Caught In The Crossfire

On assignment to the new world

They said there'd be more chance for war

Missed the shuttle to the main star

They promised they'd be back for more, oh yeah

Then the warships came without a sound

There were at least a hundred of them bearing down

Caught in the crossfire

Caught in a world insane, Lord

War of the empire

No one will be the same, oh

Caught in the crossfire

Caught in a new age war, we were

I heard somebody say we'd be wasted

Under fire we were without defense

My buddy said he had a space van

A long range cruiser, it was our only chance, oh yeah

We could see no way out but one

There was no choice but to try and run

Caught in the crossfire

Caught in a world insane, Lord

War of the empire

No one will be the same, oh

Caught in the crossfire

Caught in a new age war, we were

Odyssey, laser fight

One shot, last fight

Passed the warships through the neutral zone

Our engines sheared the night as we raced for home

Caught in the crossfire

Caught in a world insane, Lord

War of the empire

No one will be the same, oh

Caught in the crossfire

Caught in a new age war, we were

Caught in the crossfire

Caught in a new age war
