[polychromatic]

I was participating in twelvecolonies last year on Team Galactica and helped to write a significant portion of the lyrics for the "Team Theme" challenge. But still, I thought it was kind of a fun parody \o/

Video here!


We Will Survive

At first we were afraid, we were petrified
Kept thinking we could never live after the Cylon's genocide
But then Adama took the stand
And promised us a brand new land
We used to cry
But now we hold our heads up high

And now they're back from outer space
But we'll do our godsdamned best to fight for the human race
Though there are Cylons in our midst
Eights and one through six
If they rebel against us
We'll throw our Marines in the mix

And as we search for our new home
We'll fight the hard fight
Cause we ain't scared anymore,
Our Admiral and XO command all Galactica
The CIC, deck crew, pilots
Sickbay and civilians

'Cause we're alive
And we'll survive
As long as we keep running
The human race will thrive
All of the nuggets being trained
All of the fighters in their place
We will survive
We will survive,
hey hey

It takes all the strength she has
To protect us all
And we spent so many nights
Fixing her broken hull
And on our journey towards Earth
We prove our mettle and our worth
'Cause we are strong
Though we don't always get along

New Caprica
Was a mistake
We jumped away
But we came back
To try and change our fate
Tigh came back without an eye
Many of us were traumatized
But we've put behind our rough times
And said our sad goodbyes

And we will fight, until we can't
Or we reach a place that can sustain at least one plant
We've been through a mutiny
A treaty with our enemy
But still our Admiral stands tall
And we all echo his call

So say we all!
So say we all!
Oh~ the old girl might take some hits
But she will never fall
With our Viper-Raptor squads
We know we'll beat the frakkin' odds
And we'll survive
We will survive!

(pause)
'til we can't hear nothin' but the rain
And we can lay down all our burdens
And all of our pain
Though this has happened all before
And it might happen just once more
We still look at her with awe
And sing her praises 'til we're raw

Galactica,
Galactica,
Oh as long as we keep fighting
We'll reach Earth like they foresaw
We’ve got all our lives to live
Gotta keep fighting till we win
We will survive
SO SAY WE ALL
Hey hey
