When the Empire of man spread to the stars, There were many conspiracies and wars.; With terrible means at mankind’s command, Grim destruction's flames were often fanned With piracy, plunder and conquest planned; The alien races could not withstand, Their leaders hostage to mankind's remand. Armies and fleets mobilized on demand, And captain’s bars under admiral’s stars, With forges built at Jupiter and Mars Who dares stand as an enemy of MAN? Terra’s dominion was sure to expand. The Space Empire With dreams of glory comes Oh oh oh The Space Empire Beating warlike drums Oh oh oh The Space Empire Counting worlds and moons, Oh oh oh The Space Empire With patriotic tunes, Oh oh oh And wealth in untold sums, Leaving other races only crumbs. Oh oh oh. A dark forest galaxy, so fearful! Mankind so carnivorous and cheerful! Xenomorphs hiding beneath the planets, Below veins of gold and granite. Hiding so the Earthlings cannot find them, Man's war machine with unmatched stratagem, Under a Government of the Big Lie Under an Emperor of do or die Under deceitful promises so sly, The Empire of man looks up to the sky, Sees worlds to conquer, races to enslave, Aliens all, shuddering in their caves. The Space Empire With dreams of glory comes Oh oh oh The Space Empire Beating the warlike drums Oh oh oh The Space Empire Counting worlds and moons, Oh oh oh The Space Empire With patriotic tunes Oh oh oh And wealth in mighty sums, Leaving other races only crumbs. Oh oh oh. Terra, land of the free, home of the brave, Though the Emperor was a cunning knave, Three Space Lords, ruthless and cruel, at his side; Lord Jeffrey, Lord Jon, and Baron de Chide, Each hateful and Jealous toward the other. Held in check by the Emperor's brother. Whose death must occasion internal strife, Granting respite to all alien life. Claimants to the great throne from every side Their evil ambitions not put aside, Caught in the mania of unchecked pride, Advanced on Earth like a terrible tide, With such haste and fury, that many died! The Space Empire With dreams of glory comes Oh oh oh The Space Empire Beating the the warlike drums Oh oh oh The Space Empire Counting worlds and moons, Oh oh oh The Space Empire With patriotic tunes! Oh oh oh! And wealth in mighty sums, Leaving other races only crumbs. oh oh oh! Now hear me man, as every lesson costs: oh oh oh As war and battle bring a holocaust; oh oh oh In lust for power, lives are always lost; oh oh oh Empires are cold machines of blood and force, oh oh oh Against which the gentle have no recourse. oh oh oh Yet in Empire honor is double-crossed. oh oh oh And gaining worlds, souls are lost and lost and lost. Oh oh! The Space Empire In civil war succumbs Oh oh oh! The Space Empire Brought low by its own guns Oh oh oh! A Space Empire Born in terror and war Oh oh oh Is an Empire That dies by the sword Oh oh oh Is an Empire That will one day expire. Oh oh oh The Space Empire Oh oh oh The Space Empire Oh oh oh The Space Empire Oh oh oh.
