Hanging still and silent
Motionless in the void
A vast armada lurks
Preparing for a war
Unseen, unsensed, unnoticed,
Until it is too late
The fleet begins its fatal run,
A day that has long been awaited
This is the day of reckoning
When armaments and skill are matched
This is the day of reckoning
A plan long ago hatched in the minds of madmen hellbent on domination
This is the day of reckoning
A day full of destruction
The darkness flashes with sudden light,
The first barrage let loose
the victim fleet caught unawares
Their defenses are of no use
Decimated, they regroup
To launch a counterattack
A thousand lazy, careless years
Their discipline grown too lax
And
This is the day of reckoning
When armaments and skill are matched
This is the day of reckoning
A plan long ago hatched in the minds of madmen hellbent on domination
This is the day of reckoning
A day full of destruction
Fire flashes in the endless night
Each burst a dozen lives
Eternal screams in an eternal void
Cutting him like knives
He arrives, leaps to the fray
His craft nimble and quick
Racing past flash-frozen corpses
The carnage makes him sick
But he swallows his misgivings
Sometimes you have to kill
In defense of friends and family
Oppressed beyond their will
Because
This is the day of reckoning
When armaments and skill are matched
This is the day of reckoning
A plan long ago hatched in the minds of madmen hellbent on domination
This is the day of reckoning
A day full of destruction
His arrival turns the tide
Victims become victors through his fire
The oppressor Navy, near destruction
Of the battle begins to tire
So they retreat to whence they came
Nursing a diminished fleet
Back to the dark corners of the galaxy
Defeat, a tang in the mouth bittersweet
This is the day of reckoning
When armaments and skill are matched
This is the day of reckoning
A plan long ago hatched in the minds of madmen hellbent on domination
This is the day of reckoning
A day full of destruction
This is the day of Reckoning
