Our Earth

They drop the bomb, a city's gone.
They come in ships.
Their army rips through our defenses.

And don't you know there's nowhere to go.
We're all gonna die.
They took all of my valuable chances.

Like docile sheep, the city sleeps.
And they slip through with attitude.
Packing big and bad.

When we find a way on Independence Day.
Put in their place by Russell Case.
We rejoice so glad.

If they came.
Could we get them off our planet?
See, I don't want to be forgotten.

And if they came.
Could you control the insanity they would surely bring.
Oh, yeah?

If you look to the sky and you realize.
They've come for us, would you put up a fuss?
And fight till life slips from you.

On the Pillar of Autumn, you know they've got 'em.
And won't give up fate to the enemy at the gate.
In the moment you see what is true.

Would you fight for your life, your child, your wife?
Would you seek tomorrow?
Would you feel sorrow?
Against the Covenant.

Fire your guns till the enemy runs.
Protect our Earth with all your worth.
Respectful with regal remembrance.

Death to the foe!
Oh!
We'll fight 'em off!
Oh!
With all of our lives!
Oh!
Last of 'em drops!
Oh!

So if they attack, those monsters of black.
With their toothy maws, mandibles, claws.
Attacking like a flood tide.

We wouldn't slack, we would fight back.
Grapple with the beast, each man take a piece.
Never ceased until their blood dried.

They sting, who cares, don't fuss, don't swear.
Our blood they'll drink, theirs is acid I think.
War ends upon a drum roll.

Man stood as one with sword and gun.
They dig the grave for those we didn't save.
A horrid massive funeral.

We cry death to the foe!
Oh!
We'll fight 'em off!
Oh!
With all of our lives!
Oh!
Till the last of 'em drops!
Oh!

In the end we find we're weak of the mind.
And considered a lesser species.
But what if we find we're one of a kind.
And there's no one in the outer reaches.

War cry!
Brave men will fall!
They die!
Shout battle calls!

Death to the foe!
We'll fight 'em off!
With all our lives!
Till the last of 'em drops!
