A song about our big blue boy, ranting his heart out about the current state of the imperium after waking up from his eons long nap! The song takes place during the time he visited his father in the golden throne and is pretty much a conversation between the two.
Special thanks to Ethan Song for writing the lyrics for this song!

Ethan Song I agree
You make great vocals Ethan Song!
Gotta love those smurfs
Damn son! These are some powerful lyrics!
Do I hear E1M1 in the background?
"Why do I still live? What more do you want from me? I gave everything I had to you, to them. Look what they have made of our dream. This bloated, rotten carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope, but by fear, hate and ignorance. Better that we had all burned in the fire of Horus' ambition than lived to see this."
- Roboute Guilliman
I cannot be the only one who read that quote to the song's beat.
What book is that from?
@@jonathanswavely7259 its either from the Dark Imperium = which can be bought or the Gathering Storm III RIse of the primarch which is no longer aviable
Because we still need you and you are the only one left who can save us.
@midgetydeath The echlesiarchy runs the Imperial Cult. It is a state enforced religion. ANY state enforced ideology belongs to a tyrannical state which will punish ALL who deviate.
Also, the fact you think less exterminatus happens under the Inquisition than with Ol'Empy is laughable. I'm a Space Wolves player, so I reccomend reading about the Months of Shame.
tl;dr Space Wolves had to fight a war against the Inquisition because they would not allow Innocents to be genocided.
I love how Guilliman went from sadness and despair,to anger and outrage ,and finally to stalwart determination.
He sees the faces of those around him and how each has two words written on them.
"Save us"
And most importantly depressed.

Don't get me wrong. You. Made. Me...
*Stops in mid sentence*
*Clearing throat*
Oh look at that. Weird that it started rain. Inside my living room.
Robbie just needed a chance to vent.
When Guilliman "died" it was kinda sad he thought of his brothers Russ and Kan and watched his sons sacrifice them selves to get him out. And his last thought was "father save me" I love the ultramarines no matter how much the get memed on.
So the last thing he saw was Calegar firing on the eldar or he was one on one with Fulgrim and his sons were battling to get to him?
@@emersonmcnerney7695 the fulgrim one, its explained in dark imperium i believe right around the beginning
@@TheIroncladResearcher Okay.
They are one of the coolest memes tho
they're not inherently bad, but they're overused, and Games workshop puts them on such a high pedestal.
This song feels like Guilliman speaking to the emperor, who now can’t really sugarcoat everything due to him giving his humanity away, so it’s just a cruel exchange of words between a dying father and a heartbroken and tired son
Couldn't put it better my self.
Ten thousand years of endless nightmares could not have prepared Guilliman for the waking horror that awaited him.
Guilliman: _wakes up_
Guilliman: *whatintheunholyfuckerydidyoudo*
Guilliman: *wakes up and sees the current state of the Imperium*
Guilliman: *loads boltgun* this mess will not clean itself up
Ten thousand years of slumber could not prepare him for Cato Sicarius
@@piekielneciastko5250 Honestly, nothing could have prepared him for THAT.
And yet ten thousand years could never prepare the nightmares for what Guiliman would bring.
Guilliman read the Lectitio Divinitatus and was so angry at the bad prose, rhymes and psalms that he decided to turn to rap to show Lorgar how to do it better.
Lukmaster he roasted him once he can do it again
BobbyG vs Lil Urizen
Ohoho Guilliman was there while the emperor was chastising Lorgar for this. He is probably more pissed about this than any other primarch would be.
I just want the Primarchs to have a Loyalist vs. Traitor Rap Battle now.
@@yeetmcscoodle4337 Lorgar with Precognition is actually stronger than Guilliman.
From the primarch naieve enough to believe one day he could put down the sword for the pen, see his own sons become leaders and governors to steer humanity rightly. To a resolute but agrieved soul that must do the reverse. Take up the sword and scrape back the pieces together again. Ave Guiliman, Avenging Son Of Mankind! The stars themselves are our birthright!
Plowshares to swords.
The fact that him and Perty where basiclly the only people who wished for peace so they could be used for forces of art and instead became the biggest forces of war as kind of sad
@@velphidrow8317 Not the only ones. Sanguinius and Fulgrim were also wishing for peace, so that their sons would become artists and guides (Chemos was a planet full of extremely skilled artisans), although Sanguinius also wished for it to first cure his legion of the gene-taint. Ferrus wanted the peace, so that he could finally stop having the excuse for not removing the living metal from his hands and reaffirm his own strength, as well as getting rid of this whole "flesh is weak" among his legion. Magnus wanted peace to study the Warp, Corvus and Khan wanted it to allow for expanding freedoms of Imperium's subjects, who were forced to sacrifice it during wartime, Lorgar pre-Monarchia wanted it to focus on perfecting his Imperial Cult, etc.
The only ones even remotely against peacetime would be Angron, though to be fair the Butcher's Nail is more to blame here and Curze - who would be forced to realise what a PoS he actually is.
