[Verse 1] She wears her scars in welded steel, Every plate is a tale to tell. Burn marks from forgotten battles, Proof she carries us through hell. No front porch. No hometown roads. No quiet fields beneath the sun. Just humming decks and endless engines... Home is where the jump begins. Four hundred Marines call her home. Two hundred crew keep hope alive. One ship carrying seven hundred hearts Through the endless black outside. [Pre-Chorus] Steel beneath us... Stars above... Some call her a warship... We call her blood. [Chorus] FORERUNNER! Carry us on! Through the darkness, Toward the dawn! Every deck... Every hall... These steel walls Shelter us all! FORERUNNER! Strong and true! No matter where The stars pull through! When the galaxy turns cold... You'll always be our home! [Verse 2] Mess hall laughter fills the night, Cards and stories passed around. Fresh coffee, tired conversations, The closest thing to common ground. Mechanics working through first light, Keeping dropships ready to fly. Medics patching broken bodies, Pilots watching worlds drift by. The engine room keeps beating on, Like a heart that never sleeps. Every wrench and every circuit Make another promise to keep. Some call this another posting, Just another place to stay. But home is built by those beside you... Not the world you left away. [Pre-Chorus] Every hallway... Every bunk... Every voice... Still echoes. [Chorus] FORERUNNER! Carry us on! When tomorrow Looks all wrong! Hold together! Never fail! Be the harbor When we sail! FORERUNNER! Guide our way! Through the silence Of deep space! If we lose our way... You'll still know our names. [Bridge] Hangar lights... Engine glow... Dropships waiting... Ready to go. Letters written... Pictures taped... Dog tags hanging... Coffee stains. Life goes on Between the missions. A thousand little moments... That makes a ship... A home. [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] FORERUNNER! Steel and soul! More than hull, More than bolts! Every heartbeat... Every friend... Every journey Starts and ends... FORERUNNER! Hold us fast! Through tomorrow... Through the past! If we ever lose the stars... You'll still be... Home. {Outro] Lights dim. The night cycle begins. Engines hum beyond the walls. Seven hundred souls drift to sleep... Wrapped in steel... Floating between worlds. Tomorrow... The mission begins again.
