about

Thrust out of cryosleep, the Mors Navis finds itself in the middle of a space battle between a small scrappy ship and a gargantuan sized alien vessel.

lyrics

Through waking cloudy sight
A ship prepared to fight
A towering vessel stands before

This flashing in my eyes
Computers come online
Prepare the weapons now for war

The fates are on our side
To battle now we ride

Not again…
Listen you living trash heap...
I’ve told you once before now
Just leave me alone
I don’t want to be one of you
I still prefer my flesh and bone
Don’t make me angry
We don’t need to go to blows
You just go your creepy way
And I’ll just take my haul and go

Do not resist our power
We cannot hear your screams
We’ll take your flesh
And make you strong beyond your wildest dreams
Lower your shields and weapons
Our tractor beams deployed
We’ll make you one of us
And all your greatest strengths employ
We offer life eternal
We offer ego death
Our empire ever grows
Organic life takes dying breath
But if you choose resistance
If you refuse our prize
Our ship will be the last
Beheld within your dying eyes

Power we do not fear
Now where we stand is clear
This ship will never be enslaved

We seek a heroes death
We’ll fight to dying breath
This sea of stars will be your grave

The fates are on our side
To battle now we ride

Well don’t that beat it all now?
Some heroes riding hard!
You take your stinking metal mess
And go play in your own junkyard
Well I owe you strangers
My gratitude you’ve earned!
Let’s head on down to planetside
And party like tomorrow burns!
