Stellar Adepts - Merry Cadian Christmas! (Cadian Shock Troops tribute) | Warhammer 40k Music

Merry Cadian Christmas, dear battle-friends!
The tradition of celebrating Christmas in many Cadian settlements comes from ancient Terra, even before the Dark Age of Technology. It’s celebrated on the longest night of the year - 22nd December in this universe - because from this day, the sunlight begins to grow longer, symbolizing hope and renewal.
Set six months before Abaddon’s 13th Black Crusade, the song reflects a rare moment of peace and unity among the defenders of Cadia.
We pushed ourselves to release it in time for the holidays, so it’s coming out earlier than usual. We hope it brings a touch of warmth to your holiday season, even during the endless struggle.

Song text:
Merry Christmas, battle-friends!
Share your rations, say your prayer
For all we know how quickly ends
The peace in this fade air
But violet snowflakes dance tonight
On empty fortress walls
While distant guns like bells invite
To celebration halls
So lift your voices to the night!
Let carols shatter stars!
Come closer, dear battle-friends
For Christmas won't be last!
Little tree of spent shell-cases
Glitters in the dark
While a guardsman's daughter traces
Every shrapnel mark
"These two scars", her father laughs
"Was from last year's night
When Santa through the hostile files
Brought gifts despite the fight"
Rejoice! Our fate aligns!
Our faith has kept us strong!
Let hope's eternal shine
Fly high with every song!
What gifts will Santa bring tonight
To bunkers cold and calm?
New scopes for guns to aim more right
A letter from our home?
And somewhere past the Terror's Eye
Now Santa's servitors prepare
Mining hope from grief and fury
Wrapping dreams with care
Our light breaks through the dark!
Our songs shake terror's core!
Each soul a burning spark
So darkness rules no more!
Let every heart rejoice and sing
For victory not far
The gift that sacrifice can bring
Our final year of war
