Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral... I want that ship, not excuses... Two years was pretty good run, but the Empire found our base That probe droid called, the Imperials showed, and they chased us into space Now we’re somewhere between Hoth and Anoat, and the hyperdrive is shot If I can’t outrun, then I can outfly, lemme show ‘em what I’ve got! Three-thousand, seven hundred twenty to one! Never tell me the odds! Three-thousand, seven hundred twenty to one! Shut him up or shut him down! Ground assault came down so hard, a fight we couldn’t win The AT-ATs shook the ground so hard that the roof was caving in Vader red-hot on our heels right to the docking bay Chewie got the Falcon fired up, and we barely got away Three-thousand, seven hundred twenty to one! Never tell me the odds! Three-thousand, seven hundred twenty to one! Shut him up or shut him down! “You’re not actually going INTO an asteroid field, are you?” “They’d be crazy to follow us, wouldn’t they?” They’re getting closer, flyboy, better outmaneuver them quick I know you wanna impress me, but that’s an asteroid we just hit Han, put down those hydrospanners before we get pulverized I hope you know what you’re doing, headed for an asteroid that size Three-thousand, seven hundred twenty to one! Never tell me the odds! Three-thousand, seven hundred twenty to one! Shut him up or shut him down! And we’ll just float away... with the rest of the garbage.

Order 66 02:22
Fighting the fight, the war's on tonight, soldiers tried and true Clones we may be, my brothers and me, we enjoy what we do Across the galaxy, we need victory, the Jedi take the lead Suddenly strange, something has changed, we have no choice but to proceed The order it comes, the damage is done Taking the lives we defend Imminent death, nothing is left After Order 66 The battle is on, the death toll at dawn, legions of Jedi dead Kill them he hissed, somehow we resist, the voice in our head We may have escaped, but lives we did take, our biochips we removed Our brothers and friends, the ones we defend, lay fallen at our feet The order it comes, the damage is done Taking the lives we defend Imminent death, nothing is left After Order 66 The order it comes, the damage is done Taking the lives we defend Imminent death, nothing is left After Order 66

Rebel Scum 02:38
You think that you could ever ride with me? I run a custom 74-Z It's built for power and it's stripped for speed You can't take it! You can't take it! I'm taking corners at inhuman speed Do all my flying through an HUD My blaster cannon makes the rebels bleed They can't take it! They can't take it! I ride so fast my mind goes numb When I'm running down that rebel scum! I'm waxing targets while I'm dodging trees Throttle open is the way to be Come from above and they will never see They won't make it! They won't make it! I ride so fast my mind goes numb When I'm running down that rebel scum! Not much more than an engine and a seat But you've never seen a ride so sweet You know my speeder, it just can't be beat My scout patrol is gonna bring the heat To that rebel scum!

AT-AT Attack 01:52
1, 2, 3, AT-AT! Mowing down your battleground Snow won't even slow us down Trudging thru your last defense Bludgeoning your armaments AT-AT Attack, AT-AT Attack We're here to crush Rebels and we're driving 'em back AT-AT Attack, AT-AT Attack How many dead Rebels can we stack - come on! Smashing through your metal walls Crashing though your Rebel halls Stomping down your weaponry Clomping down your infantry AT-AT Attack, AT-AT Attack We-re here to crush Rebels and we're driving 'em back AT-AT Attack, AT-AT Attack How many dead Rebels can we stack - come on! Our armor is way too dense Far too thick for your offense Armored Transport All Terrain Armageddon coup de main AT-AT Attack, AT-AT Attack We-re here to crush Rebels and we're driving 'em back AT-AT Attack, AT-AT Attack How many dead Rebels can we stack - come on!

Once a jedi, mind clouded with hate Corrupted by Palpatine, sealing his fate Obi Wan tried to bring him back to the light Severed his limbs, but still lost the fight He rose from the ashes stronger than before Palpatine rebuilt him, mechanical Sith Lord His lightsaber glows eerie blood red Come face to face you'll end up dead Darth Vader Darth Vader Darth Vader Half man and half machine, yeah Man in black, heart cold as steal He'll take you down with the force he weilds You'll hear him coming by the sound of his breath But you won't hear yours when he strangles your neck Rebel alliance trying to spoil his plans Those fools will suffer and meet his demands They blew up the death star an impossible shot A young rebel named Luke, coming in hot Darth Vader Darth Vader Darth Vader Half man and half machine, yeah Celebrate now because this ain't the end He'll soon be back to take his revenge Darth Vader Darth Vader Darth Vader Half man and half machine, yeah

