[Verse 1]
You say that I'm near extinction, but I'm not even close
If you wanna talk about survival, that's a goddamn book I wrote
Now the Golden Age is over, though that don't make me broke
The moment you hope that I'm at my lowest point, I'm at your throat
Won't miss another sunrise until the day that we fall into the darkness
Creepin' out of every little corner out the galaxy and we can't even stop this
I don't wanna be the one that's gotta knock the last nail in my fallen brothers' coffins
Pick up all the weapons and apparel that you find so we don't run out of options
Not a question of destiny, I'm just on a quest to free humanity
We got extraterrestrial entities infesting the planet and it gets to me
Lock and load, rest in peace, execute effectively
Executive decisions left to me, not one of these enemies questions me
Don't let them do the talkin' when you can knock em' back
There ain't no Covenant comin' in to watch their backs
All they do is fall apart, they're not so hard to crack
Now show the Fallen that they're fuckin' with the wrong pack

[Chorus]
I'll tell you when it's over, just close your eyes (Just close your eyes)
I'm always watching over your earth and sky
For every fallen soldier, one more will rise (One more will rise)
You'll be reborn a legend the day you die

[Verse 2]
I have walked upon the finest line, dividing God and man
Ever since the collapse, all that was left of us could hardly stand
And now all across the planet, there is really nothing left
As the Traveler watches over us, I wonder how long he can
Now we walk upon the sand as galactic guardians
And until the day I drop, I'll represent this monogram
Fightin' every onslaught of monsters off my land
Should they fail to wipe us out, I'm afraid that the Darkness can
Listen carefully to my words, for all I know, they'll be my last
Protect this city with your life, 'cause this one is all we have
Adorn heroic robes, assemble your chosen class
Remember all that the Fallen see is a target on your back
Don't let the Vex get to you next
Forget about their heads and target the chest
Those goddamn machines don't even stand a chance
You can't time travel when your already dead
Better watch ya back around all Cabal
They make a Roman army look awful small
Let David talk Goliath
That the biggest have the hardest fall
Now you're not the underdog
[Chorus]
I'll tell you when it's over, just close your eyes (Just close your eyes)
I'm always watching over your earth and sky
For every fallen soldier, one more will rise (One more will rise)
You'll be reborn a legend the day you die

[Verse 3]
Funny that we used call this whole entire solar system home
Took us long enough to figure out that we were not alone
But I'm an expert in my focus, leavin' your whole species hopeless
Human, Exo and Awoken stand as one, a band unbroken
In a barren land ripped open by the beasts and parasites
Where the Warlocks and the Titans are found fightin' side by side
As the Hunter lays down coverin' fire against the entire Hive
Welcome to a world where myths and legends are brought to life

[Chorus]
I'll tell you when it's over, just close your eyes (Just close your eyes)
I'm always watching over your earth and sky
For every fallen soldier, one more will rise (One more will rise)
You'll be reborn a legend the day you die
