HELLDIVERS 2 | Blood Upon the Risers

Published 2024-02-23
This is a video I wanted to make for a long time for Halo ODST, ever since I heard Cannon Division's version of Blood Upon the Risers, and then I finally remembered this project when Helldivers 2 came out. I think it fits much better than it would have for Halo.

sorry if some of the editing is crappy, I don't have a lot of experience and there was JUST enough footage for me to use to make this video.

I hope you enjoy, Helldivers! :)

    He was just a rookie diver and he surely shook with fright He checked off his equipment and made sure his pod was right He had to.sit and listen to that awful engines roar and he ain't gonna dive no more Gory gory what a hell of a way to die Gory Gory what a hell of a way to die Gory Gory what a hell of a way to die and he ain't gonna dive no more Is everybody happy cried the squad lead over comms Our hero bravely answered yes as countdown ticked along He launched into the atmosphere the thruster jets did roar, and he ain't gonna dive no more (Chorus) Gory Gory what a hell of a final dive Gory Gory what a hell of a final dive Gory Gory what a hell of a final dive And he ain't gonna dive no more He waited on, he waited long he was ready for the fight He'd face the fierce automatons, he'd win the war tonight His pod took flak, knocked off the hatch, into the sky he's thrown And he ain't gonna dive no more (Chorus) The gun was sucked from his hands, grenades were thrown about His cape it trailed behind him as he started to cry out "Oh God, oh sweet liberty, I won't be coming out!" And he ain't gonna dive no more (Chorus) The days he'd dove and fought and won kept running through his mind He thought about that freedom's light ever on would shine He thought about his mother and he hoped that she'd be fine and he ain't gonna dive no more (Chorus) A final thought went through him, he had feared that he had failed He thought he got his squadmates killed but still a hope prevailed That they would make it out of here, they'd surely win the war and he ain't gonna dive no more (Chorus) But there was blood around the drop zone, there were guts upon the pods His squadmates were a gun-ned down by endless hordes of bots Command was called and so they launched a final rescue op, but they ain't gonna dive no more Gory, Gory, what a hell of a final dive Gory, Gory, what a hell of a final dive Gory, Gory, what a hell of a final dive And they ain't gonna dive no more! Edit: I'm gonna add verses as I go on so that's what the edit mark is Final edit: I think it's done. Thanks to the other gents who threw in verses. If anyone ever makes this a proper song, feel free to add those in as well BTW, I'm bloody glad y'all are liking this. Full permission to whoever wants to give a voice to these lyrics, as I'll probably never get around to it Holy good lord above, thanks all for 1k likes!

    "This is Super Earth Propaganda" You're right and sweet liberty it worked. Helldivers to hellpods

    The great part is that sci-fi elites like Helldivers, ODSTs, and MI are just logical continuations of the paratrooper

    this is the second fan made trailer ive seen come up now. this is the only game ive ever seen where people loved it so much they made high end trailers to get other people invested into it. The whole community is actively trying to bring in as many new people as possible by any means necessary and its one of the most incredibly uniting and beautiful things ive seen in my time as a gamer. Spill oil for Managed Democracy! The Creek shall never back down!
  • Can't beleive how blood upon the risers really fits with Helldivers! Militaristic on the surface but extremely sarcastic and grim given the lyrics.
  • @DakkaDakka12
    Kinda funny that it took this long to hear Helldivers with Blood Upon the Risers.

    I got goosebumps. I’m a disabled vet from Afghanistan. Reminds me of when I was still useful.
  • @libby5184
    101st Airborne here, this hits home. This is such a beautiful edit, it perfectly captures the spirit of a Helldiver.
  • I just realized, once we get the mech, Malevelon Creek might be do able, but I'm just a United Citizen, I'm not 100% sure, as I've never experienced the creek myself.
  • @cgallegos2106
    Honestly, this is a perfect addition to the trailer. Feels and sounds very professionally done. Heck the timing with the music fits amazingly.
  • @countcampula
    This goes so hard, absolutely love it Freedom never rests

    The best way that I've heard this game is that: "It scratches my male biological clock to die heroically in a war"
