Tribute
With their fur a little whiter,
Their step not quite so sure.
Trying to forget the carnage,
Of the Lylat Wars.
...
Theirs were the paws that saved us,
Their courage showed the way.
Standing firm against Venom's forces,
In the bloody fray.
...
From Corneria's sparkling seas,
To the sands of Papetoon.
Katina and other worlds,
And even airless moons.
...
Of troopers and the pilots,
In both space and air.
Fighting against Venom's soldiers,
In odds that were not fair.
...
They fought their way through verdant hills,
And blood soaked desert sands.
Some survived while others died,
Others fell into foe's hands.
...
They remember the siege of Fortuna,
The reclamation of Macbeth's rail.
Standing firm against madness,
With courage that did not fail.
...
To the icy world of Fichina,
To Titania's wasteland.
To the battle at Sector Y,
Denying Andross' hand.
...
Lylatans, one and all,
Safeties all released.
Standing firm against the ape,
The one who'd deny us peace.
...
Returning from Venom's curse,
To Corneria's skies.
They know the fallen will be waiting,
When they reach the other side.
