roll for the blood must flow
Verse 1:
The nails dig deeper and I feel the rush
A surge of anger as I fall to lust
The snarl of teeth as the rage takes hold
Ripping flesh and shredding bone
Chorus 1:
Pile the skulls to mountainous heights
The galaxy trembles at the foot of our might
Verse 2:
Our brothers fell to such pitiful lies
Deluded dreams of decay and pride
We were made for just one thing
Sons of slaughter kill everything
Chorus 2:
Pile the skulls to mountainous heights
The galaxy trembles at the foot of our might
We are not the hounds the corpse lord hath made
For there is only one patron we obey
Verse 3:
Entire worlds we offer up
A tide of blood for his insatiable thirst
No respite, no surrender
Only endless battle for apocalyptic rapture
Outro:
Kill, maim, burn them all
Blood for the Blood God
And skulls for his throne
Butcher, berserker, slay them all
I am wrath incarnate the eater of worlds
On a sea of ichor I now stand alone
For when tribute calls it must be answered
Brother or foe it matters none
Heads will roll for the blood must flow
