Shields Up (Red Alert) Lyrics


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!

(Solo: S. Delorey)

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!
