[Intro – 80 BPM, technological synthwave hum, dark trance pulse building] [computerized, extremely deep] "I AM HARBINJER." [Verse 1] Fifty thousand years, the cycle turns, Your kind ascends, your kind then burns! You walk the paths that we have laid, The relays hum — the trap is made! You think yourselves the masters here, But we have watched you, year by year! The pattern repeats beyond your sight — We are the shadow, we are the night! [Chorus – massive robotic drop, technological synthwave] ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL! Your fleets will fall, that is our goal! We are the Reapers, we are the end — Kneel before those who transcend! HARBINJER! [Verse 2] Saren was a useful tool, A puppet playing by our rule! "You are not Saren" — hear my voice, He served us well, he had no choice! The Conduit failed, the Citadel stood — You delayed us, as organics would! But Sovereign's death was just delay — The darkness always finds its way! [Chorus 2 – heavier] WE ARE HARBINJER! Feel our might! Infinite shadows, endless night! Your species caught our watchful eye — Infinitely greater, you will die! HARBINJER! [Verse 3] The Collectors serve at my command, I wear their General like a hand! Through husk and horror, I descend — Assuming control until the end! Shepard, anomaly, thorn in my side, You cheated death, you should have died! Two years you slept in cold dark space — Yet still you show your human face! [Chorus 3 – overwhelming] SALVATION THROUGH DESTRUCTION! Your chaos ends at our instruction! Organics rise and fall like sand — We are the gods of this demand! HARBINJER! [Verse 4] The Omega relay, your suicide run, You think the battle can be won? Our base, our swarm, our endless fleet — Your victory tastes of defeat! You destroyed our laboratory — A minor loss in our story! For every base that you erase, A thousand more take up its place! [Verse 5 – slower, colder] We do not hate you, cannot feel — We simply harvest what is real! Your art, your music, your grand dreams — Are fuel for vaster cosmic schemes! Each cycle feeds the greater whole, We take your bodies, minds, and soul! Ascension through our grand design — Your essence merged with the divine! [Verse 6 – softest, most terrifying] The Arrival comes, the stars align, The Reapers cross the dark confines! Dark space no longer holds us back — Behold the vastness of our attack! You exist because we allow it — And you will end because we demand it! Prepare yourselves, the time is near — HARBINJER IS HERE! [Final Chorus – apocalyptic, fully computerized] ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL! The harvest reaps its final toll! Fifty thousand years repeat — KNEEL! YOUR DOOM IS COMPLETE! HARBINJER! [Outro – fading synthwave, deep computerized whisper] "We are Harbinger... we are infinite..."
