Verse 1 Slipspace opened... Stars stood still... The calm before Another kill. Bridge lights glowing, Sensors cried. "Unknown contact... Closing fast." No distress call. No friendly code. Just blackened steel On an endless road. Weyland's mark Across her bow. Everyone knew... What this was now. Pre-Chorus Weapons hot... Battle stations... No more waiting... No negotiations... Chorus BURN WITH ME! Steel to steel! If we're falling... You'll know how it feels! No surrender! No retreat! We'll drag you down... Into defeat! BURN WITH ME! Hear us roar! You wanted monsters... Now you'll learn What war is for! Verse 2 Railguns thundered, Missiles flew. The void itself Was torn in two. Point defense Filled space with fire. Engines screamed Beyond their wire. Hull plates shattered. Decks collapsed. Damage reports Came in too fast. The mercenary captain Made one final demand— "Stand aside." "Surrender the survivors." "The specimens belong to Weyland-Yutani." Captain Xaric answered— "Negative." Pre-Chorus Not one Marine... Not one child... Will ever become... Your cargo. Chorus BURN WITH ME! Break the sky! If you want our people... You'll have to die! Every gun! Every round! We'll make sure You follow us down! BURN WITH ME! Stand and fight! There'll be no victory For you tonight! Bridge "Engineering!" "Reactor breach!" "We've lost port engines!" "Fire in Hangar Two!" "Enemy boarding pods inbound!" "Repel boarders!" "Medical overwhelmed!" "Helm, maintain collision course!" Silence. Captain Xaric grips the command rail. "If she wants our people..." "She falls with us." Breakdown Warning klaxons! Hull collapsing! Atmosphere venting! Emergency bulkheads! One final burn! One final charge! Two giants... Locked together... Falling. Guitar Solo Final Chorus BURN WITH ME! Through the flame! History... Remember our names! Steel may fail... But not our will! We'll stop you here... We always will! BURN WITH ME! Hear us cry! If the price of saving lives... Is giving ours... Then let us fall... Together. Outro The Forerunner drives forward. The mercenary cruiser tries to break away. Too late. Steel tears through steel. Explosions bloom across both hulls. Locked together... The two ships fall through the atmosphere. Below... An endless sea of hive tunnels Stretches to the horizon. The mercenary vessel slams directly into the heart of the infestation. No escape pods launch. No distress calls. No one walks away. The Forerunner crashes miles away... Scattering her people across an alien world. The mercenary ship... Disappears beneath chitin... Acid... And silence. The only transmission recovered from either battle is Captain Xaric's final order: "Protect the civilians..." "No matter the cost."
