Pilot Star

Somebody once told me about the first impact,
And it was going to happen again,
It was dressed in fencing mask with a cross in the background,
I guess that’s it for mankind,
Well. The years start coming and they don’t stop coming,
The third one came and I hit the ground running,
It only made sense to use Unit 01,
Shinji thought it couldn’t be done,
Bandaged and bleeding left Rei out,
So what’s wrong with Shinji to bout,
It started with that first fight,
The continue of this confusing blight,
Hey now, you’re a pilot,
Get your suit on, go fight,
Hey now, you’re motherless,
Overcome your problems,
Angels want next impact,
But the Commander has no tact,
The fourth one came and was known as Shamshel,
Two guys almost squashed, faces rang a bell,
Ritsuko begged to differ,
But Misato said in and changed the picture,
Sync ratio down, orders to retreat,
Shinji said no, just had to beat,
Results were good but the costs were high,
Soon Shinji would leave without saying goodbye,
Hey now, you’re a pilot,
Get your suit on, go fight,
Hey now, you’re motherless,
Overcome your problems,
Angels want next impact,
But the Commander has no tact,
Fly to the moon
Hey now, you’re a pilot,
Get your suit on, go fight,
Hey now, you’re motherless,
Overcome your problems,
Angels want next impact,
But the Commander…
The history of NERV,
It’s a never-ending story,
Gendo, Fuyutsuki, Yui and Naoko,
What a group! Guess I should know,
Cast numbers are running low,
How many will survive till the end?
Well. The years start coming and they don’t stop coming,
The third one came and I hit the ground running,
It only made sense to use Unit 01,
Shinji thought it couldn’t be done,
Bandaged and bleeding left Rei out,
So what’s wrong with Shinji to bout,
It started with that first fight,
The continue of this confusing blight,
Hey now, you’re a pilot,
Get your suit on, go fight,
Hey now, you’re motherless,
Overcome your problems,
Angels want next impact,
But the Commander has no tact,
Angels want next impact,
But the Commander has no tact,
