[Intro] The world fell silent... The surface burned... From the ashes... A war returned. Steel and thunder... A fading light... Brothers rise... Into the fight. [Verse 1] Beneath the ruins, cities die, A broken world beneath a crimson sky. The COG stands where the fallen remain, Fighting through the endless pain. A soldier carries more than steel, More than scars that never heal. Marcus Fenix, back from the past, A warrior built to make it last. The Locust rise from the ground below, An army born from the depths we know. Through shattered streets and burning stone, No one survives this war alone. [Pre-Chorus] Side by side... Through fire and blood... We stand together... Against the flood. [Chorus] BROTHERS BENEATH ASH! We carry the weight of the ones we've lost. Through every battle... Through every cost. When the world falls apart, When the darkness attacks, We keep moving forward... We never look back. BROTHERS BENEATH ASH! Our scars tell the story of what we've survived. Through the end of the world... We remain alive. [Verse 2] Delta Squad marches through the storm, Against the creatures that the darkness formed. The Hammer of Dawn lights up the sky, But still the Locust refuse to die. Through underground kingdoms and endless war, We find what we've been fighting for. A brother lost, a memory stays, A name that echoes through the flames. The battlefield takes everything, But loyalty is the song we sing. No matter how far the shadows spread, We fight for the living... We honor the dead. [Pre-Chorus] The ground shakes... The heavens burn... But we will never... Turn and run. [Chorus] BROTHERS BENEATH ASH! We carry the weight of the ones we've lost. Through every battle... Through every cost. When the world falls apart, When the darkness attacks, We keep moving forward... We never look back. BROTHERS BENEATH ASH! Our scars tell the story of what we've survived. Through the end of the world... We remain alive. [Bridge] A fallen world... A final stand... Hope remains... In a soldier's hands. Not for glory... Not for fame... But for the brothers... Who knew our names. [Breakdown] COG! RISE! THE LOCUST... WILL FALL! NO MORE RUNNING! NO MORE FEAR! WE END THIS WAR... RIGHT HERE! BROTHERS! STAND! TOGETHER! [Final Chorus] BROTHERS BENEATH ASH! Even when the world has lost its way, We fight another day. Through the fire... Through the pain... We rise again. The war may take everything we have, But it will never break our backs. As long as one soldier stands... Humanity... Will fight back. [Outro] The battlefield grows quiet... The ashes remain... But the brothers who fought... Will never fade.
