One man army
High technology
Designed to destroy
Entire space fleets
Advanced machinery
Exotic Weaponry
Stealth capabilities
Kill while unseen
A special unit unto itself
A game changing weapon
When in the right hands
Expensive, but effective
A mecha must-have
Any fleet's nemesis
But the disadvantage lies
Only in the pilot's eyes
They must be devoid of mercy
If they hope to survive
No compassion for the squadron
Rushing in will get you killed
One must not try to save their team
Or you'll become the final
Blitz fatality
Blitz Fatality
Blitz Fatality
Blitz Fatality

Corrupted
By the Pied Piper of Terror
Convinced
To assault & slaughter my village
Trapped
Inside a lifetime of warfare
Condemned
Till I saw a Celestial Being
Rescued
Rehabilitated
Battle On
Wage war for peace
Rescued
Rehabilitated
Can't die
Conflict Child
Must try to break the cycle
To stop the foolishness
Of war that never truly ends
Assembled
As part of a covert strike force
Strike fear
Into quarreling world leaders
Become
The common enemy
Unify
The world against me
Rescued
Rehabilitated
Battle On
Wage war for peace
Rescued
Rehabilitated
Can't die
Conflict Child

I'm armed to the teeth
You've got nothing for me
All you'll see
Is your demise
Three anti-ship swords
Two rail guns, five beam weapons
A full compliment of missiles
Integrated Weapon System
Even my defense
Takes an offensive slant
See this shield?
It's got a gatling gun
Grappling cables
In the limbs
And a beam boomerang
I'll keep hidden
And now...
Burn!
You'll never stand a chance
You're assured to die
Now it's time, accept your fate
Might as well close your eyes
Three anti-ship swords
Two rail guns, five beam weapons
A full compliment of missiles
Integrated Weapon System

I was a war orphan
Conscripted into a PMC
Forced to have three surgeries
To implant spinal circuitry
An enhanced child soldier
Expandable mechanized infantry
Until I found this ancient machine
Arise Barbatos, arise the new me
In this machine
I fight not for glory
But simply to exist
As reclaimed human debris
I am no longer just
My Alaya-Vijnana implants
I can face down any enemy
That would stand before me
The battlefield is where I prove I'm alive
To show I exist, before man and sky
I am no longer scrambling to survive
I have seen the light, now you must die
Now let the iron flowers bloom
Where the blood has been shed
Each grave a monument
That asserts my existence
The worlds see me as sub-human
An orphan meant to be a slave
I refuse to just know my place
I will not go gently
I have a circle who see my worth
Friends to die and to kill for
I'll become a demon for our sake
And burn out on my terms, not rot away
In this machine
I fight not for glory
But simply to exist
As reclaimed human debris

Paralyzed
Unable to act
Knowing what must be done
But refusing to move
Heavily armed
In an advanced war machine
But crippled
By ideals of neutrality
Princess of a stolen nation
Now standing in between
Your home's army and your lover's country
Weighed down
By your beliefs
Unable to take back your state
The charlatans
Who manipulated
Their way to your throne
Have allied with an oppressive empire
Locked in mortal combat
With the genetically modified
children of space
And yet your interventions fail
But to stop this war
You must overcome yourself
Force yourself free from this
Ideological paralysis
There is no time but now
To elevate yourself, to take it back
Orb is in the hands of thieves
Linked to forces of Natural supremacy
ZAFT too, has a rotten head,
Engineered feeling of superiority
A third nation must stand tall
To stand between, to end this war
Fight! Fight!
Throw off your shackles!
Fight! Fight!
For your birthright
Fight! Fight!
Take back your country
Fight! Fight!
Take back yourself

Cut off from the hive mind
Disconnected from the quantum network
An Innovade cast into exile
Forced to fend for himself
Left in isolation from the only home I've ever known
Forced to improve, to open up
To those at my side
Through deprivation strength is found
And skills developed
Improvement through Isolation
The Virtue is lost to space
The Seravee stands now, the upgrade
It's taken years to get this far
All must change, so here we are
Left in isolation from the only home I've ever known
Forced to improve, to open up
To those at my side
Through deprivation strength is found
And skills developed
Improvement through Isolation
The time has come to test
To test all that I have learned
To help guide humanity
Into evolution's hands
Left in isolation from the only home I've ever known
Forced to improve, to open up
To those at my side
Through deprivation strength is found
And skills developed
Improvement through Isolation

My past is soiled with blood
My future's pre-stained red
But my new ends
Justify my means
I will end oppression
I will end global war
I will destroy everything
Built to kill a man
I am just one quarter
Of the team assembled
To bring a close
To this era of conflict
Guerilla warfare, inciting fear
Attack Targets Of opportunity
No soldier or staff safe
My terror tactics make me a hero
No one is safe
I can strike anywhere
From orbital colonies
To the Earth below
A transforming Wing
To bring death from above
Fighting to end your life
Fighting to end all strife
Armies of the world
Weapons manufacturers
Hawkish heads of state
Every single one, a target
Guerilla warfare, inciting fear
Attack Targets Of opportunity
No soldier or staff safe
My terror tactics make me a hero
Just one buster rifle
Just two beam sabres
That's all I need
To leave you all in flames
My future is crimson
Yours is earthen
But when this is done
I'll be above the ground
Destroy the militaries
Destroy the governments
Who dare to embrace
Anything but pacifism
Destroy the at-work forces
Who prevent peace
Become a hero
With terrorist tactics

It's over, it's done
The O is fallen
I can't speak, I can't feel
Only perceive
Victory's not supposed to feel this way
Trapped inside myself
I can't respond, just receive
I am a psychic casualty
The Zeta is unscathed
I'm inside, drifting away
Around me the infinite galaxy
But my soul is bound by gravity
Victory's not supposed to feel this way
Trapped inside myself
I can't respond, just receive
I am a psychic casualty
