A stealing of IF

If you can keep the commisar away from you,
whilst all else are being called heretics.
If you have faith in 4 eternal true gods,
But make no allowance for their favour.
If you can shoot but not get bored of shooting
or exceed to excess
Or maim the maim-worthy
And yet not get discovered 'till Istevaan;
If you can obey military order- and yet not obey the emperor
If you are modified- but know you're superior
If you can meet your foe with a krak grenade or melta
And apply those 2 to the right situation
Twisted by the warp to show the lier on his throne.
Watched the gellar field flicker and know your fate
And yet kill a loyalist with just a sharpened grin
If you believe the universe deserves you
and you'll expend every resource to get it
If people are cattle and only you know what is right
and never question yourself, never doubt
If you can tear cadians and elfs about
and use them for your schemes
When nothing but your revenge keeps you alive
If you have lost your virtue in fountains of blood
of kings and peasants and not judged.
If demonic auras shield you
And all run at the mention of your name
If you know 100 ways to slaughter a nid
with just your caustic wit
Yours is terra and everything around it,
And - which is more - you'll be a God, my son!
