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
