Dogfight

Scramble, scramble, invaders on their way
Red alert, red alert, make this their dying day
Strapped in their cockpits, motors on full power
The Earth's courageous warriors will make this their killing hour

Interception point computed, the fighters leave the Earth
Slicing through the stratosphere, riding the stellar surf
All systems steady, computers locked on course
At a million miles per hour to meet the alien force

Ionic beams blazing, release the plasma bolts
Annihilating energy, 600 billion volts
Vapourizing strangers in an omnipotent cosmic show
Destroying members of a race we do not even know

Go make this their dying day.