@@ZeroCanalX don't forget rogal, who wanted to no longer have to build fortresses, but instead build cities.
There’s also perterabo who wanted to build technological marvels instead of machines of war.
Magnus wanted to study the warp and learn of all of the secrets it held, instead he was forced to fight and destroy the knowledge he sought.
It's not naivety, it's reality. This is what Custodes has become because their creation has too many bottlenecks. Same goes for Astartes. Horus was right in assuming they would become obsolete, but his mistake was comparing his sons to Thunder Warriors instead of Custodes.
Space Marines never numbered more then 2 million in the whole galaxy, always fluctuating between 1 and 2. That was true during both Great Crusade and afterwards. Neither existence of more Primarchs in the past, nor forbidden tech and Chaos support, nor even Cawl were able to push that number up. And that means that you end up with only 1 Astartes per 1 Imperial world. On paper. In reality with how they can't be produced outside a small selection of places and how unreliable and slow FTL is in 40k, Space Marine barely exist in grand scheme of things. Their impact is far lower then most people think and just like other imperial forces heavily reliant on capabilities of imperial navy.
So yes, they would make great administrators and bureacrats due to their enhanced intelligence, perception and lifespan. But war in 40k needs supersoldiers, who can be produced(and more importantly transported) in tens trillions rapidly anywhere, not in hundred thousands once a century. And that means
either widespread adoption of genetic and cybernetic enhancement by PDF forces akin to Alliance soldiers of Mass Effect and Spartan IV program of Halo
*OR* return to _soldiers made of steel..._
The weight of the galaxy can crush any man. Even a Primarch
Much like his body even the Emperor crumbled.
Silent Blade not our Papa Smurf, Rogal reinforced his spine in his sleep
@@user-rr6jj5mr6f
If. Only.
It's that kind of pressure that brings out the humanity in someone too
@Cian Abroad think thats why the emperor made 20 primarchs. Lift the pressure from just him
imagine waking up several centuries from now and learning every hope and dream you've ever had in the far future has not only been shattered, but replaced by a nightmarish parody of all you stood for. all your loved ones are either long dead or have disappeared from the annals of history, and you will never have the opportunity to embark on a mission to discover their fates because the moment you leave your place of slumber, some trillions of souls are at your feet begging you for your guidance and leadership; the same people, as far as you can see, who are partially responsible for things being as awful as they are. this is Guilliman's fate.
he may not like the disparate peoples of the Imperium, or even be capable of truly appreciating them, but they did not resign to despair when he took his looong grandpa nap. they kept going, picking up the fewer and fewer pieces of their once whole and glorious Imperium, and if a bunch of normies can go on after all the 40K-type suffering they've endured, then so can Guilliman
It is a good thing Guilliman pulled himself together and launched the Indomitus Crusade to reclaim the galaxy for humanity and fix the Imperium as painstakingly as possible.
Hopefully the surviving Loyalist Primarchs will come back and help Guilliman lighten the burden of leading the Imperium in its darkest hour.
Ээ
Roboute now HATES the Emperor, and HATES the Imperium. But the single tiny chance he was given to give both salvation is all that the Lord of Honor needs to fight in their name.
The most terrifying yet wondrous part of the human condition is our ability to psychologically adapt our environment.
Mankind in 40k hasn't endured the 10k years of suffering‚ for them the suffering is their lives‚ hence the disparate reactions between someone like Guilliman and say‚ a Guardsman from Armageddon.
He did end up with a Big Tiddy Eldar GF so its not all bad. (Only time will tell if/when she backstabs him/The Imperium)
"Show me any insight, justify our fate,
Tell me that our lives have not been lived in vain.
I command attention, I demand that you explain!
I'm begging you, make sense of what has been ordained!"
I don't think I can imagine a more haunting and desperate plea for answers. It actually made me feel sorry for Guilliman, and that is no easy feat. Well done!
And the Emperor gave them, he did not like the answers he got. At the same time, that result is what the Emperor wanted. He hates being worshipped, he hates what His Imperium has become, but he will stand for Humanity, he will protect it. But to get things back to going where he wanted, he needed to tell the one loyal son who has made it back, and in a way so that his son won't fight for Him. But for Humanity.
@@jgkitarel I like to imagine the last words the Emperor said to Guilliman as he took up his father's sword:
"Remember, my son. Only in death does your duty end. Not to me, but to humanity, to their future, and to our ideals."
Daaaaaaaaaamn
THE OVERWHELMING WEIGHT OF THE IMPERIUM UPON ME!"
ngl that line chilled me
Love how Guilliman goes from uncertain and somber, to outraged and disgusted, to horrified and despairing, before finally pulling himself back together to take on a seemingly impossible task with *D E T E R M I N A T I O N* no one short of another Primarch could match.
Undertale référence?
@@daniellewin5274 Nope, never played it in my life.
My guy, noone short of a primarch? Look at the average joe shmoe's the imperium is composed of during and after the horus heresy.
