Send the Waves

Shipyard smoke on Reach, one Demon won't drop We burn the horizon - still he holds the ground Last Spartan in the shipyard, won't go down We send the Grunts in first - then hear them break His rifle keeps the rhythm: take, take, take So we call in Elites with blades and war-song Reach is already lost - so why is he so strong? Send the waves, send the waves - make the Demon break! Out of ammo, out of time - still he won't retreat! On a dying world he's standing, steel in the rain Send the waves, send the waves - 'til the fighting ends! 'Til the fighting ends... We trade whole squads for seconds of his breath He fights like "survive" is louder than death Brutes roar, Jackals scatter - our courage thins And every time we swarm him... he wins So we call in more blades, more boots, more flame If one lone wolf can haunt us - what is our name? Send the waves, send the waves - make the Demon break! Out of ammo, out of time - still he won't retreat On a dying world he's standing, steel in the rain Send the waves, send the waves 'til the fighting ends! We conquered Reach - so why does victory shake? Because he stands like a myth we can't unmake Because he falls only forward... and drags the dark with him Circle tighter, strike faster, drown him in the light In our coms one truth spreads: "Not tonight. Not tonight." Send the waves, send the waves - make the Demon break! Out of ammo, out of time - still he won't retreat! On a dying world he's standing, steel in the rain Send the waves, send the waves `til the fighting ends! We won the field... but we couldn't break the one...
