Until The End - Breaking Benjamin
Black Hawk Down’s one of my favourite war movies of all time. Then again, I just love all war movies. Anything involving some good explosions, it’s my type of movie. And Breaking Benjamin is a really badass band.
“So clever, whatever, I’m done with these endeavors
Alone I’ll walk the winding way (here I stay)
It’s over, no longer, I feel it growing stronger
I live to die another day, until I fade away
Why give up? Why give in?
It’s not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We’ve become, desolate
It’s not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end”

Black Hawk Down was scored by the incredibly talented Hans Zimmer, who recently scored the mind-bending masterpiece, Inception.
Translated Lyrics:
I was waiting, waiting for a long time
In the dark shadow of grey towers
In the dark shadow of grey towers
In the dark shadow of rain towers
You will see me waiting forever
You will see me waiting forever
One day it will come back
Over the lands, over the seas
The green wind will return
And take back with it my wounded heart
I will be pulled away by its breath
Far away in the stream, wherever it wishes
Wherever it wishes, far away from this world
Between the sea and the stars
