We tell a song of warrior brave,
And right the story set;
We shun the Truth and sing of thee
The Prophet of Regret.
He charged to sacred ruins old,
There not to be unmet
By foes whose plan was to withhold
The Prophet of Regret.
His ships were vast, his courage wrought,
His plan was sure, and yet
The humans and the Demon fought
The Prophet of Regret.
His mighty surge down to the Earth
Cast wide his silhouette;
The human army fought with dearth
The Prophet of Regret.
Though caught by enemies off guard,
And fraught with fateful fret,
Still on fought he with navy scarred
The Prophet of Regret.
Yet now outnumbered he did plead,
He called all to abet
The Covenant in time of need
The Prophet of Regret.
He called, and pled, yet they came not
For Truth issued his threat,
And demonized the brilliant plot
Of Prophet of Regret.
Now, faced with flight or certain doom,
Impossibly beset,
He made his choice to flee the gloom,
The Prophet of Regret.
To Halo fled he, swift, and still;
The humans pursued yet;
The desperate hierarch to kill,
A move they would regret.
The Demon they unleashed on us,
Our courage to upset;
Like a scourge he slaughtered thus
The Prophet of Regret.
Though hard fought he, and mightily
Still, Demon was to get
On Halo cursed victory
Oh, warrior Regret!
The human fools have now released
That ancient evil flood,
So many of our long deceased
Kept prisoned with their blood.
The Forerunner are now above
With humans most upset:
They did not heed the warnings of
The Prophet of Regret.
They won, you say; or, nay, we lost,
No challenge overcame.
To you I say, what is the cost
Of icon there to claim?
The Sangheii now lay desolate
Their power stripped by Truth;
It seems his plan was intricate
To replace us with Brute.
Now, my brothers, I ask you,
Who will you not forget?
I hope for hope, our race's friend,
The Prophet of Regret!
