"Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the courageous taste death only once." -William Shakespeare


From the age of 10, they were conscripted.
Who knew from their homes they so far drifted?
They were made into a very good killing machine.
Made for war, they were stitched at the seams.

Made for the battle, they fought with all their fight.
New hope had sprung and people saw new light.
The enemy Covies couldn't even see it coming.
They all started dropping and the rest went a-running.

The humans prepared for a war and so far outnumbered
But the warriors gave them hope and for war, they were armored.
The ultimate battle was just about to begin.
The next scenes will make even the most hardened solider spin.

Some warriors didn't make it and this, a sad sight
But now they earned the rest they lost at night.
Their lives may be over, but do not be sad.
They fought with every ounce of power they had.

Now they still fight to this very day
And if they had a choice, they would have it no other way.
They handled everything from gunfights to Covie reactions.
Spartans never die. They're just missing in action.
