It starts with some sort of bell ringing. The song also earned moderate success on music charts though is mainly known for it's appearance in Halo 2.

Lyrics from Breaking Benjamin's MySpace page.
[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 your hand (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!
