Steel Stallions
by Tony Chandler
Steel Stallions cross the sky,
Black Death, fear on high.
Locked talons, wings of strength,
falling Circle Fury,
echo of our screaming cry.
Red-lined, and over the edge...
Broadsides, guns to bear.
Into Death we will stare.
Stars will shudder, souls will shake.
Flames light the darkness
like a Nova's blinding flare
Far, far over the edge...
Bring it on, deal your best.
Dueling Power is the test.
Zero hour, Day of Doom,
Fire and thunder blind the rest,
glisten off my Saber crest.
Battle royal, tooth and nail.
Bitter loyal, rant and rail.
Enemy cursed, forever mine,
Time to cross that final line.
Only one will fail.
Red-lined and over the edge,
past the speed of Light.
There's no stopping me now,
Not without this fight.
Is it to lose? Is it to win?
Forget it all, hammer it in.
Starships -- warships, eye to eye.
Steel Stallions ROCK the sky!
