So, lock and load, mercenaries
I see the smoke from the hilltop
They march one by one
The battle starts, adversaries
We bathe in our blood
The worst is yet to come
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 sun comes 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
  They 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 sun comes up we fight

  Don't let them find us or we're dead
  So promise me you won't leave my side

  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 sun comes 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

  With rust on their gears
  They seek destruction

  And kill the functions

  Charge the gates

  With rust on their gears
  They seek destruction

  And kill the functions

  Charge the gates

  With rust on their gears
  They seek destruction

  And kill the functions

  Charge the gates

  With rust on their gears
