Dan Bull - Gears of War lyrics
Daniel “Dan” Bull
[Dan Bull - Gears of War lyrics]
Emergence Day, emergency, thunder sounded
And a hundred thousand locust
Rose up from underground
The invasion managed to create a
Manic state of panic they did damage and it
Made a devestated planet today was savage
The latest in a spate of clashes
Between invader and remains of man
That came from ashes
See Marcus Fenix in Jacinto Penitentiary
Dominic Santiago enters then he sets him free
To defend against the horde he brought
All sorts of awesome weaponry
Bring all your forces forward
Your corpser's dead to me
Him and Dom find Kim and
Carmine and together they took
A look around for Alpha Squad
To get the resonator
A sniper snipes Carmine right in
The head and later
They catch the Cole Train and
Press on the accelerator
Seeders block the transmission
Nearly stopped the damn mission
Is that the Hammer of Dawn
That Dom is brandishing?
Every soldier's ambition is to fire one
A line of lightning
Striking right in from the sky, you're gone
Look, there's Baird and a
Couple of redshirts, hmm
I wonder which one of them will be dead first
It can't be Kim
Can it? That man's put in the legwork
Ooh, feckin' heck, I bet his bloody head hurt
Now, Fenix has seen this and
He's pissed in extremist
But needs to just retreat quick lest
He gets in deep shit
It's certainly evident he is ready
To burn an effigy
But there is a mercenary berzerker lurking
In the murk of every turn you step in
One of the perks of military
Work is getting to
Murder every enemy ever so cleverly
With the heaviest weaponry
Boom! Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for! Boom!
Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for!
As the planet plummets ever
Further into instability
The Gears receive a missive
Of massive responsibility
To take the resonator
In the face of all futility
And place it in the Lethiaimulsion Facility
Their aim is to make it
To the makeshift bunker
The place where the stranded stay
And take this junker
The stranded Franklin says that they
Can take the tank but in exchange
Cole and Baird must stay to aid the camp
So, Dom and Marcus then head
Off into the darkness
They'll probably end up carcasses
But soldier on regardless
They watch the light and dodge
The night using skill
Co-op, cunning and guile style to
Fight through the kryll
This type of thing takes balls
Call it castration
Finally they make it through the
Horde toward the gas station
It's not quite right
The way they use the spotlight
Nah, that kind of ingenuity
Is fricking godlike
Turning the torch on 'em
Burning and scorching 'em
Arriving at the fort in time
To support the slaughterin'
Shoot the guys that aren't human
Target neutralised
This brutal life will leave your
Psyche scarred and brutalised
Boom! Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for! Boom!
Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for!
With the mining facility in literal proximity
Their ride begins to give off
Signs of critical toxicity
It's like a syzygy between
Their fate and electricity
They're lucky the place
Has pedestrian accessibility
This utility is a subterranean fortress
So, they fought hordes 'til they're deader
Than this corpser's corpse is
If it's the belly of the beast
The neck's an elevator
It'll need some rennie when
They detonate the resonator
The situation's escelating so
They'd better get away
The locust horde are gonna have
To call a decorator ready to let it blow
They can clear the mess up later
But computer says, "No
I couldn't get the data"
It's late in the day to
Call up technical support
But they've already put in far
Too much effort to abort, sure
But thankfully Baird appears to
Be somewhat prepared
He found a map and plus just
Happens to have got it there
He's a proper COG look at his goggles
Hair and general masculinity
That should be bottled, yeah
There'd be romance between us if
He never had a penis and anyway
His sights are set on finding Adam Fenix
One of the staff of the
East Barricade Academy is-
As well as being Marcus's
Dad an apparent genius
So, they start for his lab with only
Half of the manpower they had
These COGs have gotta be mad
Boom! Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for! Boom!
Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for!
Humanity's panicking
There's nobody left to save 'em but wait
The COGs are dropping from the
Sky inside a raven
The finest specimens of homosapiens anatomy
Collectively heading to the
East barricade academy
Their aim's to get rid
Of an alien supremacist
Go back to genesis but hang on
There's a Nemacyst
It's gone and shot them with spores
The chopper is lost
The situation's getting proper debauched
It started bad enough but now
It's snowballed
They have to battle their way back
Into the mansion like Toad Hall
Which is a load more difficult than A-B-C
But luckily they see an APC but it's DOA
See? This is just their luck
So, Baird and Cole get to
Business fixing up their truck
They need to bolt quick as if they bust a nut
And blustered right into the
Middle of a clusterfuck
While this is happening there's
Battling inside the mansion
Marcus regrets bringing his work
Home like Bryan Cranston
This is a right branston pickle
Who'll provide the answers?
While the science is downloading
We rely on Lancers
It's time to pack your bags and
Tighten up your do rag
A futuristic 2Pac in a feudalistic gulag
New tactic, taking flight from the pursuit
Of this big Brumak
The damage is higher than the avarage
Price is of a new Mac
Boom! Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for! Boom!
Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for!
Now, act five, an act of desperation
There's a cold train coming so
They head to the station
They never had the patience for
A first class pass
Besides, that carriage is reserved to
Carry the light mass pulses racing
They will need to bypass
The whole bloody station
To survive upon the right track
Marcus and Dom get on with
Cole and Baird behind
Crap, the final chapter's not designed
To happen like that it's time to strike back
General RAAM is going down shafted
Like Skywalker's right arm
Marcus sees the train is heading
Straight into a ridge
So, he sets the light mass off
And takes it to the bridge
Engine, engine, General RAAM
How do you like that light mass bomb?
When that train goes off the track
Sssskrak-a rakk-a-rrrakka, catch one grub
Boom, shake shake shake the room
Boom, shake shake shake the room
Boom, shake shake shake the room
Tick, tick, tick, boom
Hooah! We are the Gears of War
Come on and ask us what
The motherfuck we're here for! Boom!
Hooah! We are the Gears of War
