lyrics

Funnels emerge from within the shell
Forty eight psychonomous assault drones
A swarm of metallic hornets unleashed
Shredding mobile suits in a cloud of beams

A devil
Hidden behind four armoured pauldrons
A devil
Built to instill absolute terror

In the hands of an average pilot
It would be above par
But at your command
It’s an eldritch horror
A placid surface
Hiding a boiling rage
A life of trauma
Getting paid back

Born from a lab
Part of a matched set
You watched your sisters
Get annihilated
Somehow you survived
Unspeakable things
How could you forgive?
Now let violence ring

Funnels emerge from within the shell
Forty eight psychonomous assault drones
A swarm of metallic hornets unleashed
Shredding mobile suits in a cloud of beams

You take the battle in close
Sub-arms unsheath
Ensnare the enemy
Your beam sabers eviscerate
Emerge from the explosion
Unscathed to kill again
A woman
And her mecha

Brought together through psycommu
Your mind brings machine to life
Reaction times enhanced
Your lethal will be done

Created to fight
Sent out to die
Hunted and trafficked
Yet still you survived
Now pay back every scar
Embody terror
With your four winged
Warrior
Kshatriya
NZ-666

Now, you know what do.

KILL!

Funnels emerge from within the shell
Forty eight psychonomous assault drones
A swarm of metallic hornets unleashed
Shredding mobile suits in a cloud of beams
Funnels emerge from within the shell
Forty eight psychonomous assault drones
A swarm of metallic hornets unleashed
Shredding mobile suits in a cloud of beams
