lyrics

(VERSE 1)

Orbital bombardments commenced at the crack of dawn,
Spectacular view from the shuttle as I plummet down.
Land and see a youngling fleeing for the shelter,
Horror in its eyes as I go helter-skelter.
Butchered where it stood, never stood a chance,
Poor little bastard's caught in our advance.
Mourned at the futility of their resistance.
Hoped for more in their fight for existence.
Took their world in a day, as predicted.
Cries for mercy, utterly rejected.

(Chorus)

On countless worlds, Knee-deep in action.
Terrestrials, Deserts, Oceans.
Saw them all in the wars of expansion.

Slaughtered beings of every denomination.
Arthropods, reptiles, crustaceans,
Killed them all in the wars of expansion.

Bled for the human race, the one true faction.
Pride, guilt, satisfaction.
Felt them all in the wars of expansion.

(VERSE 2)

Greetings from beloved Terra, home of the human race.
Salutations that bear tremendous terror cause a bullet's in your face.
An agent of death and mass destruction,
Proudly served the homeworld with distinction.
A dealer of lethal savage killing blows.
Personally ended the last of many Xenos.

(Chorus)

On countless worlds, Knee-deep in action.
Terrestrials, Deserts, Oceans.
Saw them all in the wars of expansion.

Slaughtered beings of every denomination.
Arthropods, reptiles, crustaceans,
Killed them all in the wars of expansion.

Bled for the human race, the one true faction.
Pride, guilt, satisfaction.
Felt them all in the wars of expansion.

An absolutely beautiful track. It truly invokes an image of a dystopian cyberpunk world in the head of the listener, and brings its characters to life. pbjis2op4me

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear

I first heard "Fly For Your Life" in a game trailer and I've been hooked since. Songs for hard bitten optimists and joyful nihilists. 𝕎𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕣
