Bastion of the Night (A Helldiver Marshal's Charge)

(Guitar riff) [Verse 1, Sung alone] In this veil of the cosmos, where the silence reigns supreme, A lone Marshal stands his guard, over dreams yet unseen. With a heart forged in battle, and eyes steely and bright, He's the bastion of the darkness, a guardian of night. (Guitar riff) [Pre-Chorus] Whispers born from silent nebulas, sung by tales old as time, In the cadence of stars, he stands, forever by design. Echoing through the void, where celestial paths align, He carries on the will of eons, through each battle line. (Guitar Solo) He carries on the will of eons, through each bat-tle line. (Guitar Solo) [Chorus] For he's the bastion of the night, with resolve cast in steel, A Helldiver's oath, with the power to feel. Through the stardust he marches on, a charge to uphold, With the symphony of ancients, his story unfolds. (Guitar Solo) (Guitar Solo) [Verse 2, solo, crescendo build-up] With each stride of his starship, a new destiny's been forged, Against the black canvas of the void, his fears are forever gorged. In the symphony’s crescendo, he always hears the call, To lead the Helldivers' sacred charge, he will never fall. (Guitar Solo) (Guitar Solo) [Verse 3, baritone solo] Beyond the black horizon, where fates in-ter-twine, His voice, a bari-tone-ic thunder, by honor, he's been de-fined. In the quiet before the storm, his legacy’s been cast, For the Marshal’s burden borne, from the first dive to the last. (Swelling Guitar Solo) [Chorus] For he's the bastion of the night, With resolve cast in steel, A Helldiver's oath, with a power so sur-real. Through the stardust, he marches on, a charge to uphold, With the symphony of ancients, his story un-folds. (Guitar solo) (Slow piano) [Verse 4] Within the shroud of the cosmos, where whispered secrets can be found, He walks the silent bridge, where the stars wrap ar-ound. With a cloak draped in darkness, and a resolve forged from light, He commands the vanguard, a vision in the night. (Guitar solo, ramping up) [Pre-Chorus, Power Ballad Solo] With every order, creates a ripple in the fabric of space, In the expanse of the un-known, he finds his right-ful place. A guardian of the fron-tier, where the void meets the dawn, The Marshal’s silent promise, a will to carry on. (Final Guitar solo) (Guitar solo, ramping up) [Pre-Chorus, Power Ballad Solo] With every order, creates a ripple in the fabric of space, In the expanse of the un-known, he finds his right-ful place. A guardian of the fron-tier, where the void meets the dawn, The Marshal’s silent promise, a will to carry on. (Guitar solo) [Chorus] For he's the bastion of the night, with a resolve cast in steel, A Helldiver's oath, with a power so sur-real. Through the stardust he is marching on, a charge to up-hold, With the symphony of ancients, his story un-folds. (Guitar Solo) [Chorus] For he's the bastion of the night, with a resolve cast in steel, A Helldiver's oath. With a power so sur-real. Through the streams of stardust, he is marching on. With the symphony of ancients, his story's not done. (Guitar Solo) [Verse 5] For he is the Bastion of the Night! Where hope and valor blend! In the eternal ballet of stars, for Super Earth he will de-fend! As he marches ever on forever, through the cosmos true! The Marshal leads on through the fray! Igniting freedom's fires! (Final Guitar Riff) [Verse 5] For he is the Bastion of the Night, where hope and valor blend! In the eternal ballet of stars, for Super Earth, he will de-fend! As he marches ever on, through the cosmos true! The Marshal leads on through the fray, where he's the one fighting for you! (Final Guitar Riff) [Outro, Solo, Slowed] So remember the Bastion, when you gaze up at the stars! The Marshal's charge echoes, both near, and far! In the infinite dance of light and dark! He is the one in whom who we believe! He’s the everlasting sentry. The light we'll forever retrieve! (Final Guitar Solo) (Final Guitar Solo) [Final Guitar Solo, Last, Finale, 20 seconds]
