Stand strong,
Against the wall,
Of fire and pain,
Of the will of the gods.
Fight hard,
For those that fall,
To honor them,
In the blood of the enemy.
Yet when the dams,
Release their tide,
Do not let,
The stronghold fall.
Unexpected allies,
In unexpected places,
Create bonds forged,
That will last the ages.
And now comes,
The greatest threat,
Forefathers in name,
Enemies in war.
Loss strikes deep,
But do not forget,
What you have,
Master Chief.