Their shining golden beacons of peace, prosperity and guidance that were the emperor and his sons just dragged themselves through the mud, several dying in the process, most of them deciding to turn their backs on humanity and join chaos, most of the remainder being so blinded by regret or anger that they set out on frankly impossible quests to either revive big E or drag the chaos primarchs to justice.
Basically only Guilleman still being focused on the imperium until he got KO'd for close to 10 millenia. And what did the average shmoe's of the imperium do? Chug on best they could, shuffling blind through the dark that the absence of guidance left them in. If that isnt determination I dont know what is.
5 stages of grief speedrun
Adeptus Notificatorium did the great job
Indeed they did a great job for once.
Piekielne Ciastko Sorry I'm late, I got caught up in the Warp. Hey, where is everybody?
Guilliman just launched the biggest "IT IS WHAT IT IS" and kept fighting
I love how you follow big G:s thoughts in this song, Going from his revulsion at the imperiums state > his rage directed at his father > desperate pleading for answers and justification > his will steeled to guide the imperium
Guilliman had a lot of chips on his shoulder
Timoy Lumontad basically what I understand, “I’m fixing this thing, but not for you father. Never for you father.”
@@connormclernon26 In a nutshell, yes
He asked Father for insight, and as he got none, he realised that silence was all he needed.
Stages of grief
Guilliman has faced the scariest truth for all the Primarchs: They can be more than the Emperor's tools, or the Dark Gods' puppets, and can make their own choices and destiny!
I don't think that it's the scariest truth, in fact they probably thought that they were truly the son of the Emperor during the Great Crusade, and that they would all have big roles and choices to do.
The scariest truth he is facing, is probably the cause of the state of the Imperium, wich is, not only the Horus Heresy, but his father misteps. And to discover that he never had a father. but just a being that consider him as a tool.
@@veronsoel5412 The scariest thing was him seeing, even as he has become something else, just how flawed, how human, the Emperor really is. Because if the Primarchs are larger than life to their Astartes, so too is the Emperor to them.
@@veronsoel5412 Unlike alot of the Primarchs, Roboute had a real father (although a foster father)in Konor Guilliman.
He was fortunate in that atleast. Perhaps Angron would've turned out better had he not been sabotaged and ruined and instead had had a caring father.
Him and Angron are the only ones to see themselves as something beyond tools or slaves of another. Sadly Angron would fall to Khorne and lose sight of what he once saw before the nails
@@nilsingvar7319 And a foster mother that was not afraid to raise her demi-god child right. Which resulted in Guillimans supreme Super Power amongst the Primarchs: COMMON SENSE
If TTS ever adds GrandPa Smurf, i want this playing in its background while he smack talks the Emperor.
Honestly, I think the canon story continuation is now far better than TTS
@@pallandoromestamo8861 TTS is the parody that actually makes sense
@@pallandoromestamo8861 I mean everything in the gathering storm is falling into place eldad going to resurrect ynnred etc however magnus the red , corvus corax, jagitai khan, leman russ , royal dorn , kaldor drago and vulcan being back and on the side of the imperium and the emperor able to communicate will change alot and there will certainly be less casualties not to mention the star child has taken a vessel and will lead the imperium alongside gilliman and everything will go FAR FAR smoother and once the star child the embodiment of the emperors compassion heals the retaliationship between magnus and lerman there will be 8 of the orginal 20 primarcs on the side of the imperium alongside the star child and the emperor on the golden throne
But what Guilliman has done in Dark Imperium helped the Imperium far more than anything happening in TTS. He's creating new technology, starting a huge crusade to fight chaos, restoring the documentation of history, even reforming the ecclesiarchy
@@pallandoromestamo8861 But, TTS literally has the Emperor back
Stringstorm: People liked Atrocity so I’m going to make a song like it.
Stringstorm like a day later: *releases another awesome song*
Atrocity is amazing and actually got me reading about the Isstvan III and the Drop Site Massacre. Any song that gets you reading about a certain event given how awesome the song itself is is such a good song.
JerriK Sundberg Just ask Sabaton.
I've listened to this song... Uh... Quite a few times. And you you know what really stands out to me?
*"The overwhelming weight of the Imperium upon me"*
Overwhelming? The mere notion that a Primarch, a SON of the Emperor could be *overwhelmed* by anything would be HERESY in modern Imperial dogma, but that's what makes Guilliman so *human* in this verse. That is what makes me, a **proud** son of the Lion bow my head in respect, and feel no shame for it. I ask you, how could it be otherwise?
Should I be loyal
(This is rhetorical I'm just gonna be a legiones astartes from the dark angels)

"ANSWER ME!" Shouted Guilliman alerting the Custodes who began to rush towards the gate to restrain him. "WHY DO YOU STILL FIGHT?"
As the guards closed in around him, a piercing light stopped them all dead in their tracks and Roboute Guilliman, lord of Ultramar, received the answer he craved for. Six words were burnt into every fiber of his being. Six words that formed a phrase so trivial, so insignificant, yet it had ensured humanity’s continued existence for ten thousand years amongst an uncaring cosmos.
