The Last Day of Remus

There was a ... starship ... heading to the ground
And our fighters ... were nowhere to be found.
And a man on a base tried to fight one more round,
Sayin' "everybody here gonna die,
Oh Yeah."
Sayin' "everybody here gonna die."

There were some starships ... out in near orbit,
But the warnings they issued they could not transmit,
And from three thousand miles it was sure gonna hit,
And a man kept fighting his war.

Dancing around in the earthquake he said,
"That a man if he's livin' would envy the dead."
And he opened his eyes to the oncoming dread,
And he said, "Now it won't be too long."

There was a ... starship ... heading to the ground
And our fighters ... were nowhere to be found.
And a man on a base tried to fight one more round,
Sayin' "everybody here gonna die,
Oh Yeah."
Sayin' "everybody here gonna die."

The gunboats they gathered from stars all around,
For the last day of Remus they all would be found
And the starship came down with a deafening sound,
And the sirens started to wail.

The reactor blew and the warriors all died,
When somebody screamed that the Praetor had lied.
But the damage was done and the city was fried,
And the planet was lost in the end.

There was a ... starship ... heading to the ground
And our fighters ... were nowhere to be found.
And a man on a base tried to fight one more round,
Sayin' "everybody here gonna die,
Oh Yeah."
Sayin' "everybody here gonna die."
