===SSgt Barry Sadler: Ballade Of The Space Marines.===
Fighting soldiers from the sky<br>
Fearless men who jump and die<br>
Men who haunt the Xenos' dreams<br>
The brave men of the Space Marines<br>

Golden wings upon their chests<br>
More than men, the Imperium's best<br>
Today we test one hundred teens<br>
But only one joins the Space Marines<br>

Altered to live off any land<br>
Trained in combat, hand to hand<br>
Never to hide their colours' sheen<br>
They wear them proud for the Space Marines<br>

Golden wings upon their chests<br>
More than men, the Imperium's best<br>
Today we test one hundred teens<br>
But only one joins the Space Marines<br>

When at last, he is released<br>
One more Marine finds The Emperor's Peace<br>
He has died for those oppressed<br>
Leaving his Chapter one request<br>

Cut the geneseed from my chest<br>
To live again in the Imperium's best<br>
One more young man to guard the hopes and dreams<br>
Of all Mankind as a Space Marine<br>
