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!
