[Verse 1: Jerome Chance]
Stolen from his home
As a boy he was cloned
To disguise the disruption
Government corruption

Trained and rebrained
He was living unexplained with
Several dozen other kids
Living all the same

First and the last name?
Thing of the past
To keep him unencumbered
To them he's just a number

Technology, biology
Cubernetics augmenting
His actions and reactions but
Numbers turned to fractions

The procedure wouldn't give
Only 33 lived!
Enough if they're tough
As the Agean Sea breed

Briefed on a new threat
Hoping for relief
An alliance of races
Sowing devastation

Bore witness to the light
But he had to leave the fight
His brothers held the fort
As he made off in the night

Off into the deep
In a cryogenic sleep
With the light to show his enemies
They've sown what they reaped

[Verse 2: Jerome Chance]
Awaken from his slumber
His ship was going under
Crashed on the Halo
Discovered the Forerunners

Parasite left over still
Halo was overkill but
Light preserved life
They returned to the strife

First strike as Justice sent
He rejoined brethren
Plus he rediscovered the
Mother of his brothers

The teaming was incredible
Delaying the inevitable
Awarded meritorious
Aliens inglorious

Amber clad Assassin
Regret to be known!
The parasite had grown a
Mind of its own

So he was sent with light to
Finish the fight
On the home of his race
With his foe he would chase

The most destructive enemy
The galaxy had faced
Victorious allied and
Heroes Never Die

By the light followed truth
Through the light brought the law
With the light he moved forward;
Forward Unto Dawn

To 300 of your best
He'll tell you where he's from
And stick his boot up in your chest!
