Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Off the top of my head, I think they did. I checked wikipedia, and it looks like the first release of the song was on the Halo 2 soundtrack, which suggests that it was written for the game.
Since the band didn't release an album for quite a while after the song came out, it doesn't seem like they just borrowed an existing song for the game either. Unless someone knows differently (there might be an interview about it somewhere), I'd have to say, again, that I'm pretty sure the song was a Halo 2 original.
