Verse 1 A warship isn't built by steel, Or engines burning through the night. She's built by every soul aboard Who keeps her standing through the fight. While boots descend through fire below, Another battle's fought up here. Behind the guns... Behind the stars... Stand those who drive away our fear. Verse 2 Lunar walks the armory floor, Every rack perfectly alined. "Treat that rifle like your life... 'Cause someday it just might save mine." Magazines and pulse rifles, Armor plates and combat knives. He doesn't hand out weapons... He hands out second lives. Pre-Chorus Every mission... Starts somewhere. Every Marine... Knows they're there. Chorus THEY HOLD THE LINE... Before the first shot's ever fired! THEY KEEP THE FLAME... When every world is burning higher! Captain! Doctor! Engineer! Gunnery Sergeant! Standing here! The Forerunner sails because... They never break. Verse 3 Captain Xaric stands the bridge, Eyes fixed far beyond the stars. Every order calm and steady, Even carrying hidden scars. He knows every soul aboard, Every marines name. A captain doesn't sail a ship... He carries every life the same. When the jump coordinates flash, His voice cuts through the nervous air. "Helm... Take us there." Verse 4 Saintess walks Medical, Where silence speaks the loudest words. She can't erase the pain of war... But she can keep hope breathing first. Every heartbeat she protects, Every wound she helps survive. Sometimes winning isn't glory... Sometimes... It's keeping one more alive. Pre-Chorus Broken armor... Broken bone... Nobody... Faces it alone. Chorus THEY HOLD THE LINE... Before the first shot's ever fired! THEY KEEP THE FLAME... When every world is burning higher! Captain! Doctor! Engineer! Gunnery Sergeant! Standing here! The Forerunner sails because... They never break. Bridge Down below... Chief Engineer JD Keeps the ship's heartbeat alive. Reactors humming... Hands covered in grease. Every warning light answered. Every damaged conduit repaired. Every impossible jump... Made possible. He laughs at broken engines... Because he refuses to lose the Forerunner. Breakdown Lunar shouts— "Weapons ready!" Saintess calls— "Medical standing by!" JD answers— "Reactor green!" Xaric commands— "Helm... engage!" Four voices. One ship. One family. Guitar Solo Final Chorus THEY HOLD THE LINE! So others can! They build tomorrow With steady hands! Through every battle! Through every scar! They're the heartbeat... Of who we are! Captain Xaric! Guide us true! Lunar! Arm the crew! Saintess! Keep hope alive! JD! Keep her flying through the night! When the stars grow cold... When the fighting's done... The Forerunner still stands... Because of everyone. Outro The bridge reports green. Medical reports ready. Engineering standing by. Armory secured. FTL drive charged. Captain Xaric looks out across the stars. "Set course." "Let's bring them home."
