[Intro] [Verse 1] Pillar of Autumn, a falling star, ripped apart, gone too far! Escape pod screams, a fiery birth Crashing down on alien earth! Metal groans, the hatchway sighs Step out blinking, 'neath strange new skies! A ribbon world, a verdant dream But death lurks silent, by the rushing stream! [Pre-Chorus] Cortana's voice, a whisper in my head, "Marines are scattered, many feared dead!" Got my rifle, got my will to fight, Gonna turn this green hell into their last night! [Chorus] HALO! Ring of wonder, ring of war! This ain't no planet, what's it all for?! HALO! Covenant closing, hear their cry! Underneath this artificial sky, we fight or die! ON HALO! [Verse 2] Grunts are squawking, Elites advance Got no time for a second glance! Plasma flying, needler shards ignite Pushing forward, with all of my might! Find survivors, battered and bruised Another pod down, no time to lose! Hop in the 'Hog, let the engine roar Gunner's blazing, settling the score! [Pre-Chorus] Through canyons deep and structures tall, Answering freedom's desperate call! Gotta regroup, gotta find a way, To live and fight another day! [Chorus] HALO! Ring of wonder, ring of war! This ain't no planet, what's it all for?! HALO! Covenant closing, hear their cry! Underneath this artificial sky, we fight or die! ON HALO! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] This ain't no rock, it's a man-made arc A silent sentinel, lost in the dark Someone built it, for a purpose unknown But tonight, its soil is where our blood is sown! Forerunner secrets, buried deep Promises we're fighting to keep! [Chorus] HALO! Ring of wonder, ring of war! THIS AIN'T NO PLANET, WHAT'S IT ALL FOR?! HALO! COVENANT CLOSING, HEAR THEIR CRY! UNDERNEATH THIS ARTIFICIAL SKY, WE FIGHT OR DIE! ON HALO! YEAH! [Outro] Foe Hammer's callin', "Extraction's near!" Survived the chaos, conquered the fear! But the fight's not over, not by a long shot...
