... he wheel

And carrion feast

Sing we of empire,

For which we bled

Of flickering fire

Now all but dead

Sing we of foe,

Of victories won

And that first woe

Tyranny of the sun

Sing we of ruin,

As again we tread

West, ever pursuing

Fate writ in dread.”

– ‘The Tyranny of the Sun’, a Praesi song written in the latter stages of the Sixty Years War. Banned by decree of Dread Emperor Nihilis.