The words had borne witness to Ferrus charging the traitors on Isstavan and had compelled Sanguinius to face Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit. They had seen the lowliest guardsman hold the line against unsurmountable odds and were a lesson that Space Marines taught themselves over and over. They were a grim reminder for each man, woman and child of the Imperium of what what was required of them. Fitting then, that the Master of Mankind spoke the same words he expected humanity to live by.

John Erlwanger oh well, guess chaos lost then

This song amazingly sums up the mental state of Gulliman in current Imperium: searching for meaning of their original Crusade and justification of Emperors plans and secrets, desparing over the current state of humanity, but also determined to do all he is able to in order to hold the broken Imperium together and reforge it into something both functional and actually worth fighting for. A second Ultramar, but stretched over all that's still left of mankind.
And he might be actually the leader Imperium needed. Not, say, the courage of Leman Russ, strategic brilliance of Lion El'Jonson, not unyielding determination of Dorn nor even the kindness of Vulcan. Imperium needs planist, organizer and statesman devoted to mankind more than his own gains and with enough leverage and capabilities to sort out the overgrown administrational mess that is Imperium. Gulliman is exactly that.
Also I love how depressed, angry, tired of all this bulls*it but still determined the vocal souds.
He is the hero the Imperium needs and while we wait for the Wolf King to return for the Wolf Time we shall fight and die in the name of the Allfather
@@Wolfguard_cosplay It has never been our place to lead. Always we have known our duty.
For every Legion he created, there was a purpose. Some were blessed with the power to build, or the skill to administer, or the capacity for stealth. Our gift was different. We were made to destroy. Our whole being is destruction. Such was the will of the Allfather. He made us not to construct empires, but to murder them. We were bred to perform the tasks that no other Legion could, to fight with such extravagance that even our brother warriors would shrink from treachery in the knowledge of what we, the Rout, would do to them.
So long as he remains true to the Imperium than any man will find allies amongst the wolves of Fenris

Skol brother!
I just love the line "The OVERWHELMING weight of the Imperium upon me" I get this feeling like Granpa S, is taking it as his cross to bear and as a curse, yet welcoming it. Big E could be proud sonny.
In darkness of M41.... There is a hope?! *confused Gasmask noices*
not hope but unwavering determination
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
@@elijahmanaghaya6038 I swear I heard this from somewhere.....
There has always been hope. Not hope in the conventional sense, but it is there. In every child that sees the Astartes marching, in every Guardsman that cleans his lasgun, in every human that lives to see another day, there is hope. It is the hope that there will be a tomorrow. And as long as there is a tomorrow, that hope will never vanish.
"I'm as let down as a Kreigsman on a garden world" ~a piece of shit
The Ultramarines are hated, criticized due to their plot armour, but those who had been criticizing them and their primarch Guilliman never acknowlegded that The Primarch woke up into a nightmare not even the Primarchs are prepared for. He woke up to see that the Imperium, the empire HE and his brother's helped build become this twisted, bloated, nightmarish version of it's former self. But that's not all, nearly trillions of people immediatelt knelt downl seeing him as their new leader, and upon meeting the Emperor for the first time in millenia after his slumber, he realised he and his brothers are only created as a tool.....a tool for conquest, a tool....for war. You'd think he'd gave up that day, you'd think Guilliman will not handle this heavy burden in his shoulders.....but he did it anyways. Not because of his genrtic loyalty, but his willingness to do what he can to reshape the Imperium back to it's former glory. People criticized the Ultramarines and Guilliman, but they cant deny that.....He, Guilliman had a very heavy burden on his shoulders the moment he woke up after being gravely wounded by Dæmon Prince Fulgrim. None can deny that despite how much this budden had been thrust upon him so quickly upon his return, he still wishes to do what he can to ensure the Human Race can still be saved.....
Doesn't mean the criticism of the ultramarines is unwarranted.
What Ward has done to them - and the other chapters by extension is frankly insulting to the fanbase.
"What all other chapters aspire to be"
Fuck that shit.
@@TheIfifi
Frankly, I had to agree tho
@Yeast Yeast I get that it's showing signs of improvement, especially since Ward left.
But as you say, it's a stain for now, will probably be a stain forever.
It's not like the criticism on them is invalid. It's harsh but fair.
Don't get me wrong, It's not the ultramarines, or ultramarine's players fault. It's entirely on the writers.
Personally I just have my own fannon lore where the Ultramarines still shine in their old role of "combined arms" coordinating with other chapters.
Rather than simply excelling at everything just because they're great..
I reckon thats what being raised by a good family will do.
Not the emperor, his mum and dad on ultramar, over ten thousand years dead.
Why didn’t the adeptus custodies stop them from worshipping the emperor as a god
Difference between the loyal and traitor Primarchs:
Traitor Primarch: Father only saw us as tools and used us!!!
Loyal Primarch: Yes... So?
Loyal Primarch: "We still have a job to do!"
