Commander Shepard theme song reminds us that we'll never be as badass as Commander Shepard

In the distant future, when man has colonized the sun and whales have learned to form governments, our robotic children will sing tales of an ancient hero known as Commander Shepard. And those songs will sound like this...

Alright, so the whale part may never happen, but if BioWare really wants to up the awesome factor for Mass Effect 3, it'll consider using this as its intro. The song was created by a self-professed geek named miracleofsound, and the video was provided by MandaloreMovies.

The entire lyrics are as follows:

From Omega to Mars
From the Council to the seediest bars
From the reaches of space
To the pillars of Asari grace
There are battle-worn batarians lacking in humility
Turians a braggin’ bout their reach and flexibility
The clutter of the cities spreads to the loneliest stars
But no matter what scars you bear
Whatever uniform you wear
You can fight like a Krogan, run like a leopard
But you’ll never be better than Commander Shepard
In the Citadel’s halls
Inside the shining walls
Hear the stories from Earth
Fighters try to prove their worth
Salarian science smothered in idium
About as stimulating as scanning for irridium
But one tale holds every mind enthralled
Cos no matter what scars you bear
Whatever uniform you wear
You can fight like a Krogan, run like a leaopard
But you’ll never be better than Commander Shepard
COMMANDER SHEPARD!
Cos no matter what scars you bear
Whatever uniform you wear
You can fight like a Krogan, run like a leaopard
But you’ll never be better than Commander Shepard
Never be better than Commander Shepard
ASSUMING CONTROL

No sir, no we will not. Miracleofsound says his music is inspired by songs from his "geeky little brain" that sound "like Gordon Freeman battling Master Chief with two Lancers in an electrical shop.”
