My Life I Give to the
I was nineteen beneath the fortress wall With a borrowed name stitched into my sleeve The chaplain said, “Stand when the sirens call” So I learned what faith would ask of me The deck plates shook, the chapel lamps went red A thousand prayers were folded in the steel I tied your letter underneath my chest And swore the fear would never make me kneel Mother, if the stars forget my face Tell them I was not afraid My life I give to the Emperor My breath, my blood, my final word If death comes down in blackened rain Let it find me standing in His name No crown, no grave, no song to keep Just one more watch before I sleep My life I give to the Emperor And I will not turn back anymore The drop-ship opened over ash and fire The enemy moved like iron through the smoke Beside me, Halden checked his magazine Then laughed at some old barracks joke We crossed the avenue through broken stone Past statues ground to dust beneath our feet I heard a child call out from underground And felt my brothers tighten round the breach No one spoke of making it back home We were never sent alone My life I give to the Emperor My breath, my blood, my final word If death comes down in blackened rain Let it find me standing in His name No crown, no grave, no song to keep Just one more watch before I sleep My life I give to the Emperor And I will not turn back anymore When the bolt struck through my armor I saw dawn across the plain Not the sun above the fortress But a door beyond the pain I heard the brothers calling I could barely lift my hand So I pressed it to the aquila And gave Him what I am My life I give to the Emperor My breath, my blood, my final word Though death has taken all I knew I leave this burning world to you Hold the line, remember me Guard the ones who cannot flee My life I gave to the Emperor And He was with me at the end Quiet now, the guns are far away Quiet now, I did not die in vain Quiet now, beneath the ashen sky For the Emperor, I close my eyes

[Куплет 1] I was nineteen beneath the fortress wall With a borrowed name stitched into my sleeve The chaplain said, “Stand when the sirens call” So I learned what faith would ask of me The deck plates shook, the chapel lamps went red A thousand prayers were folded in the steel I tied your letter underneath my chest And swore the fear would never make me kneel [Предприпев] Mother, if the stars forget my face Tell them I was not afraid [Припев] My life I give to the Emperor My breath, my blood, my final word If death comes down in blackened rain Let it find me standing in His name No crown, no grave, no song to keep Just one more watch before I sleep My life I give to the Emperor And I will not turn back anymore [Куплет 2] The drop-ship opened over ash and fire The enemy moved like iron through the smoke Beside me, Halden checked his magazine Then laughed at some old barracks joke We crossed the avenue through broken stone Past statues ground to dust beneath our feet I heard a child call out from underground And felt my brothers tighten round the breach [Предприпев] No one spoke of making it back home We were never sent alone [Припев] My life I give to the Emperor My breath, my blood, my final word If death comes down in blackened rain Let it find me standing in His name No crown, no grave, no song to keep Just one more watch before I sleep My life I give to the Emperor And I will not turn back anymore [Бридж] When the bolt struck through my armor I saw dawn across the plain Not the sun above the fortress But a door beyond the pain I heard the brothers calling I could barely lift my hand So I pressed it to the aquila And gave Him what I am [Финальный припев] My life I give to the Emperor My breath, my blood, my final word Though death has taken all I knew I leave this burning world to you Hold the line, remember me Guard the ones who cannot flee My life I gave to the Emperor And He was with me at the end [Аутро] Quiet now, the guns are far away Quiet now, I did not die in vain Quiet now, beneath the ashen sky For the Emperor, I close my eyes