Loyal Primarch: Better being his tools than to be slaves to monsters who call themselves gods.
Loyal Primarch: So your response was ruining everything forever?
But that can be played against tge loyalists then. The traitors reactions? More human, more understandable.
@@KiraDidNoWrong8274 is it really more human to destory humanity itself just because of some daddy issues? It's one thing to betray the emperor. Its another to betray him with chaos.

Funny how unironically this song inspired me to accept failure and deal with my problem.
Context:
I was about to delete a long time account and restart a new because i done something that pretty much make me want to throw it away, but when this song play amid of that Roboute words hit me like the account I about to delete is speaking to me. I literally cry. And that is not a joke.
only in death do old accounts end!
The Time of Ending may have come but Humanity shall not die softly, shall not leave the stage with a small bow.
If it is truly the death knell for the Imperium, then let mankind shut the door behind them with such force that the entire galaxy can look upon the exit with awe.
Or if Imperium falls and the galaxy beaks let, Humanity lives as we get the last laugh after who else is that spiteful?
From where is that quote? It really sounds familiar.
Roboute: My father used me and my brothers as tools and after my death the Imperium has become something bloated, horrifying, and shitty.

Thank you for another masterpiece, StringStorm!
To Guilliman’s credit, so far as I know he doesn’t blame the Imperium for its nature but accepts that the people who built it are responsible. Especially when one considers that if you replace “Imperial Creed” with “Imperial Truth” and Ecclesiarchy with Iterator Order the only difference between 30K and 40K is technology.
not even that. the tech in the 40k is about the same as the one in 30k.
Papa Smurf: "We must break up the legions and limit the size of Astartes formations."
Papa Smurf after his nap: "Yeah, so this is my legion."
The thing he immediately began fragmenting?
Wow, you did amazing job showing stages of Guilliman’s mind: confusion, anger, disparity and then «Fuck it, I’m gonna fix this mess you left to me, “Father”!»
This feels like the kind of song that plays when the heros have almost lost but the tide is about to turn.
Thank you! A nice breath of Grimdark before Idol Month
I can imagine the loyal Primarchs actualy looking down at the Imperium with anger, disapointment, dispair and sadnes. The Empire their father made is practicaly gone, just a shadow of its self at best. Them trying to salvage their father's broken empire with hopping they could reshape it to what could be deemed accaptable by the Emperor. I can imagine the traitor Primarchs that still care for their father would simply wish to tair down the Imperium simply to get rid of the mocherey that is the modern Imperium and to end that madness that would make their father's head spin off like a bowling ball and finnaly put him to rest from his long service to the human race. Honor and Glory to you, Emperor of Mankind, the gratest scholar, gratest master of war, unifier of mankind and the emperor the human race was never worthy to have as their savior and master. Glory and honor to you, my Emperor!
Never worthy? I honestly love humanity and everything they created, thus I still live between walls made by human hands, living a human life and that kind of stuff, but I hate some humans as individuals because of that kind of thing: they always act with such sense of inferiority towards their own species... believing on something bigger than them, maybe just excuses to make their lifes easier, put so much faith on that thing just to forget to put some faith on yourself, put so much faith on it and forget about putting faith on the ones you rely on, put so much faith on it and forget about putting faith on humanity itself, then judge them like you're no part of them, point all their flaws and forget what they achieved, or rather say that everything they have now is thanks to a single one entity, keep on thanking said entity ignoring all the efforts people made to reach such goal... humans who show disregard for humanity... they fill my lungs with hatred.
And done... I feel better about myself, I'm out to play something... a chilly FPS sounds good for now...
Desire how much we hate Papa smurf you gotta admit he has a lot to carry on his shoulders.
Even the Primarchs are mere men at their Core.
Denying that is what led to the horus heresy
Bro, why you speaking in third person?
Something incredible about a Primarch begging his father to help him understand the nightmare he had awoken too.
I know people dislike guilliman and the Ultra-Marines, but he really just wants to Improve everything, and sometimes you need to burn things down first.
Edit: Wow 250 likes and a lot of comments, most certainly didn't see that coming.
Gulliman is pretty awesome, anyone who says that probably hasn't read Dark Imperium or Plague Wars. He actually gets shit done.
Snguinus>Lionell>Leman Russ>Corvus>Guilman. Yes, I'm wierd...
I dont hate the Ultramarines or Big G, I just hate how they are written...
Really what I dislike isn't guilliman himself, but rather what they're doing with the setting. I don't like how they're making the setting about a small group of characters leading factions. I would prefer if they advanced the setting through the eyes of loads of different perspectives of random people as the conflict happens. The setting feels smaller with someone being the ruler of the imperium, and having him trying to Make The Imperium Great Again kind of misses the point IMO.
Everyone who hates them after Know No Fear, Unremembered Empire, Dark Imperium and Plague Wars is just stuck Way in the past.
Just finished Plague Wars. I actually love Big Bobby G's character development in this series. He is becoming one of my favorites. Also I can totally get behind Guilliman releasing a diss track on Big E.
