(Lyrics by Bogdan Vera)

As we rode machines onto the battlefield,
Our engines growling and our weapons charged,

We were strong and our numbers great
Our might ships thirst to win.

Then a burst of light in space flashed in our eyes
And a fleet of ships materialized.

They were strong and their numbers great
Nightmare shapes, they seek to kill.

[Chorus]

This is the day of the Battle of Tears
History will know of our names,
And the many that die will be heroes in time
Standing ever proud.

This is the day of the Battle of Tears
Many voices cry out as one,
And the many that died will be heroes in time
Lost beyond the shroud.

Light years away in a time long ago,
All of the races united.

We were strong and our numbers great
Our might ships thirst to win.

In a moment missiles guns and lasers flared,
In darkness burning starships drifted on.

They were strong and their numbers great
Nightmare shapes, they seek to kill.

[Chorus]

This is the day of the Battle of Tears
History will know of our names,
And the many that die will be heroes in time
Standing ever proud.

This is the day of the Battle of Tears
Many voices cry out as one,
And the many that died will be heroes in time
Lost beyond the shroud.

Light years away in a time long ago,
All of the races united.

Evermore on that day
There's a moment of silence to pay
And we swear to keep our worlds at peace
And always just remember:

"We are nothing but candles burning in hurricane winds,
We are fighting the current, sailing on terrible seas,
We are living the moment, always we're treasuring these:
Freedom and pride, and the sacrifice of those who died!"

[Chorus]

This is the day of the Battle of Tears
History will know of our names,
And the many that die will be heroes in time
Standing ever proud.

This is the day of the Battle of Tears
Many voices cry out as one,
And the many that died will be heroes in time
Lost beyond the shroud.

Light years away in a time long ago,
All of the races united.
