[Verse]
There was only one ship, Pillar of Autumn
Its escape marked my greatest burden
The Parasite attacked, I learned of the Demon
I wished to continue fighting the humans

[Pre-Chorus]
On my knees, I am already dead
My sentence stood fully appointed
If they came to hear me beg
Then they will be disappointed

[Chorus]
Honor is restored only from the ashes
Authority ends once truth surpasses
I follow directives verified through
What would you have your Arbiter do?

[Verse]
The heretic was taught blasphemous lies
Statements violated Covenant mandates
Tartarus appeared, command structure fractured
That is the Oracle that he just captured

[Pre-Chorus]
Retrieving the Icon was my only concern
But hierarchy shifted, loyalty overturned
My life was weighed for sacrifice
The Prophets had ordered my demise

[Chorus]
Honor is restored only from the ashes
Authority ends once truth surpasses
I follow directives verified through
What would you have the Arbiter do?

[Bridge]
The Demon and I were captured, sealed
I wanted to be released, or killed
Its voice insisted on continued reasoning
The parasite kept talking, I was listening
The Great Journey resulted in eradication
Halo functioned as systematic elimination
This truth forced my beliefs to realign
The ignorance wasn’t theirs, it was mine

[Chorus] x2
Honor is restored only from the ashes
Authority ends once truth surpasses
I follow directives verified through
The Arbiter knows what he must do

[Outro]
Tartarus, the Prophets have betrayed us
Their authority rested on false premises
The rings exist for sentient elimination
Not salvation, a system of execution
