They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady your hand
(I am losing sight again)
[Bridge]
Fire your gun,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.
[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Leave me in heaven when we die,
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/breaking_benjamin/blow_me_away.html ]
There's nothing left,
So save your breath,
Lying in wait.
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown,
Nowhere to go,
Holding your fate.
(Loaded I will walk alone)
[Bridge]
Fire your guns,
It's time to run,
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off,
Show me the way.
[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Leave me in heaven when we die,
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all.
Wanting it back
(Don't make me mad! )
Back off! (held out for about 2 seconds)
(Die! (held out for approx. 5 seconds))
[Chorus]
Only the strongest will survive,
Leave me in heaven when we die,
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all...
Well the song was made for the halo 2 soundtrack, so i'd imagine its about the master chief and his marines taking a vantage point over a covenant encampment, waiting to take the shot. Then after the chief gives the all clear they all fire, thus losing their cover. Now its just a matter of who can survive the longest, meaning the master chief and a few choice marines.
I think its about a big revolution where ur only ally is your bretheren and ny1 else must die or kill you but the winner of the battle is always the same.
