We Are the Line

Far from home, where the beacons die, I hear a heartbeat in the hull. Through the smoke of a wounded sky, I hear the old engines pull. Infinity... Infinity... We launched like a city with Earth in our chest, A thousand small lives in a fortress of steel. Not just a weapon, not just a crest, But a home in the dark Where the brave learned to heal. From Requiem's shadow to Zeta's broken ring, We carried the names that the stars never knew. Pilots and medics, the lost and the living, All hands together when the red storm blew. When the Banished broke the heavens When the ring tore open wide We did not kneel to silence, We became the tide. We are Infinity, Steel hearts in the storm. We are Infinity, From the ashes we are born. Hold the line for every soul Who never reached the dawn. If the flagship falls from the sky, The crew still carries on. We are Infinity, We are the line. Zeta Halo, cold horizon, Red war-banners on the ground. We made shelter out of wreckage, Turned our losses into sound. Lasky's voice cut through the panic, Get them out and keep them alive. Every lifeboat was a lantern, Every oath a reason to survive. No home port, no easy morning No stars to guide us through But in the dark we found each other, And the fire grew. We are Infinity, Steel hearts in the storm. We are Infinity, From the ashes we are born. Hold the line for every soul Who never reached the dawn. If the flagship falls from the sky, The crew still carries on. We are Infinity, We are the line. To the ones still missing To the names we cannot know To the decks that burned above us To the ring below We lift the signal higher, We raise it through the night. Infinity was never only metal, Infinity is why we fight. Forward through the fire! Forward through the fear! UNSC, hear us- We are still here! Banished at the gates! Stars against our backs! Light the broken ring- We are coming back! We are Infinity, Steel hearts in the storm. We are Infinity, From the ashes we are born. Hold the line for every soul Who never reached the dawn. If the flagship falls from the sky, The crew still carries on. We are Infinity, No grave can hold our name. We are Infinity, One crew, one oath, one flame. Across the void, across the war, Across the shattered dawn- When the universe forgets our light, The crew still carries on. We are Infinity, We are the line. When the last transmission fades... When the stars forget our name... One crew, one oath, one flame. UNSC Infinity remains.
