Wreck-compense (Star Wars: The Old Republic, Republic Trooper)
It’s just another normal day,
Being thrown face-first into the fray,
Get comfortable and you won’t last long,
So fire off long and loud like you belong,
We’re about to dive head-first into battle so bring your parachute along.
Welcome aboard to Havoc Squad,
Where every bullet shell is a collectible,
And loyalty is valued more than decibels,
Storming strongholds and war-zones.
Our cannons bring the thunder so our mortars can rain,
Making “Havoc” more than a name.
And even when pushing the boundary of the Republic’s permission,
We still prefer to solve our problems through pump action.
Just remember that whenever you’re with Havoc Squad we’ve got your back,
From the front lines to the med bay we’re as inseparable as an ammunition pack,
From the silver beaches of Ord Mantell to the asteroid gardens of the Foundry,
Our jurisdiction of justice and pain knows no boundary.
However, being a Havoc isn’t all fun and sight-seeing,
Duty isn’t just receiving and completing orders it’s everything in-between,
Gaining that extra yard of ground, saving one more life, being the last to defend the keep,
Leading the troops into battle proving that no slope is too steep,
Inspiring ragged soldiers to follow us into the separatist base,
Yes trooper we’re marching straight into that volcano keep up the pace.
Pardon the pun but wreck as much havoc as you can we’ll meet you at the peak,
Blow up everything you can but don’t delay there’s someone we want you to meet,
His name’s Colonel Vorr and he has a proposition,
He promises that our defection to the Empire will allow us to regain our honor and maintain our position,
I hope you realize what the Empire offered for us to make this decision,
If you knew as much as we do you’d come with us,
But unfortunately you’ll die before your true admission,
And all traces of our betrayal will be destroyed in the eruption,
Read between the lines of your loyalty and you’ll see we were forced into this by our leader’s corruption,
The Republic’s crumbling better get to an escape pod,
For the Empire will be the home for Havoc Squad.
