Lyrics[]
Just a few more minutes 'til the enemy ship wins
And old D. Walker thinks he's starting to see things...
An ethereal presence appears!
The alarm rings!
Points to the monitor and faintly there's 3 pings
Punches in the co-ords setting course for the zone
By the time he comes around he can't believe what he's shown
Been searching all his life for a place of his own
Seems our lil' old explorer has discovered a home, sing!
Yeaaaaah!
You gotta go wild! Gotta be a star!
'Cus the battle over Nexus is pretty hard!
The final conquest? Or a brand new start?
Pick your side, look alive, and then play your part!
Yo' whatcha looking at?
Yeah I'm a Draken man
Big horns, long claws, good for scratching and
If you step to me, well I'll pimp slap ya clan
Through the fire and the flames like that dragon band
Then there's the Chua, known as the little blighters
Small and fury but they're devastating fighters
Wielding fibertronics, aerosols and lighters
Blazing up the elderoots and anybody else defying us
Descendants of the Eldan race - Cassian, Mechari
Gone for a thousand years but now they'll build an army
Can they win this one? A tricky one to wager
When any progress is bipolar as the caretaker
Yeaaaaah!
You gotta go wild! Gotta be a star!
'Cus the battle over Nexus is pretty hard!
The final conquest? Or a brand new start?
Pick your side, look alive, and then play your part!
Yeaaaaah!
You gotta go wild! Gotta be a star!
'Cus the battle over Nexus is pretty hard!
The final conquest? Or a brand new start?
Pick your side, look alive, and then play your part!
This is the Granok
They follow in the way of the stone!
'Til the scummy space boulder dodgers came for their homes!
They took the dommies to the local school of hard knox
And watched 'em fizzle quicker than a human child with pop rocks!
A little different from red carpet receptions
Something that we hadn't seen since the empire's inception
This was all brand new, something known as rejection
Proving once again that Durek's is the strongest protection
Now flip the coin, it's Queen Myala Everstar!
Chased off Arboria because they tore my world apart
And now she's hoping all the Dommies will drop dead
Whilst residing in the forest with the Lopp. Yeah, the pot heads
Go on and try some
Just a lick of your tongue
And you'll be having some fun because
Lopp share with everyone!
Welcoming the Mordesh!
Dead men walking
Partially psychotic if you ever get 'em talking
Just some friendly advice, when in conversation
Don't mention Lazarin, Everlife or the Contagion...
Finally the humans, they're similar to you & me
Previously Cassians until they wanted to be free
And now they're partnered in this rag tag of refugees
Mercs, rebels, heavies, take us on, come on, we dare you please!
Yeaaaaah!
You gotta go wild! Gotta be a star!
'Cus the battle over Nexus is pretty hard!
The final conquest? Or a brand new start?
Pick your side, look alive, and then play your part!
Yeaaaaah!
You gotta go wild! Gotta be a star!
'Cus the battle over Nexus is pretty hard!
This is far from casual, make no mistake
So you better go and level up cupcake.
