| 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]]''.

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