Armored hand on armored hip
Both my hearts began to pound
So lovely was what I found
I love your brightly shining armor
Human named Commander Palmer
I wish that we could—

I saw you standing at your ship
Armored hand on armored hip
Both my hearts began to pound
So lovely was what I found

I love your brightly shining armor
Human named Commander Palmer
I wish that we could for time forever
Destroy their core ourselves together

But until that very distant day
You and I shall go our way
To kill bosses and enemies best
To capture bases, east to west
