Blow Me Away

Music from HALO 2 video game Written by Ben Burnley, edited by Dan Karneff, mixed and produced by David Dendeth at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennesee ... but is obviously NOT a country song!! Also released in 2004 on So Cold (Track 2) by Hollywood Studios. Interpretation by Terry Wilson (Featherwing Love): The singer is apparently a military leader and highly skilled combatant (not necessarily the Master Chief) giving a grim pep talk to his troops before a battle he's expecting to lose.

[Verse 1: Ben] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Ben] Fire your guns It's time to run Blow me away I will stay unless I may After the fall We'll shake it off Show me the way [Chorus: Ben / Syd] Only the strongest will survive Lead me to heaven when we die I have a shadow on the wall I'll be the one to save us all [Verse 2: Ben] 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 Knowing that I will walk alone [Pre-Chorus] Fire your guns It's time to run Blow me away I will stay unless I may After the fall We'll shake it off Show me the way [Chorus: Ben / Syd] Only the strongest will survive Lead me to heaven when we die I have a shadow on the wall I'll be the one to save us all [Bridge: Ben] You wanted it back Don't make me beg [Bridge: Syd] Don't make me beg! Enough! Die! Blow me away [Chorus: Ben / Syd] Only the strongest will survive Lead me to heaven when we die I have a shadow on the wall I'll be the one to save us all Save us all
