And now for something completely different. A Warhammer 40k parody of Battle Hymn of the Republic by Julia Ward Howe/William Steffe. Made mostly for my own entertainment so hopefully you lot like it too. The inspiration came from watching Full Metal Jacket. At the end of the film there is the iconic scene with the soldiers singing the Mickey Mouse song and I thought what would Space Marines sing in this position.

♫ *Lyrics* ♫
Verse 1:
My brothers stand beside me
As we set our bolters loose
To spill the blood of xenos filth
And all the heretics too
We’re cleansing out the galaxy
One system at a time
The Imperium marches on

Chorus:
For the glory of the Emperor
For the glory of the Emperor
For the glory of the Emperor
The Imperium marches on

Verse 2:
From Cadia to Ultramar
We sail across the stars
Stomping out the greenskin scum
And kicking Eldar arse
On every bloody battlefield
Our armies will prevail
The Imperium marches on

Verse 3:
The Tyranids came clawing
And were met with open arms
With chainswords and battle blades
To plunge into their hordes
We’ll declare exterminatus
Wiping out your race
The Imperium marches on

Verse 4:
The warp may lay before me
But my soul is pure and true
The traitors turned to chaos
Will feel our order's noose
If the powers think to tempt me
Then faith will be my guide
The Imperium marches on
