For the record, this was not inspired by the Keep It Clean trailer. I don't think soemthing so uninformative could inspire anything.

Tides of War

The tides of war are surely turning,

There is no place to run.

Our enemy is numberless,

Blotting out the sun.

...

On Earth we have begun our stand,

Our backs up to the wall.

We'll never abandon this last fight,

Though long due is our fall.

...

On deserts barren, in oceans deep,

We'll battle against the foe.

Humans, Covenant, Separatists,

Going toe to toe.

...

We fight although we know the odds,

Are somewhere between nil and one.

Aliens here, aliens there,

Our work is never done.

...

Some of us do fight for vengeance,

Others out of love.

Death and destruction go hand in hand,

Like a pair of turtle doves.

...

This fight began long ago,

Though we've lost track of years.

The destruction of Harvest was,

The act that spawned our fears.

...

And now things have come to a head,

We've lost our last true gambles.

And to our destruction we,

All as one do amble.
