Arbiter's Oath - Cut Through the Lies
Halo · Arbiter
The story in the song
This original song is written as a tribute to The Arbiter — the warrior who was cast down, weaponized by lies, and then chose truth over blind faith. It’s a cinematic symphonic-rock anthem about betrayal, awakening, and redemption, capturing the moment when obedience breaks and honor is redefined.
The song moves through the false promise of the Great Journey, the revelation of the Halo rings, the fall of the Prophets, and the alliance forged in fire. It reframes honor not as obedience, but as the courage to see clearly — and still stand. This is the sound of a warrior cutting himself free from mythology and choosing a future written by action, not scripture.

Lyrics
Arbiter…
Arbiter…
Arbiter…
I wore their banners into battle,
wore their faith like armor
Then they stripped my name in
silence, branded me “the Arbiter”
A blade in my hand, a death march in my chest
Sent to prove devotion with every step to the test
But the ring was not a heaven—it was a loaded gun
So I turned my face to truth
and let the old lies run
Say it plain, hear it echo
Every scripture hid a snare
If they ask for blood for paradise
I’ll drag their darkness into air
ARBITER’S OATH: CUT THROUGH THE LIES!
ARBITER’S OATH: CUT THROUGH THE LIES!
Burn the false gods out of the sky
Side by side, we choose to rise
ARBITER’S OATH: CUT THROUGH THE LIES!
Who breaks the chain? — The Arbiter!
Who speaks the truth? — The Arbiter!
I met the Demon in the smoke,
two ghosts with different flags
Found honor in the crossfire,
in the scars we never brag
Flood at the gate, prophets at the throne
We walked through fire to end what they had sown
When Truth reached for the
galaxy, claiming it as his prize
My blade wrote the answer: cut through the lies
Honor isn’t blind obedience,
it’s seeing and still standing
Forged in the fall, remade in the landing
Let Sanghelios remember, let the stars agree
We are not their “Great
Journey”—we are finally free
ARBITER’S OATH: CUT THROUGH THE LIES!
ARBITER’S OATH: CUT THROUGH THE LIES!
From broken rings to a brand-new sky
Side by side, we choose to rise
ARBITER’S OATH: CUT THROUGH THE LIES!
Not a pawn, not a prayer—just a warrior alive
Arbiter’s Oath… cut through the lies
