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

| |
| <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!
| | There’s nothing left |
| | |
| | So save your breath |