I grew up surrounded by sand My home was a desolate waste land I craved adventure, something more Be careful what you wish for I'm on the run It's no fun Some chosen one... I'm Vader's son The Batttle of Yavin dawned a new day Although the Sith Lord got away Galactic freedom will have to wait Must I decide my fathers fate? I'm on the run It's no fun Some chosen one... I'm Vader's son I know there's good within him So I surrender to them We fought the Dark Side away I found and lost you on the same day I'm on the run It's no fun Some chosen one... I'm Vader's son

Zuckuss 02:24
4 Feet, assume nothing Brown robes, bug helmet on my head 4-LOM, helps me on my bounties Cross us and you’ll wind up dead Uncanny sense, for tracking down quarry Feel you hiding through the ripples in The Force Hyperspace, is no escape Before you’ve plotted I already know your course Flight is useless You’re going nowhere You can’t evade me and you’re gonna see When I show up I bring the ruckus You’re gonna learn you don’t mess with Zuckuss Respirator, I breathe ammonia But even now, I can smell your fear I’m getting closer, the chase is over Huntsman rituals have brought you near

My CO was feeling really mean He stationed me out here on Tattooine Just like shifting sand, the time it moves so slow When you're out riding on the Dewback Patrol Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oah, Dewback Patrol Twin suns mean unrelenting heat Backwater oven's got me feeling beat I'm dreaming every night of a place where it gets cold When I wake I'm back out on the Dewback Patrol Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oah, Dewback Patrol

Dengar 02:43
I make these bandages look good But let's get one thing understood If bounty you are, you won't get far from Dengar You kids think you've got what it takes You're just a batch of fresh mistakes I don't care who you are, you're not on par with Dengar Ow! My numbers speak for themselves If you can't afford me baby go somewhere else But don't you push your luck too far and try to bargain with Dengar I found Chewie on Nar Shadaa My golden ticket to Han and Leia I shocked the monkey hard, hello from Dengar Nal Hutta has a job for me A body guard for a hefty fee I'm on the mark, a battlefront star I'm Dengar Dengar Dengar Dengar Can we hear a little love for Dengar

Bossk 03:13
I've been the best since the day I was hatched Devoured my broodmates and I never looked back Spent my life honing senses to hunt, fight and kill Slew my father to take his place in the guild NO! They wouldn't have it! Every mark in the galaxy fears my name Taught Boba Fett to be the killer he became I'm the greatest hunter to come from my clan Imperial prison's no place for me, man NO! I wouldn't take it! The Scorekeeper will pay I've shown hundreds of targets to their final day Along with some others who got in the way Not even the Wookiees can stand to my rage There must have been hundreds I've killed or enslaved NO! They couldn't make it!

Vader's Fist 02:39
Republic Army commandos of the fleet Now Imperial Stormtroopers elite Hunting Jedi and those who would rebel We'll see you in Hell infidel! Vader's Fist! The 501st The best of the best The worst of the cursed To fail is death We live to fight For our dark Lord Vader All Right! Armor shined, blasters primed, fighters ready to go We've got our orders set, our efforts will not slow Get in our way you'll take a shot to the scull And a Death Star blast to wipe out your people Vader's Fist! The 501st The best of the best The worst of the cursed To fail is death We live to fight For our dark Lord Vader All Right! Vader's Fist! The 501st The best of the best The worst of the cursed To fail is death We live to fight For our dark Lord Vader All Right! Vader's Fist! Vader's Fist! Vader's Fist! The 501st! Ho!

Last Mistake 04:12
It all went down on Bespin Where Vader's trap was laid Boba Fett tracked the Falcon Gave up their hiding place The Force gave me a vision of suffering and pain I rushed to try to save the day Han frozen, went to Jabba My father took my hand Then I called out to Leia They rescued me and ran With Lando, her, and Chewie, we flew right to the fleet Then headed straight to Tattooine Way out beyond the Dune Sea That gangster took the bait We rode the skiffs and sail barge Into the trap I laid Out at the Pit of Carkoon, the Sarlaac's resting place That's where he made his last mistake

about

Imperial Entanglements is the follow-up to our 2015 debut, Intergalactic Rock N Roll. It's a heavier, darker album, but it's also much more musically diverse. Dealing with, as the name implies, troubles with The Empire, we approach the stories from the perspectives of heroes, villains, bounty hunters, and everyday soldiers.
We have had an absolute blast playing around in the Star Wars universe to write these, and hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we have enjoyed writing and playing them.
