'''Blow Me Away''' by the post-grunge band Breaking Benjamin is the second track in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack| Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 1]]''. The song was written specifically for the soundtrack, and was later featured on the band's 2004 EP ''[[wikipedia:So Cold (Breaking Benjamin song)#So Cold EP|So Cold]]''. The song also earned moderate success on music charts though is mainly known for its appearance in ''Halo 2''. | |||
==Appearances== | |||
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! | |||
