'''Blood on the Thrusters''' (Sing along the tune of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWgsdexkv18 Blood on the Risers])

''He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright.''<br>
''He checked off his equipment and made sure suspensor's tight.''<br>
''He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar.'' <br>
''You ain't gonna drop no more.''

''Chorus: Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.''<br>
''Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.'' <br>
''Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.'' <br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.'' 

''"Is everybody happy?" cried commissar looking up.'' <br>
''Our hero feebly answered, "Yes", and then they stood him up.'' <br>
''He dropped into the icy blast, Valkyrie's hatch unlocked.''<br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.'' 

(Chorus)

''He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock.''<br>
''He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop.'' <br>
''Promethium from thrusters spilled out and burned through his legs.'' <br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.'' 

(Chorus)

''The fuel lines swung around his neck, generator cracked his dome.''<br>
''Gravity fields were tying knots around his skinny bones.'' <br>
''The jet stream became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground.''<br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.'' 

(Chorus)

''The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind.'' <br>
''He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind.'' <br>
''He thought about the chirurgeons and wondered what they'd find.'' <br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.'' 

(Chorus)

''The chimera was on the spot, sentinels running wild.'' <br>
''Enginseers jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their robes and smiled.'' <br>
''For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed.'' <br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.''

(Chorus) 

''He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high.'' <br>
''His comrades they were heard to say, "A helluva way to die."'' <br>
''He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore.''<br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.'' 

(Chorus)

''There was blood upon the thrusters, there were brains upon the 'chute.'' <br>
''Intestines were a-dangling from his guardsman's suit.'' <br>
''He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots.'' <br>
''And he ain't gonna drop no more.''''

(Chorus)
