Intruders

I see this world before me.

See the tank traps, trenches, wire.

I see lightning shooting upward.

I see tanks and ships afire.

…

We're headed for the LZ,

There's sound of engines, curses, shouts.

At last, our dropship touches down,

We all quickly bail out.

…

Welcome to Pyrrhus City.

Welcome to war and strife.

Welcome to Planet Helghan.

Inimical to life.

…

The helghast set upon us.

Bullets, bombs and death.

Some of us perish quickly.

Others draw out final breaths.

…

All of us sons and daughters.

All of us sent to die.

To perish in uncaring city,

Beneath unfriendly sky.