Microzombie Lets spam Alfabusa for that.
EPIC RAP BAPPUHS UH HIDTORYYYY
I petition that the TTS Guilliman speak in rap. Cause damn he's spitting fire hotter than Vulkan.
Jesse GD rap battle the Emperor and call him out for being a misleading dick
@@edgelordmcmemington810
I second this
Guilliman is becoming one of my favorite Primarchs.
Ironic, considering I am a Word Bearer loyal to Lorgar. But then again, Lorgar and Gulliman were always two sides of the same coin...
Monarchia is what split their friendship apart.
@@timoylumontad3920 They weren't friends before, even though they shared a lot of ideals, they just did not interact enough. Funnily enough, Guilliman thought he could build a friendship with Lorgar, even after Monarchia, but did not try to act until Calth, when it was too late. However, when Lorgar faced him on Nuceria, he realized the same thing. Alas, it was far too late.
@@BW-CZ Guilliman really screwed up.
@@timoylumontad3920 Well he wasted his chance to be friends, but because of what the Emperor did on Monarchia Lorgar would turn traitor all the same.
@@BW-CZ Even if Roboute did not try make amends too late, Lorgar would still fall to Chaos after Big E rebuked him and the Word Bearers for worshipping.
this sound like somethign a boxing champ would use for his engtrance.
then you remember girlyman did boxed chaos marines in space.
the champ is back.
Literaly boxed a fools head into his chest.
Never again will creeping shadows darken our doors, never again will chaos loom while we go conquer the stars... this rocks!
Always knew Guilliman will be the best waifu of Idol Month.
By the Throne, you can practically hear Guilliman's anger and frustration in these lyrics and presentation. Well done. Very well done indeed.
Inquisition/Ecclesiarch: The Emperor is the true God of man, burn anyone that says otherwise!

Yes
There actually is a way out of the theological death spiral that no only keep the faith, but reinforces it.

This song is one of my favorites. It helped me through a rough time. I was enduring great pain, pain that made me question why I got up in the morning. But if Gulliman can endure the overwhelming weight of the Imperium upon his body, mind, and soul, so can I endure and strive to better my life. Ave Imperator, may Robute Gulliman reforge the fragmented scraps of mankind with his brother, the Lion.
Gotta have respect for a man, who, even after seeing what he fought and almost died for become something he hates, and lash out against it, he gathers his composure and tries to right what went wrong, for the sake of his species, if nothing else.
The Lion: ..”I am not alone…”
"In our naivety mistook your brilliance for warmth"
D A M N
Gotta love when Guilliman gets pissed. GW literally gave him nerd rage as a defining character trait.
Don’t worry guilliman you got lion with you now
The books will have to cover him going around slapping his emo introvert brothers that are alive and loyal around and getting them back into the action. I got to say this new spin on Guilliman really fits the Avenging Son title.
Incredible Humanistics
Portraying The Epic Scale of This Calamity
Beautiful Emotion

I love this song, it is a fantastic look at the realisations Big Blue has made in the current fluff and shows just how out of touch Big E really was.
All while still showing that even with realising what he truly meant to Big E, Roboute will still power forward for humanity.
axiosriot we need Alfabusa to make an Emperor v. Guilliman rap battle themed on this, calling out the Emperor for hypocrisy.
@@edgelordmcmemington810 _"You have sat here silent and guiding, your ways are inconceivable_
_While we, your children, chased a goal that wasn’t achievable._
_In our naivety, mistook your brilliance for warmth
,_
_Confused by your blinding light, thought of ourselves as your sons!_
_Now everything I’ve sacrificed for you have called into doubt,_
_How could I trust your guidance amidst the secrets you keep out?_
_And I know now you will let me live any lie that I need to
,_
_As long as I cover the needs you have deemed that I see to."_
I've seen some people already mentioning this but I'll give it voice anyway: The feel you give us, the cadence of his voice and the choice of words in every part IS.JUST.BRILLIANT. First comes the confusion and desire to know the answers with the hope of guidance. Then the bitterness and anger. And at the end awakening and some measure of acceptance at last.
For the Imperium, we fight. The Emperor no longer protects... but we will fight for His salvation and the salvation of Mankind nonetheless.
Good sir, the correct words you need right here are "It will be my honor to protect and serve the homeworld and all her colonies."
For the Federation I will give my life!
The notes at 2:13 before Roboute speaks again captures all of the hope and fall of the Imperium. I know this comment is one of thousands. But I want this channel to know that the music is stellar and inspiring.
Luv me Dark Angels
Luv me Blood Angels
Luv me Salamanders
Luv me Black Templars
'Ate World Eater
'Ate Emperor's Children
'Ate Black Legion
'Ate Death Guard
Ultramarines still me favorite
Simple as
I like pre heresy and post heresy loyalist emperors children heretics are just bad compared to what they fell from, all chaos legions but the emperors children are a shadow of their previous selves but the emperors children aren’t even a shard of their lost glory

Since I found this song I can not help me.
