Lyrics: RATBOTS: we have traveled from world to world since our creation & the day that we broke free from our video game enslavement now we consume the knowledge of a thousand cultures headin' for earth headin' for mankind let the mass abduction begin target all the humans isn't this so strange all these cosmic things are happening like the patterns in the crops circles with dots little pictures and the missing animals the cows & chickens the other night i was at a carnival when to my disbelief i saw a ufo hoverin' around in the stars maybe it came from mars or somewhere that's really far target all the humans as the screams in the streets began my head was poundin' as fast it can i heard a little voice inside my head and it said "go into the light" the giant light beams descended on the earth and i was transported to the mother ship and that's where i saw some other shit green alien light beams creatures target all the humans let the tests begin alert, alert the prisoners are escaping those stupid aliens think that they can hold us but we're humans, let's teach them about revolutions common my brothers and sisters lets rise up and stop this brutal torture target all the humans

Lyrics: the wormhole swallowed our slave ship now we all are stranded i'm stuck out here in the nowhere on a solo planet, those glitchy ratbots could not pass they blew up in the wormholes mass now we're here on this graveyard of star ships but at least there is some parts keep the strength up in your heart so were stranded on this planet we have to build it a way to escape evacuate puttin' it together took over 2 years blood sweat and tears lucky for the oxygen despite lack of vegetation it is so cold out here this planets filled with fear there's not a moon in sight not enough day light time to leave this world pilot threw the swirls we're all holding hands this is the plan we're in this together leaving here forever we're leaving here forever i'm stuck out here in the nowhere

Lyrics: in the end i needed my friends i needed them to win i started my journey on this quest so long ago the monster destroyed my city and i was all alone i became a solider so i could save all i know along the way i met a team i'd call my own we battled the guardian forces and entered our own dreams we traveled across the desert and climbed the glowing trees in the end i needed my friends i needed them to win flash forward to the ending, the final boss fight we summoned eidolons and all our guardians all the monsters we fought, and all the views we saw it comes down to this battle for it all up the side of the highest mountains and into volcanoes battling in the lightning fields against the toughest foes in the end i needed my friends i needed them to win we entered the fire caverns and plundered through the snow everything we know is under attack and that's why we've got to act with this sword like a gun i will have so much fun slashin' up the monsters with my limit break 9999 its time for you to evacuate my planet so leave it the way that you found it and go back to where you came from so i can have some more fun with my friends, cash in diamonds now we are rich and fully equipped i love my materia in the end i needed my friends i needed them to win
