[Verse 1] Sileo called us in No mere training run "Strike Squad Five, you’re ready now Head for the root at dawn" They called it the forest of death Where the black roots breathe Save the child by crystal hands Then escape from the leaves [Pre-Chorus] We checked our gear in silence No one had to speak Goal almost in hand As the hour nears the peak We heard the countdown start We felt the ground go still Mages at the edge went first With a plan to break the will When the sky broke open loud We ran through ash and flame One shot for the future The future we will claim [Chorus] Strike Squad Five, move out Stay and Hide, new route Run for the core, run for the core Suicide, Fall-out Strike Squad Five, look out "Ambush!" cried, the scout Forest of death, step aside We came too far for a bailout We came too far to turn around [Verse 2] The elves came out and broke our stride With guns that cursed the air Fire bit, then lightning struck Ice and acid everywhere We took the hits, we took the drops Then we took their hands One by one we knocked them out No blood on our plans The guardians watched from the dark And they lowered all their blades They said, "You fight with mercy That’s a language here that stays" [Pre-Chorus] Then came the table in the roots With seats for every line Fairies, hags, satyrs Dragon breath and living vine Debate cut sharp as glass Each word like a guillotine Bad news hanging heavy Every second more obscene The votes were tense, the room was tight The future on a wire Then the hidden crown stood up And cut straight through the fire [Chorus] Strike Squad Five, no doubt 'gainst the Hive, Hold Out Run for the core, run for the core Time for a turnabout Zeal Revived, devout We were down, not out! Forest of death, step aside We came too far to turn around [Bridge] Hands shook Deals traded Promises passed like sparks The secret princess took the floor And changed the shape of dark Neutral now, the forest holds The gate swings wide for us Every path that led here Was built on grit and trust [Final Chorus] Strike Squad Five, move out Strike Squad Five, move out Run for the core, run for the core We don’t break, we don’t bow bow We Arrived, we shout At the end, drawn-out! Forest of death, step aside We came too far to turn around Strike Squad Five Strike Squad Five Into the core Into the hive
