So lock and load mercenaries 
I see the smoke from the hilltop 
They march one by one 

The battled starts adversaries 
We bathe in our blood 
The worst is yet [bad word] 
We've reached the covenant 
To kill what we have started 
Kill the machines 
We've spawned to fight in the darkest hour 

They really need to know 
We really gotta go 
(we fight to live, we fight for pride) they really need to know 
(we won't back down the weak won't survive) we really gotta go 

We stay here tonight (don't let them find us or we're dead)
Promise me you won't leave my side (the warmest place to lie my head)
And when the [bad word] up we fight (don't let them find us or we're dead)
So promise me you won't leave my side 

Trace the blood back to the grave 
The smoke has cleared 
Thousands are destroyed 
They send signals no salvation 
We fight in lock out 
Scope is ready to go 
Armed with explosives 
Spartans stand alone

They really need to know 
We really gotta go 
(we fight to live, we fight for pride) they really need to know 
(we won't back down the weak won't survive) we really gotta go 

We stay here tonight (don't let them find us or we're dead)
Promise me you won't leave my side (the warmest place to lie my head)
And when the [bad word] up we fight (don't let them find us or we're dead)
So promise me you won't leave my side 

With my breath!

We stay here tonight (don't let them find us or we're dead)
Promise me you won't leave my side (the warmest place to lie my head)
And when the [bad word] up we fight (don't let them find us or we're dead)
So promise me you won't leave my side 

Charge the gates [bad word] on their gears 
They seek [bad word] and kill the functions
Charge the gates [bad word] on their gears 
They seek [bad word] and kill the functions
Charge the gates [bad word] on their gears 
They seek [bad word] and kill the functions
Charge the gates [bad word] on their gears...