Every then and now its playing on repeat until my ears are bleeding just to return in my playlist 1-2 months later.

Thank you for yet again a great song ❤
He woke up 10,000 years later, and the imperium didn't have the decency to give him a cup of coffee.
Mortarion: "Foul Guiliman, you could never rap-
"Local primarch who thought hed lost all hope loses hope he dindt even know he had"
Roboute really spittin
Truly, Stringstorm, you are the greatest of them all
Comissar: "The EMPEROR FORGIVES THE SINFUL!" *Looks at the guardsman* "DO YOU?!"
Guardsman: *Fixes bayonets* "THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!"
Thank whatever Gods (except Chaos) that Guilliman is a good man that values peace and prosperity, because he is realizing exactly the same as the Traitor Primarchs did. Except they were told lies to get to that point, or were just straight up terrible people. The main difference here is that unlike the Traitors, Guilliman has the strongest power of them all; Common sense.
He is the reason I love the Ultramarines more than any other legion. There are better fighters than Guilliman. There are better tacticians. But there are none who can match him in a battle of wills. Not a one. No Traitor. No Loyalist. None. He is not led blindly into anything, he is purely doing it out of his own sense of order and structure. He can hold his rage and fury in check and avoid petty vendettas. He cannot be goaded into doing something he would otherwise not with a sound mind. While other Loyalist Primarchs have left their "children", Guilliman remained. I can only hope the Lion wakes soon and joins his brother.
I dont agree with you. Maybe some of his brothers were better tacticans, but he was superior in case of strategy, managing few warzones at once. About common sense, Jaghatai Khan have the most common sense out of them all. What I love about Guilliman is his willpower, under all overwhelming odds, he is still standing, bending a little under pressure, but never break.
More! Please MORE! I want a song for each of the emperor's son, each one with their burning emotion and suffering as this was so perfect for guilliman
I felt the underlying anger and despair in the lines.
"Tell me that our lives have not been lived in vain."
"I command your attention."
"I demand that you explain."
This is a man who tried to do things by the book, slowly and carefully. And yet in his absence the people of the Imperium have tortured, misconstrued and molested his ideals of a unified humanity. This is it for him. He is afraid of not getting his answers, cause right now he is truly lost.
AS AN ULTRAMARINE FAN:
WITH COURAGE AND HONOUR YOU HAVE MADE A SONG THAT FITS PERFECTLY TO THE ALREADY PERFECTION STANDARDS OF THE ULTRAMARINES. FOR ULTRAMAR
WELL SIAD, BROTHER! MAY SPIRITUAL LIEGE BE WITH YOU! COURAGE AND HONOR!
Guardsman: you guys are the worst
Yeah, yeah, we all like Gulliman cool your jets!
I imagine a non lyrical version of this theme play at Guiliman's speach on Raukos. The dark imperium trilogy would make fantastic movies
I was there, ten thousand years ago, I was there. You must understand Primarch, time is a fickle thing in the warp, it may sway and heave at the desire of neither gods or men. Though I am but a mortal, barely a fledgling psyker compared to Him, I was flung back ten thousand years to see His will incarnate. The place was that of space and land and time, manifested upon a singular plane. Unlike the Astronomicon it contained no taint of the warp, it was the technological boon of millions of years. This place was the Webway, the gate to Human domination in our galaxy. Everything dedicated by Him to this Webway, was for the absolute benefit of our race. It was there that I was taken, not to partake, but to witness the levity of His will. Countless hordes of Chaos had amassed, broken into, but unable to destroy the Webway. Chaos not as you knew it, not with separate champions or warbands, but true Chaos Undivided. Slaanesh, Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, all of them conjoined to destroy Him. But their hordes were for naught, their power for naught, their strength for naught. Long had passed the time of the Unification Wars, even the Great Crusade was coming to its end, He was at the height of His power. Beyond that, His Legion stood absolute, beyond graspable power. Perfect in everyway, the Custodes marched to war, for the first time ever. The hordes had amassed, bloodthirsty, lusting, deceiving, undying, but with the first stamp forward of the first Custodes of His legion, they all reared back in fear. Their number was but a paltry few compared to the armies you have seen, but they tore across every demons hide like the most holy of war relics. The war raged, but no ground by the forces of Chaos was gained, their entire strength had been unleashed here but nothing had changed. For every Custodes that fell, a hundred demons lay flayed. And when His forces began to lose traction, Primarch, He appeared! His presence sent the most powerful manifestations of evil shrinking back in terror, every swing of His sword relayed the embodied allegiance of humanity, Chaos forces forever destroyed in His wake. To bolster the Custodes, He had brought a new weapon, the Sisters of Silence, they weaved between the lines and cutdown demons with unwarranted ferocity. There was no such thing as rest here, no idea of respite, this was war made manifest. My eyes were blind then, I had seen nothing of this battle, but my soul was open, and the greatest power in the universe was present to show me the truth of reality. But nothing compared to my last few seconds in that time, in that place, before I was snatched back to my own era. When I heard His voice, to this day the words reverberate through me, embolden me, empower me. I was showed the Imperial Truth in all its magnificence. The words He said, they showed me why I was there. "I AM NO SAVIOUR, I AM THE BRINGER OF DEATH. I AM THE SWORD." (The words spoken by the man were bound with power, enough to shake the Primarch to his core, they were not the man's words) You see now, see why my loyalty is unwavering, because there are no gods. There is only Him, all else is lesser. He is but a man, a man that sends so called gods scurrying into the night. He is the sword and shield that protects humanity from the darkness, He is the Emperor of Mankind.
