[Verse] We didn't want this, We came in peace, to explore, to make friends We were naive We gazed into a void and the void gazed back... [Verse 2] Wolf Three Five Seven a harrowing slaughter Forty ships torn asunder Starfleet was beaten, bruised, battered... But we are not broken! I rise from their ashes... I AM DEFIANT! [Chorus] Assimilate this you cyber fiend I am U S S Defiant Defender of the Federation Pulse phasers flash Quantum torpedoes blast Assimilate THIS! [Verse 3] Engines burning bright Phasers scourge the night! A PHOENIX'S RISING LIGHT I CHARGE INTO THE FIGHT... MY DEFIANCE BURNING BRIGHT! OUR COURAGE FIERCE! OUR CAUSE IS RIGHT! WE WON'T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT TONIGHT![Bridge] they invade our space... we fall back... civilizations assimilated and we fall back... this far, NO FARTHER! THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE! WE WILL RESIST AND BITE! RESIST AND BITE! [Chorus] Assimilate this, you cyberfiend I am U S S Defiant Defender of the Federation Pulse phasers flash Quantum torpedoes blast Assimilate This! [Verse 4] A Borg cube detected... A BORG CUBE DETECTED! Sector ZERO ZERO ONE, this time shall be different WE ARE READY, WE ARE WAITING THE SHEEP HAVE TURNED TO LIONS WE ARE DEFIANT! [Verse 5] YOU CAN'T ADAPT TO OUR IDEOLOGY! WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR AUTONOMY! YOU WILL CHOKE ON OUR TECHNOLOGY! Unable to Assimilate our Biology WE WILL REMAIN DEFIANT! [Chorus] Assimilate this, you cyberfiend I am U S S Defiant Defender of the Federation Pulse phasers flash Quantum torpedoes blast Assimilate This! [Verse 6] you cannot understand us, Your metal claw unable to grab us YOU WILL NEVER HAVE US! YOUR INFLEXIBLE MIND UNABLE TO APPREHEND US! WE ARE DEFIANT! WE ARE DEFIANT! WE ARE DEFIANT! ASSIMILATE THIS!
