    In the original Halo 2 this song plays towards the end the level Gravemind in the Covenant Holy City High Charity. It's the very difficult part where Cortana says "You might want to sit this one out," and the Brutes are fighting the Elites and Hunters. There's no lyrics in the game version, it's just the instrumental version of the song. I'm not sure why it wasn't included in the Anniversary edition, maybe the game studio didn't want to pay Breaking Benjamin more money.

      It’s still there in old graphics, so it wasn’t at risk of being removed from the game or anything if they didn’t pay to renew copyright or something. They genuinely just wanted a new song for new graphics

    Ah yes....the theme song of when you just suddenly 'switch on' in Halo multiplayer and proceed from getting stomped to pulling a Killionaire in under a minute....or so the Halo 2/3 montages from back in 2007 would have me believe.

    isn't Halo 2 unironically the coolest thing ever?
    This song is about the Master Chief. "I'll be the one to save us all."
    Breaking Benjamin realized the severity of the state of Humanity in Halo, and Master Chief ended up getting 'lucky' and saving Humanity while simultaneously destroying the Covenant.
    This ended up aging very well. Long live Halo lol
