[Intro]

Jump complete

Deactivate stasis pods

Beginning descent

Ready the drop troops

Your orders are clear. The objectives are there

Godspeed and prepare for planetfall


[Verse 1]

A hundred twenty years in stasis hibernation

My body rests, and my mind in combat simulations

Out in the stars on a forced migration

With the last survivors of our civilization

Lost to an enemy that defies explanation

Weary as we reach our seventh destination

On a mission that demands my utmost dedication

To a world that could finally bе our salvation

Primed and ready as I got in formation

The drop bay doors opеn to our elation

Orders to drop get their final confirmation

Surrender to the influence of gravitation

Freefalling in perfect coordination

Weapons hot and ready in apprehension

What awaits rules my imagination

But triumph is my only motivation


[Chorus]

Planetfall, is this the one? I haven't slept in so long. I want a bed to lie in

Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't climbed a tree in so long. I want a shade to lie in

Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't heard the sea in so long. Into her song I want to dive in

Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't felt the ground in so long. I want some dirt to die in


[Verse 2]

The atmosphere rings with an alien sensation

Scanners indicate primitive habitations

We brace ourselves for a confrontation

As we close in on our target location

Touching down on this unknown nation

Finger on the trigger in anticipation

But instead of hostility, a warm reception

The natives offer their cooperation

Kindness beyond our expectations

Our initial view, a heavy miscalculation

Forgot quarantine, a microbial infection

Leading to their premature extinction

Caution overshadowed by desperation

Promise to remember their compassion

Mourn their unintended destruction

Honor their legacy, our lifelong devotion


[Chorus]

Planetfall, is this the one? I haven't slept in so long. I want a bed to lie in

Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't climbed a tree in so long. I want a shade to lie in

Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't heard the sea in so long. Into her song I want to dive in

Planetfall, is this the one? Haven't felt the ground in so long. I want some dirt to die in
