(Ambient Intro – Space Static + Slow Piano)
(Visual: Drifting through debris. Half of a Halo ring broken and glassed. Chief floating unconscious.)
Cold vacuum… silent stars…
Armor drifting through the dark…
They said I’d wake when hope was gone…
So here I am.
(Verse 1 – Low Cello + Sub Bass Pulse)
(Visual: Chief awakening inside armor. HUD flickers.)
Systems online…
Vitals green…
But there’s no one left on my screen.
No chatter in my ear tonight…
No steady voice to guide the fight.
Just fractured metal, broken sky,
A ring cut open… like goodbye.
(Pre-Chorus – AI Whisper Layer)
(Faint distorted echo of Cortana’s voice layered in background)
“John…”
I hear you in the static hum,
In every system check I run,
Are you memory… or mistake?
A ghost my mind refused to break?
(CHORUS – Emotional Orchestral Swell)
(Visual: Chief standing alone overlooking glassed landscape.)
I WALK ALONE ON HALF A RING,
A SOLDIER WITH NO ONE LEFT TO BRING,
THE WAR IS QUIET—BUT IT STILL SINGS
INSIDE MY HEAD.
ECHOES OF YOU IN EVERY CODE,
IN EVERY PATH I WALK ALONE,
IF THIS IS WHAT SURVIVAL MEANS—
WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE I’M ALREADY GONE?
(Verse 2 – Distant Drums Begin)
(Visual: Grunts and Brutes patrolling ruins. Chief watching silently.)
They took the skies, they took the ground,
Left only silence all around,
Grunts laughing in the smoke below…
Brutes building thrones from what we know.
The resistance died to wake me here,
A final spark born out of fear,
They gave their lives for one more stand—
Now I carry all of them.
(Pre-Chorus – Choir Builds)
(Cortana echo clearer, but broken)
“Don’t let me fade…”
Your voice fractures through my mind,
Not whole… just shards I cannot find,
If I erase you from the pain—
Do I erase what made me sane?
(CHORUS – Bigger, Painful, Powerful)
I WALK ALONE ON SHATTERED GLASS,
THE FUTURE BURIED IN THE PAST,
THEY CALL ME SAVIOR—CALL ME LAST—
BUT I’M JUST A MAN IN ARMOR.
THE STARS DON’T ANSWER WHEN I SPEAK,
THE STRONGEST SOLDIER STILL FEELS WEAK,
IF I WIN THIS WAR AND END THE FIGHT—
WHO’S LEFT TO SEE THE LIGHT?
(Bridge – Music Drops to Heartbeat + Breathing)
(Visual: Chief removes helmet slightly. Silence.)
Am I a weapon…
Or a memory?
Was I built to end the war…
Or just outlive everybody?
If you’re still inside this shell of steel…
Tell me what is real.
(Final Build – Choir + Heavy Drums Begin)
(Visual: Chief loading weapon. Walking toward enemy fortress.)
They think the ring is theirs to own,
They think the last light’s overthrown,
But I was forged in darker space—
And loss does not erase from my face..
(FINAL CHORUS – EPIC + TRAGIC)
I STAND ALONE ON HALF A RING,
BUT STILL I HEAR YOUR VOICE THAT SINGS,
NOT RAMPANT—NOT A BROKEN THING—
BUT SOMETHING HUMAN.
IF I MUST BE THE LAST ONE LEFT,
I’LL TURN THIS VOID INTO MY BREATH,
FOR EVERY FALLEN, EVERY NAME—
I’LL SET THE STARS AFLAME.
(Outro–Piano+Fading AI Whisper)
(Visual: Chief walking into sunrise across broken ring horizon.)
“John…”
(Pause)
I’m still here.
(Longer Pause)
And I’m not done with them yet..
