Renaissance man and Gears of War fan Ice-T will lend his acting and musical talents to Epic Games’ new shooter, Gears of War 3. The rapper, actor and voice of Gears 3‘s Griffin has gotten the band (Body Count) back together for a special musical tribute, appropriately titled “The Gears of War.”
Ice-T’s thrash metal side project performed “The Gears of War” at an E3 2011 event, but now it can be enjoyed by everyone while set to all-new gameplay footage from the fall Xbox 360 game. To prevent awkwardly misheard lyrics, here is the poetic “The Gears of War” by Body Count.
(Watch out for bad language, kids!)
Gold Lancers, Longshots and Drone Guts
C-O-G got the swat gotta blood lust
Unlease the Krill fuck a boom shield
The Hammer of Dawn’ll make the Locust kneel
I’m a Hammerburst pro – Headshot Berserkers with the Torque Bow
I give a fuck about Horde
OG Marcus Fenix from the Pendulum Wars
Never Enough – WE WANT MORE
Body parts and brains
Blood on the floor
Never Afraid – WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
We Are – THE GEARS OF WAR
GEARS OF WAR
The Theron Guard tryin’ to go hard
Fuckin Snipers tryin’ to peel my cap
Make em fall back with a mortar attack
Dark Wretches on my ass get played with an INK GRENADE
Don’t make me torch ya with a Scorcher
Corpsers he got with the boomshot
blast you with my Gnasher
We are here to destroy those who oppose
Double barrel to your face
(shotgun blast)
We do not NEGOTIATE
Boomers get mulched up
My chainsaw’s all you feel – either that or COLD STEEL.
Never Enough – WE WANT MORE
Body parts and brains
Blood on the floor
Never Afraid – WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
We Are – THE GEARS OF WAR
Never Enough – WE WANT MORE
Body parts and brains
Blood on the floor
Never Afraid – WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
We Are – THE GEARS OF WAR
(Locust Voice)Locust Horde Attack
(Locust Voice) COG Attack
Never Enough – WE WANT MORE
Body parts and brains
Blood on the floor
Never Afraid – WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
We Are – THE GEARS OF WAR
Never Enough – WE WANT MORE
Body parts and brains
Blood on the floor
Never Afraid – WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
We Are – THE GEARS OF WAR
GEARS OF WAR
THE GEARS OF WAR
GEARS OF WAR
Gears of War 3 comes to Xbox 360 on September 20.
