[Verse 1] I’m dropping in from my hatch And I’ve been forging my wrath Gotta, gotta tear them down Because I want it all It started out with a spark How did it burn so dark? It was only a scout It was only a scout [Verse 2] Now I’m hearing them swarm And I’m baring my steel While they’re raising their shields And I’m losing my seal Now they’re warping behind And my gut starts to reel And it’s all in my head They’re unleashing psychic force They’re claiming our blood source Let me go [Pre-Chorus] And I just can’t stand—it’s killing me And stealing all control [Chorus] Cruelty, turning squads into dust Ripping through battered lines Twisting all coded signs But it’s just the price we pay Victory is beckoning Open up my raging eyes ‘Cause I’m Helldiver King [Verse 3] I’m dropping in from my hatch And I’ve been holding the line Gotta, gotta force them out ’Cause their tech’s too divine It started out with a spark How did it spiral this far? It was only a probe It was only a probe [Verse 4] Now they’re draining our sight And I’m tossing grenades While their fractal beams slice And I’m counting the strays Halo fields overhead Got my stomach in knots And it’s all in my head They’re flaying my squad now They’re claiming our stronghold Let me go [Pre-Chorus] And I just can’t see—it’s blinding me And gnawing at my soul [Chorus] Illuminate, warping minds into fear Tearing down all we’ve known Harvesting flesh and bone But it’s just the cost of war Destiny keeps calling me Open up my trembling eyes ‘Cause I’m Helldiver free [Outro] I never… I never… I never… I never…
