There are days that carve themselves into the soul, wounds that time will never mend. Sanctuary 101 was meant to be a bastion of faith, a place where our Sisters stood, unyielding, in service to the Emperor. And yet, on that fateful day, ruin descended upon holy ground.
I was not there when the heavens wept for them. I did not stand beside them as Xenos filth defiled our halls, as bolters rang out against an unrelenting tide. I did not fall with them-but I have carried their memory ever since.
"The Day the Heavens Wept" is a hymn for the Sisters who gave their last breath within those shattered walls. It is a promise that their sacrifice will not be forgotten, that their courage will be sung across the stars. The bells of Terra rang in mourning, but we do not mourn as those without faith. Their battle is over, but our war continues.
Their names are written in fire. Their deeds carved into the Imperium’s history. And though their voices have gone silent, this song shall rise in their place.
🔹 To those who stood at Sanctuary 101-your fight is done, but your legacy endures.
🔹 To those who still bear witness-let your prayers rise as incense before the Throne.
🔹 The Emperor calls. The fallen are in His embrace.

Lyrics:
The banners lay tattered, the guns have gone still,
Ash on the wind, cold and shrill.
The voices that prayed, the hands that held steel,
Gone to the void-yet we still feel.
The stars bear witness, the saints still stand,
The Emperor weeps for His faithful hand.
The day the heavens wept with us,
The day the light grew dim
The bells of Terra rang in one,
For souls returned to him
A sister’s vow, a brother’s blade,
Shattered upon the war they waged.
Yet though they fell, they stand so high-
Flames in the dark, stars in the sky.
Rest now, O warriors, your fight is done.
The Emperor calls, the battle is won.
We raise our voices, so you may hear-
You are not lost, you are still near.
The day the heavens wept with us,
The day the light grew dim
Yet in our song, your flame burns on-
Forever bright within
Though stone may crumble, though stars may fade,
Our prayers remain, unbent, unscathed.
Sleep now, O fallen, your watch is through,
The Emperor’s arms now carry you.
