Rangers... lock your mag-boots to the hull. Aim for the black... and shoot 'em down! Floating in the freezing dark, the stars are cold and still, But the sensors scream with shadows coming in for the kill! A Griffin aims its arm PPC directly out of the bay, A Locust fires its machine guns, lighting up the grey! LRMs go twisting wild in zero-G descent, We're using Mechs as turrets 'til the ammunition's spent! IN THE BLACK! HOLD THE TRACK! Aerospace are diving fast, they’re cutting through our shield, Several ghost-gray fighters making sure we never yield! But the Rangers won't go quiet into the endless night— We're venting coolant steam and we are blazing out our light! "Incoming! Weapons fire!" the cockpit radar pleads— The Clan Fighters are locking on, and the whole galaxy bleeds! FIRE INTO THE VOID! FIGHTING IN THE DARK! PPCs are cutting lines and leaving quite a mark! The armor plates are melting off, the hull is tearing wide, We’re spitting lead and fury at the incoming tide! No gravity to hold us back, no ground beneath our feet, Ricardo’s Rangers standing tall to face our own defeat! MAGNETS TIGHT! LIGHT THE NIGHT! INTO THE VOID— WE FIGHT! Lasers rake the dropship's spine, the engine room is blown! We’re drifting dead in deep space, completely on our own! The targeting computers die, the cockpits losing spark, But still we pull the triggers blindly firing in the dark! One last fighter catches fire and bursts into a flame, They paid a price in blood to know Ricardo’s bloody name! Out of juice! Lines are loose! "Inner Sphere warriors... your ship is dead. Your fight is done. By the laws of the Trial, you are Isorla. You are claimed by the Wolves." The drive is gone... the armor's spent... But they didn't break us. They put the bondsman cord around my wrist... But they look at us with respect. Ricardo’s Rangers... we survived the fall. WE SURVIVED IT ALL! #BattleTech #MechWarrior #ClanWolf #SciFiMusic #SymphonicMetal #GalenArticus #LoreMusic
