Et Templars Mysteria aux Ordo Malleus


 

The Canticle of Absolution of the Grey Knights, known as The Six Hundred and Sixty Six Secret Words.

 

 

 

 

Praise the Emperor for his sacrifice,
as He endures so shall we.
We who are Hunters of Daemons,
shall strive in his name eternally.
 
When all flee in hideous disarray,
strong and sound shall we stand.
Cowardice is wholly unknown to us,
our courage comes from the Emperor.
 
We the Order of the Hammer,
shall delve into the Dark shadows.
We shall seek out the Tainted,
we shall pursue the Vilest Evil.
 
Unbowed and unshaken against all foes,
we shall claim victory with blood.
Steady and surely we hunt them,
those that dare oppose our wrath.
 
It is we who stand guard,
our Eternal Watch shall not fail.
For we are the Ordo Malleus!
 
Death stalks us in many forms,
the grotesque and the utterly inhuman.
We are the Bringers of Hope!
 
We Grey Knights are the Hammers,
we slay the Darkness without fear.
Founded in great mystery we were,
Chapter six hundred and sixty six.
 
Bloody battles unending constantly await us,
redemption the reward for our vigilance.
When possession rears its unspeakable head,
ours is the blade that descends.
 
Though on Titan we be hidden,
yet our eyes encompass the Galaxy.
No Devil shall elude our gaze,
no Daemon shall avoid its Fate.
 
When Empyrean Horrors invade our realm,
our Exorcisms shall hurl them back.
There is no Chaos spawned horror,
which can resist our indomitable anger.
 
We shall be the Keepers Immortal,
all Secrets shall be our Knowledge.
We are the Guardians of Mankind!
 
With undaunted courage we shall prevail,
no arcane magicks shall overcome us.
We are the Bearers of Victory!
 
Caution and secrecy are our code,
watchfulness and patience are our way.
Hidden from the Eyes of Chaos,
we strike without warning or dread.
 
No corruption shall blemish our Galaxy,
no Immaterial Fiend shall be spared.
No Malevolent Spirit will oppose us,
no Creation of Sin shall survive.
 
Though we find ourselves in the Shadows,
no Blackness will enter our Hearts.
No treachery will touch our souls,
no pride will sully our thoughts.
 
No Unholy Deed shall go Unpunished,
all Blasphemous Acts shall be Atoned.
No Spawn of Misrule avoids us,
all are banished to the Void.
 
We shall be Pure amongst Impurity,
we shall be Innocence amongst the Guilt.
We are the Imperium's Hidden Saviors!
 
Nothing shall evade our cleansing fire,
not Daemon or Spawn or Renegade.
Fore we are Man's Divine Blade!
 
We are spread across the Heavens,
our watch is untiring and ceaseless.
The Emperor shall guard our Souls,
as we Guard those of others.
 
Heavenly Blessings are laid upon us,
the Warp is ours to Tame.
Tough Sorceries shall be against us,
no Witchcraft will bring our Doom.
 
Our will shall be our weapons,
our faith shall be our armor.
Our minds will be secure fortresses,
no Temptation will weaken our resolve.
 
Tough Spell or Incantation blocks us,
the Emperor shall see us Victorious.
No Hex can overcome our determine,
our resolve is strong as steel.
 
Though unnumbered lurking perils await us,
our blades will be ever ready.
For we are the Emperor's Vengeance!
 
Sigils and wards watch over us,
prayers shall serve as our guide.
For we are the Emperor's Chosen!
 
Masters of all weapons are we,
no defense exists against our wrath.
With the Nemesis we shall fight,
with an Aegis to shield us.
 
There is much darkness awaiting us,
yet the Emperor lights our path.
Falsehood surrounds us at every turn,
yet no Traitor shall confound us.
 
In bloodshed shall we save Mankind,
Death shall be our everlasting Creed.
War Unending shall be our Fate,
in battle shall we be steeped.
 
No despicable trickery will thwart us,
no Damnation will bring us low.
There is no peace for us,
for an eternity we will strive.
 
We shall be unstinting in Hatred,
we shall hunger for Holy War.
For we are the Swords of Justice!
 
Though mere mortals in His service,
everlasting shall be our True Duty.
Et Imperator Invocato Diabolus Daemonica Excorism!
