Rifles and Ice

On the icy plains of Europa, 'neath a sun so far and dim, Came the Terran marines, their armor grim, With rifles cold as the moonscape they trod upon, They walked into legend, at the break of dawn. (Verse 2) From the craters and the crevices, the enemy came in swarms, Silent as the void, bringing thunderous storms. But the marines stood ready, their resolve as hard as stone, Determined to fight, far from home, all alone. (Chorus) With their boots laced tight, and their visors down, They fought on Europa, where many a man would drown. In the icy silence, where their cries were never heard, They battled without falter, without a single word. (Verse 3) Sergeant John McCall, with eyes like burning coals, Led his squad through hell, collecting dreadful tolls. Against a foe unseen, in the shadows they would lurk, He rallied his men, to do the devil's work. (Verse 4) Underneath Europa's skies, so vast and unexplored, The marines made their stand with rifle and with sword. Against an alien tide, with every breath a bet, They carved their names in history, with blood and sweat. (Chorus) With their boots laced tight, and their visors down, They fought on Europa, where many a man would drown. In the icy silence, where their cries were never heard, They battled without falter, without a single word. (Chorus) With their boots laced tight, and their visors down, They fought on Europa, where many a man would drown. In the icy silence, where their cries were never heard, They battled without falter, without a single word. (Bridge) And when the smoke had cleared, on that distant, frozen ground, The silence spoke of victory, but few marines were found. They fought for every inch, of that cold, desolate land, With courage unmatched, with a steady hand. (Chorus) With their boots laced tight, and their visors down, They fought on Europa, where many a man would drown. In the icy silence, where their cries were never heard, They battled without falter, without a single word. (Chorus) With their boots laced tight, and their visors down, They fought on Europa, where many a man would drown. In the icy silence, where their cries were never heard, They battled without falter, without a single word. (Outro) With their boots laced tight, and their visors down, They fought on Europa, where many a man would drown. In the icy silence, where their cries were never heard, They battled without falter, without a single word.
