Something big was built in the Kuat yards
160 km wide, you see
With engines of Class 4 hyperdrives
And it had a tractor beam
Superlaser Mk.I
15,000 turbolaser batteries
Laser cannons, ion cannons, T.I.E.s inside
1.2 million mouths to feed

(Chorus)
We all live in an Imperial Death Machine
Imperial Death Machine, Imperial Death Machine
We all live in an Imperial Death Machine
Imperial Death Machine, Imperial Death Machine

25,000 Stormtroopers aboard
One million Kt is stored
We hunt Rebels on our way

(Chorus)

("Alderaan is dead, Leia, tears she shed
Now look out for Dantooine
No, we must find the Rebels, the Rebels
Yavin IV can't be denied
Into action, into action!")

Here approach some X-wings
Down a trench- can they succeed?
Leaders Gold and Red, Luke's guide unseen
Proton torpedoes hit like Luke's T-16*

(Chorus)

[Yavin IV finale]

We all DIED in an Imperial Death Machine
Imperial Death Machine, Imperial Death Machine
