Planet to Fall (or, "The Ballad of Hive Regiment a675-355" NB.)
Here we stand, and here we fall,
Sheng-Ji Yang won't care at all.
Turn and run? Stand and fight?
Either way, we're getting 'Busted tonight.
Yeah! We won't spare no lives at all,
As we're fighting with our backs to the wall.
Doom on you and doom on all...
Doom on us - when the Planet-Bomb falls - yeah!
At every twist, and every turn,
We slow our enemies before we all burn.
Block their path, obstruct their goal,
Keep 'em waiting till the Fat Woman blows!
Fight your wars the U.N. way:
Raise your army, then sit voting all day.
Let your dogmas freeze your creed:
Can't take a slash without a 2-to-1 lead.
Commie, Nazi, Free Man - well, in war, it's all the same!
(Oh no! Oh no!)
Well, lock and load cos soon we're gonna see some nuclear rain!
(Oh no! Oh no!)
Tell my wife I won't see her again! Yeah!
[Corporal Bai Ran Mei does a guitar solo]
As Morgan wanted life unbound,
So we have our immortality found.
Although we die, friend, do not fear:
Soon our half-life will be 2500 years!
Stand your posts and meet their push:
Those who die now merely miss the big rush.
Spare a thought for Yang and Lal,
They'll be watching when the Planet-bomb, Planet-bomb falls!
It's going to fall, yeah -
Planet Bomb falls -
Laughing while the Planet-Bomb falls!
While we're waiting for all Planet to, Planet to, Planet to fall!
Give it to 'em one more time!
[very loud noise]

NB
(Historically, Hive regiment a675-355 were responsible for the pinning down of Peacekeeper troops on the slopes of the Garland Crater in Hu Man Bing's SMAC game. The single Hive infantry elite chaos bombard unit strategically held around 10 invading Peacekeeper infantry units at ground zero, just out of range of the Peacekeeper capital, so that the Chairman's Planet Buster missile could "clear the way". Needless to say, regiment a675-355 did not survive the conflagration to be rewarded for their resolve. A plaque to their bravery stands today at UN Headquarters, administered by Base Governer Hu Man Bing. This song was the final transmission of regiment sergeant Ren Zhen Fang, who was famous for his exemplary training methods, liking for Queen music, and rather macabre sense of humor.)
