Appearances[edit]
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, 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 Ruwaa-pattern Shadows in the highway tunnel.
The track was replaced by Breaking the Covenant in the Halo 2: Anniversary soundtrack and corresponding gameplay section. The bell chime in the introduction was reorchestrated into the opening of Moon Over Mombasa.
Lyrics[edit]
[Verse 1]
They fall in line,
One at a time.
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady the helm
(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 am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.
[Verse 2]
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 am the 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))
(Die! (Held out for about 5 seconds))
[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to Heaven when we die,
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.
Save us all!
