Armies of steel, machines of destruction
Echoes of war in a cold barren place
Millions destroyed, all hope is shattered
But deep below ground, a fighter awaits
Man’s striking back, the tables are turning
The network conspires, an ingenious plan
An invincible warrior, he has to go back
To reshape the future, changing the past
Programmed to fight, faster than light
A murderous mission of menace and might
Powered to kill, his one deadly skill
The fate of man lies in his hands
Knowing no fear, feeling no pain
No grief, no compassion, no guilt and no shame
Built to attack, he will be back
The fate of man lies in his hands
Born in the ruins, a smoldering wasteland
Out of the ashes a man will arise!
A hero at heart, a powerful soldier
Has come across time for the love of his life
He must be insane, a paranoid madman
No one believes him, they don’t understand
But if we don’t heed him our time here won’t last
He’ll salvage the future, protecting the past
Programmed to fight, faster than light
A murderous mission of menace and might
Powered to kill, his one deadly skill
The fate of man lies in his hands
Knowing no fear, feeling no pain
No grief, no compassion, no guilt and no shame
Built to attack, he will be back
The fate of man lies in his hands
[Solo: Michael Romeo]
The battle is won, father to son
The danger has passed now, the creature is gone
His eyes have gone black, he won’t be back
The fate of man lies in his hands!
The cycle’s complete, the timeline restored
Mankind is ready for this future war
Will we survive? Come out alive?
The fate of man lies in his hands
The fate of man, now in our hands
