| This track plays during the battle between the [[Jiralhanae]], [[Mgalekgolo]], and the [[Sangheili]] in the [[Mausoleum of the Arbiter]] at the end of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]'', though it plays with the lyrics almost muted. The music plays on a loop until all enemies are eliminated. The introduction of the song, with its characteristic bell chime, can be heard during the level ''[[Outskirts]]'', before [[John-117]] encounters a convoy of {{Pattern|Ruwaa|Shadow}}s in the highway tunnel.

| The track was replaced by ''[[Breaking the Covenant]]'' in the ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' [[Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack|soundtrack]] and corresponding gameplay section. The bell chime in the introduction was reorchestrated into the opening of ''[[Moon Over Mombasa]]''.

| [Verse 1] | |
| <br />They fall in line,
| |
| <br />One at a time.
| |
| <br />Ready to play
| |
| <br />(I can't see them anyway)
| |
| <br />No time to lose
| |
| <br />We've got to move
| |
| <br />Steady the helm
| |
| <br />(I am losing sight again)
| |
| | |
| <br />[Bridge]
| |
| <br />Fire your guns,
| |
| <br />It's time to run,
| |
| <br />Blow me away.
| |
| <br />(I will stay, In the mess I made)
| |
| <br />After the fall,
| |
| <br />We'll shake it off,
| |
| <br />Show me the way.
| |
| | |
| <br />[Chorus]
| |
| <br />Only the strongest will survive,
| |
| <br />Lead me to Heaven when we die,
| |
| <br />I am the shadow on the wall,
| |
| <br />I'll be the one to save us all.
| |
| | |
| <br />[Verse 2]
| |
| <br />There's nothing left,
| |
| <br />So save your breath,
| |
| <br />Lying in wait.
| |
| <br />(Caught inside this tidal wave)
| |
| <br />Your cover's blown,
| |
| <br />Nowhere to go,
| |
| <br />Holding your fate.
| |
| <br />(loaded, I will walk alone)
| |
| | |
| <br />[Bridge]
| |
| <br />Fire your guns,
| |
| <br />It's time to run,
| |
| <br />Blow me away.
| |
| <br />(I will stay, In the mess I made)
| |
| <br />After the fall,
| |
| <br />We'll shake it off,
| |
| <br />Show me the way.
| |
| | |
| <br />[Chorus]
| |
| <br />Only the strongest will survive,
| |
| <br />Lead me to Heaven when we die,
| |
| <br />I am the shadow on the wall,
| |
| <br />I'll be the one to save us all.
| |
| | |
| <br />Wanting it back
| |
| <br />(Don't fight me, God!)
| |
| | |
| <br />(Here I come! (Held out for about 2 seconds))
| |
| | |
| <br />(Die! (Held out for about 5 seconds))
| |
| | |
| <br />[Chorus]
| |
| <br />Only the strongest will survive,
| |
| <br />Lead me to Heaven when we die,
| |
| <br />I am the shadow on the wall,
| |
| <br />I'll be the one to save us all.
| |
| | |
| <br />Save us all!
