Red Alert

Screaming through the stars
Emptiness told in years
A mission to learn of the final frontier
Our ship is our home
And we have no want
Except to know the truth of
What is and what is not
With each passing day
With all this power
We move farther away
And closer to the hour

Cyber-optic eyes
See a threat from beyond
Open the channel, send the hail
Greetings we come in peace
Their answer is silence
Their energy released

Shields up, red alert
Photon blasts and phaser bursts
Shields up, red alert
A light speed war to save the earth
Shields up, red alert
Shields up, red alert

We never interfere
We live and let live
But war's horizon
Takes all we have to give
We brought them here
Our vanity prevailed
We never believed
We may be doomed to fail
Be at the ready
Here we make our stand
In defense of our faith and of our land

Taken our leader
Drops from sight
Pulled away into the darkest night
Fire blinds the stars
And death fills the air
Pushing onward
Can we survive?

Shields up, red alert
Photon blasts and phaser bursts
Shields up, red alert
Come at us and do your worst
Shields up, red alert
A light speed war to save the earth
Shields up, red alert

Marvelous machine
Galactic in design
Save us now from our enemy allied
With all we stand against
No freedom of choice
They take you apart
Speaking with one voice

Your people follow you
You are strongest
We bring you to service us
Strength-irrelevant
Culture-irrelevant
So go your dreams
Of peaceful development
By authority you are driven
We are one and all
A single perfect vision
Invisible machines join you to us
Stripped of your voice
Now you speak for us
Body replaced with perfect devices
Soul swallowed up
By this cube's prowess
Determine as you will, we will adapt
Your death is futile, so too resistance!

How, how do we fight them now
We hit 'em with all we've got
They've learned to adapt
And are never going to stop
Our allies arrive, but long past the time
Now they are fodder for the hive
Tearing space apart
At the ferris star
There we will bury
Our cosmic hearts

Valor we show, never stop the fight
Our ship like a sword
Bring back the light
We stare into hell
This is our last chance
With power of mind
Scream the last command!

Shields up, red alert!
