    Story Behind the Song
    In this track, our hero is recruited by the Sendai corporation to extract a scientist from Matushiba, a rival zaibatsu (powerful multinational corporation). He understands that this is a essentially a suicide mission; anyone entering the Matsushiba building on such a mission is unlikely to leave. Indulging his self-destructive impulses, he agrees to the mission, and assembles a team of 6 other mercs for the run.

    In this world -- subject to the deified marketplace, slave to the Machine -- these soulless men might just be tragic heroes, angels fallen from the ideals of transcendent grace into the desperate struggle for survival.

    Lyrics
    iv) Seven Samurai
    I don't know them, but they sure know me:
    Hired guns from Sendai Arcology
    Silken black ties, mirrors in their eyes:
    Sendai wants the edge, and they'll pay the price…
    No, I haven't got a choice.

    They've made me an offer, I can't refuse:
    "Put a team together, there's work to do:
    Retrieve the technophile mastermind-
    The Matsushiba mezzanine in the sky
    He's waiting deep inside."

    We've got intentions to infiltrate the spire -
    The corporate ladder is getting higher and higher.
    Seven samurai will devastate the Corporation-
    Countdown to zero, commence the operation.

    I've scoured the underworld, for firepower -
    Put a team together, to take the Tower -
    Suicidal, I don't care if I die
    Life is worthless when it's just a lie
    Time to say goodbye.

    We've got intentions to infiltrate the spire -
    The corporate ladder is getting higher and higher.
    Seven samurai will devastate the Corporation-
    There are no choices in a world of desperation

    Between the gears of this sordid Machine -
    Within this fascist society unclean -
    (Mercenary tools …)
    There's no day on this side of night
    Bound in chains of command we fight
    (Fate is cruel …)
    Someday we'll erase this neon dream
    Burn away the edges of this regime
    (Pawns and fools …)
    We know what we must do … we must do!

    Two hundred floors of hell, a million ways to die:
    Corporate death squads, security A.I.
    At the summit above, the End awaits:
    Devils rising, storming Heaven's gate…
    Pray that it's not too late …

    We've got intentions to infiltrate the spire -
    The corporate ladder is getting higher and higher.
    Six street samurai, just cover me; I need your guns
    Take down resistance, while I make my run …
