# ONE LAST STAND — PART II: WE'RE STILL STANDING *The flamethrower continues roaring from Part I.* ### [Verse 1] “I've run from what they made me I've buried who I was But I'm not leaving anyone behind Not now—not ever.” Amelia opens fire. Jon forces himself up. Arch brings the Smartgun around. Shy grabs his weapon. Ghosty rises beside them. ### [Verse — A Moment of Hope] Amelia's fire cuts the darkness The Queen recoils in pain Jason pulls his team together And they rise to fight again Arch brings the Smartgun roaring Jon reignites the flame Shy gets back onto his feet Ghosty does the same For one brief second It feels like we might win But the Queen comes screaming through the smoke— **And the fight begins again.** Then through the wreckage A voice calls Jason's name... **“Jason!”** *The music drops.* A medic steps through the smoke. **Saintess.** **“Miss me?”** Behind her— A rifle comes up. **Lunar.** **“Had a long way back.”** Ghosty laughs. **“Took you long enough.”** Saintess looks toward the Queen. **“Then let's finish this.”** ### [Pre-Chorus] Six became eight The broken stand again The Queen is still coming **So let the final battle begin!** ### [Chorus] **ONE LAST STAND!** Against the Queen! **ONE LAST STAND!** The worst we've ever seen! We've fought through hell We've watched our brothers fall But if we're going down tonight— **We're taking her with us all!** ### [Final Battle — Heavy Instrumental] **Jason:** **“EVERYBODY—NOW!”** Smartgun roaring. Pulse rifles screaming. Flamers ignite. Amelia burns the Queen. Lunar fires from the flank. Saintess fires beside Jason. Shy and Ghosty unload everything they have. The Queen charges. Jason steps forward. **“FOR EVERYONE WE LOST!”** The entire team fires. The Queen staggers. Amelia's flames engulf her. Jason charges through the smoke— **And fires the final burst.** *BOOM.* The Queen collapses. Silence. Then— **The hive begins to fall.** ### [Final Chorus — Huge] **ONE LAST STAND!** And somehow we survived! **ONE LAST STAND!** Everybody made it out alive! We've lost so many We've carried every scar But through the smoke and fire— **We found each other where we are!** **ONE LAST STAND!** The Queen is dead! **ONE LAST STAND!** The nightmare ends! From the first call To the final fight— **WE'RE STILL STANDING!** ### [Outro — Emotional] *Dropship engines roar.* Jason helps Shy aboard. Arch and Jon follow. Ghosty limps up the ramp. Saintess and Lunar climb aboard. Amelia stands beside Jason. The ramp closes. The dropship rises above the burning hive. Jason looks back at LV-four twenty four. Then forward. For the first time... They're not running toward the fight. They're going home. **Jason:** “LV-four twenty four... we're done.” Engines fade into silence.
