The Ballad of Master Chief

 

Gather 'round ye folks, and listen well,

I've a tale of a hero that I'd like to tell.

He finished the fight and remembered Reach;

This is the ballad of Master Chief.

 

Well way back when during the great war

When the Covenant near blew up the corps

There was a man, a great hero

Though where he came from, I don't know.

 

He had some armor, a nice shade of green

His AI Cortana, and an M-Ninety.

He sent a lot of Covenant six feet beneath

He's the Spartan that folks call Master Chief.

 

This is the tale of a soldier brave

Who for humanity he fought to save.

He finished the fight and remembered Reach;

This is the ballad of Master Chief.

 

With Cortana, Sergeant Johnson, and the Captain, Keyes,

Chief managed to survive the fall of Reach.

They fled on over to this funny lookin' ring,

Little did they know that it was an important thing.

 

After a rude awakening, and a bumpy ride,

Chief saved some folks who would have died.

But someone messed up and released the Flood (that's bad)

And they got the Captain and did him in- Now that's just sad.

 

Come a swirl of explosions and bloody fights,

Master Chief had the Covenant in his sights.

He blew the Pillar of Autumn to bits of scrap,

And Halo came down, just like that.

 

This is the tale of a soldier brave

Who for humanity he fought to save.

He finished the fight and remembered Reach;

This is the ballad of Master Chief.

 

Well the Covenant were might ticked at this;

That the Master Chief had owned them like they were his.

Then the fight came down to Earth from there

And through it all Chief's armor didn't scratch or tear.

 

With Cortana in his head, and Johnson at his side

And Commander Miranda Keyes in a ship in the sky,

Chief shot all of the Covenant dead and done

But found that of the Halos, there were another half-dozen of them.

 

Chief saw the Covenan'ts flying city had gone down the drain,

From everywhere everyone was going Flood-insane.

Master Chief had to leave Cortana behind to sit

But he said he's be back- And he promised it.

 

This is the tale of a soldier brave

Who for humanity he fought to save.

He finished the fight and remembered Reach;

This is the Ballad of Master Chief.

 

Chief caught a ride on this giant Covenant ship thing

Which took both the Chief and his greatest enemies

Back to Earth where the corps still fought the fight

But where Arbiter and the Elites had joined our side.

 

Master Chief, Arby, Johnson, and Keyes too

Went with their forces to spill the Covenant's goo

They arrived where the Covenant had sat when they came

And Lord Hood said, "One final effort is all that remains!"

 

Now the Prophet of Truth had a similar plan

To activate the Halos and get a heck of a tan

He found what he was looking for right on the mark

A portal through which they could go to a place called the Ark.

 

This is the tale of a soldier brave

Who for humanity he fought to save.

He finished the fight and remembered Reach;

This is the end of the ballad of Master Chief.

 

But Cortana had a plan to fix everything good,

To get rid of the Flood, just like they should.

So Chief and the team went through the portal

To a place never seen by any non-Forerunner mortal.

 

The Ark, so they called it, was real big

With lots of things to fight and an even bigger battle to win.

Well not everybody knows just what happened then

But most people will tell you this nine times out of ten:

 

Chief saved Cortana, and Johnson & Keyes got slain

Though Master Chief and the Arbiter avenged then both that same day.

They had to save the day by blowing the Ark sky-high

And though Arby made it back, he's not sure if Chief lived or died.

 

This is the tale of a soldier brave

Who for humanity he fought to save.

He finished the fight and remembered Reach;

This is the end of the ballad of Master Chief.

 

Back on Earth, the war with the Covenant was over and done

The Covenant was broken and the Flood weren't seen by anyone.

Nowadays humans and Elites both live in peace,

But they'll tell you it was all because of the Master Chief.

 

This is the tale of a soldier brave

Who for humanity he fought to save.

He finished the fight and remembered Reach;

This is the end of the ballad of Master Chief.

I wrote this song in my spare time. It goes somewhat to the tune of the Ballad of Serenity, if that is of any help. I wrote is from the perspective of a marine who survived the war and wrote a song. Possibly Chips Dubbo.
