lyrics

VERSE 1
Wake up, John. You're finally needed
It's been 4 years since the Covies were defeated
You finished the fight, but now you're just getting started
As you float off through galaxies uncharted

There's not much left of the Forward Unto Dawn
So watch your step, you know you can't respawn
For when Cortana wakes you from your sleep, you gotta make a promise that you know you can keep

What's that? It's the UNSC Infinity
Emerging from the clouds with its brilliant divinity
Not landing, rather crashing to the ground
Get to it quick, because the Didact's inbound

There's a whole handful of new enemies to fight
The Promethan Crawler, the Watcher, the Knight
Hop into a Mantis, Warthog, or a Ghost, run forward into battle shouting out AXIOS!

CHORUS
Save Cortana, face the Didact, blow some stuff up, and don't look back
Requim is waiting for you, grab your BR, you know what you gotta do
Save Cortana, face the Didact, blow some stuff up, and don't look back
Requim is waiting for you, grab your BR, go do what you gotta do

VERSE 2
Pimp, out, your Spartan IV
Cuz we be on Infinity playing games like War
You've never seen a player like me before
Get a sniper and go sneaking, up, on your back door
Headshot, BOOM, I'm raising my score
SR-1 to SR-SOME MORE
Specializations are all mine to explore
Got armour so sick that you can't ignore

Impact, Solace, Revine, Complex
Ragnarok, Erosion what map will be next?
Each one better than the previous one
And I just can't wait to have some fun
Forge Mode's SICK, it's got all the new features
And I can't wait for the Campaign's new creatures
But one mode's gonna beat out all the rest
It's War Games son, and it's gonna be the best.

CHORUS
Save Cortana, face the Didact, blow some stuff up, and don't look back
Requim is waiting for you, grab your BR, you know what you gotta do
Save Cortana, face the Didact, blow some stuff up, and don't look back
Requim is waiting for you, grab your BR, go do what you gotta do

BRIDGE
Lasky, Del rio, Master chief and more
Bear witness to the revolution known as Halo 4
War Games, Spartan Ops, Theatre and Forge
Packed so full of game modes that your eyes they will engorge

Requiem awaits, it's gonna be a test
Cortana's got your back, she knows what to suggest
So puff up your chest, you gotta be the best
The best of the best of the best of the best

November 6th approaches and I want you all to hear
Precicely what I'm doing when the game is getting near
I'm buying some Doritos, Mountain Dew, and Micky Ds
Getting double XP so I'm ranking up with ease

Battle, Assault, and Designated Marksman rifles
Comin at you so deadly that you can't focus you will stifle
Every single breath you take you're gonna wish you had another
If you're bringing a controller then you know you are my brother

CHORUS
Save Cortana, face the Didact, blow some stuff up, and don't look back
Requim is waiting for you, grab your BR, you know what you gotta do
Save Cortana, face the Didact, blow some stuff up, and don't look back
Requim is waiting for you, grab your BR, go do what you gotta do
