They call me Commander Shephard I mess up geth whenever they get together Uh, no you never can escape a Spectre And you can't get better than my kill/death record Cuz I died once, won't happen twice Thanks Cerberus, now get a life This war ain't just about humans I'm tryna keep the galaxy from going to ruins
Doesn't matter what planet you're from, Cuz it will not last for long We must attack when they come back from black space Or the Reapers will have won I have a passion that burns on Earth is a world I can't turn on Matter of fact I will protect all with the mass effect that's in my palm, WHAT
CHORUS: You know I'll always be by your side (I'm never leavin' you) And when the chips are down, we'll survive (We're gonna make it through) Looks like the Reapers finally found (I think they met their match) The ones who'll never go down (We're never goin' down) It's time to set our backgrounds aside (So just forget about) And the galaxy shall unite (We fight together now) Then we'll burn as bright as the sun (We're burnin' bright) To show 'em we are one
Uh, Tali and Garrus, Robots don't mess with us Dropkickin' drones, headshottin' husks Even Reapers think that we're dangerous So you really think that you can take us down? Well you're gonna die quick if you hang around Because I eat Collectors every day for lunch With some Krogan soup, no offense Grunt
And when the sun sets in the west I swear it'll rise again Children of Earth, you can depend On every man and turian We're gonna take on this deadly infection With a stock supply of every heavy weapon From the Firestorm to the Arc Projector I'm the intergalactic space protector
For every friend I've lost, I'll make ten Reapers pay And double that for every enemy that's in my way It's on my shoulders now It's time to make stand Now planet Earth you need a savior Let me be your man
<CHORUS>
I've lost a lotta men, And I've seen their broken hearts Now we're all lookin' for revenge, Because this is where it starts Every 50,000 years, You annihilate every form of life We will not be the ones that take it easy Cuz we won't go silent without a fight Now take a good look at the planet That you're landin' on Cuz we're the ones That will be standin' by the time you're gone Every choice that I've made is gonna effect me somehow Now Ashley Williams is back? Damn, this is awkward as hell
But I got this far and I haven't had a break And the human-reaper was a piece of cake Even Saren Arterius got the axe When I fried his brain and kicked Sovereign's ass So Council listen up, I got a favor to ask Send out your strongest representatives, I'll take nothin' less
Because I've dealt with these goddamn machines So freakin' long it's a damn routine It's an all-out war for the galaxy No time to run, nevermind to sleep I will not back down or accept defeat Until they run out of batteries So don't panic when you see the Reaper fleet Because in outer space, no one hears you scream
I always knew that I was born to do something great Except this ain't Bioshock, cuz I'm a man, not a slave You ugly Reapers ain't controllin' my mind You might've pulled that stunt before but you will not this time