Some serious lyrical genius going on here. Powerful stuff.
Your a sabaton fan? Nice and I also saw john Burke. Your cool with me. 🇺🇸
i feel weird, being the guy who got into warhammer with 8th edition and thinking of guilleman as a unironically cool character and seeing all the "unplug his life support" jokes
It's a reference to if the empore had a text to speach device and warhammer 40k Web show here on you tube and its amazing and what got me interested in warhammer
Horus Heresy Guilliman is pretty boring, whose number 1 trait is being essentially perfect. Modern 40k Guilliman is a cool character.
@@Shaderaygun except in the heresy he really isn't perfect
@@the_dropbear4392 This, the BS that Guilliman was perfect has to stop. FFS most memers are dumb as rocks and pick and choose their lore.
@@infantrytactics1233 wait so we are like modern journalists
While I might be *slightly* biased because of my favorite chapter, this is one of the best songs you've done yet.
Why is it your favorite tho?
@@Acidic-ue2ml Not the other guy and they aren't my favourite, but I do like the Ultramarines. For one, they aren't all raging psychopaths...
Imagining Guilliman rapping this in front of the Emperor in the throne room while holding a mic that's too small for him is kinda funny
I get the dislike for Roboute but honestly the dude is trying to do a job that 20 primarchs were meant to. He has my utmost respect for doing what he needs to do.
Guilliman final words to Yvraine before departing for the Indominatus Crusade:
"Fancy a Shag?"
Ultramarine: ,, I hate you!"
Eldar: ,, I hate you even more!"
Ultramarine:,, Good luck, xenos"
Guiliman a mile away: ,, ……….Boys, behave!"
As much as I hate that joke lunar wolf, I respect it
"We'll bang, ok?"
I hope that Perturabo comes next. He has the best rants, and is an artist at heart.
Emmett C some call him petulant man-child...
Others would call him a visionary.
@@edgelordmcmemington810 Who says he can't be both?
Im sure that no matter where Guilliman's mom is now, she is very proud of her son and believes he can handle the absolute mess he is in now.
His mom is a very proud tube.
@@Significantpower I'm referring to the woman that raised him. Tarasha Euten
@@SophiaAstatine Probably watching her son and says "Thats my son right there" which is promptly followed by the sound of a dozen warpspawn just backing away from her, not wanting to mess with the mother of a FUCKING PRIMARCH.
@@Psychoangel-d23 Well, I mean, she has managed to shock Konrad Kurze by telling him to go to hell, when she should've been terrified to the point of her heart ripping itself apart...
@@Psychoangel-d23After all this time, I'm still curious what sort of inkblot life looking stains were left after Guilliman caught those chaos marines descerating his mother's memorial. And how fast said guys ended up that way.
Dude, your music, its so goddamn good, everything you put out is a banger. You put such emotion into it, it effects me, you make me empathize with the people in your songs and I'm moved to near-tears by their struggles. Bravo dude.
Whenever I'm feeling down and my myriad responsibilities seem to drown me, I listen to this song and I find the strength to go forth until my goals are met.
Thanks for that!
The Lord of Ultramar has dropped the hottest dis track of the 41st millennium...
The Ultramarines were my first Chapter; sure, they changed to Star Phantoms, Astral Claws, and Red Scorpions, and even more, but they will always be special to me. They are the best warriors, and Big E's remark on them in TTS actually pissed me off. I wanted to walk up, smack Bruva Alfabusa, and tell him that if it wasn't for Guilliman and his Legion, the Imperium would have died. I now realize it's a form of satire, but the sentiment still rings true: the Warrior Kings of Ultramar are the greatest warriors of mankind.
To be fair, as shown in the "Behemoth", up until a certain moment, they were fine. Apparently, Marneus has made a deal with... something... which has turned them into what they are now. Some Ultramarines have managed to avoid that, too, like Uriel Ventris or Calgar himself.
They are based off the Roman Empire, and there is a certain line that I always remember about the Roman Empire...
"The greatest soldiers in history."
"Who? The Daleks?"
"No, no. The Romans."
I'll preface this by saying I've not looked at much of the new lore following Guilliman's reawakening and only know the barest of the barebones of the current state of the Imperium and the reawakened Primarch.
And now, I'll congratulate you. Because you just made me actually like the Girlyman.
And i Hope our favorites Stringstorm will made a song about Lion come back as well^^
