Xenomorph

Structural perfection, acid blood,

Can endure eternity.

Razor tail, as strong as nails,

And natural hostility.

...

Humans, synthetics, even yautja,

It can stand up to the best.

Life of the strange silicon kind,

Even Ash was impressed.

...

Hunting down its helpless pray,

It tears through armoured suits.

Only one way to stop an outbreak,

And that is through a nuke.

...

Its claws sink into your skin,

While others reside in chests.

With acid blood, CQC,

Is sure to leave a mess.

...

It mostly comes at night,

But not all the time.

A testament to its creators,

And the Enemy's crime.

...

Yet some can stand up to these creatures,

With an airlock in space.

Power loaders, screaming blondes,

Ripley won first place.

...

Some worship the xenomorphs,

Yes, humans can be sick.

But death by chestburster is still better,

Than dying like Corporal Hicks.

...

There are monsters everywhere,

Every entrance you must protect.

Bug hunting, a risky job,

But worth a Company cheque.

...

So now you know the situation,

So into the field you go out.

A battle for our survival,

That's what this is about.


A/N

The idea for this came from the song that was played in the leaked trailer for the DS version of Colonial Marines. Similar, but hopefully different also. Or not. Still something else to look forward to in 2010 I guess.
