Editing Star Krakens (legacy) (section)

==Hymnals and Prayers==
The Star Kraken have a rich oral tradition, something they've carried with them from the cradle of their homeworld into the cold depths of space. Sampled below are some of the more popular hymns and prayers of the Kraken, recited during Crossing Ceremonies and other ritualistic moments aboard each Strike Cruiser (dependent on the zeal of its Brother-Captain.)

===In Darkness Dwells===
In Darkness Dwells that fearsome might

Which heeds its summons to our side

Through war and battle, brawl and fight,

On black tides our boats will ride


From strange home to stranger ports still

Roaming the depths, as is our fate

On ancients ships, by Emperor’s will

On the void’s winds that deliver our hate


Ten flags of ten heroes, lost in the dark

To resurface again when the time is right

Manned by the lost ones is the old ark

Hear the oars strike in the sea with no light


To chapter and master I now speak my vow

To ship and crew I give my life

Emperor guide me to fight your foes now

Emperor guide me to win in this strife



“Arise, arise!” the kraken is beckoned

“Arise, arise!” with ten ship bells

“Arise, arise!" all foes shall be reckoned

“Arise, arise!" in darkness dwells!

===On Black Tides===
In darkness dwells that fearsome might

Which heeds its summons to our side

Through war and battle, brawl and fight,

On black tides our blows do ride.


From a strange home we sail toward ports stranger still,

On ships ancient and weary with weapons striking true

In Death's name we travel, the Old King claims our kill

Our guns blaze blood hot, our enemies lay corpse blue
