    DISCLAIMER: UA-cam is doing something really funky with the description, and no matter what I do, it keeps erasing my edits and formatting. I'll try to fix it later once UA-cam calms the heck down. In the mean time, here are the lyrics:
    Verse 1
    Rolling out from Clan Wolf’s lair,
    A new beast built to tear and snare,
    They say the Timber’s getting slow,
    So here comes Linebacker, ready to go.
    Endo Steel frame, ferro plates strong,
    With a speed that carries the pack along,
    In battles fierce, where speed’s the key,
    The wolves cry, “Run wild and free!”
    Chorus 1
    Linebacker, thunder on the prowl,
    Hunting fast, taking ground mile by mile,
    Clad in steel, with a deadly flair,
    Running with the Wolves, no time to spare.
    Verse 2
    Phelan and Natasha, their vision clear,
    They made a warrior to strike with fear,
    Power thrums with an engine’s beat,
    97 k’s to outpace defeat.
    Crusaders growl, but they can’t deny,
    When the Starmates charge, it's do or die,
    So Linebacker takes its stand,
    A weapon forged by warrior hands.
    Chorus 2
    Linebacker, forged in fire and steel,
    A Warden’s pride, in every battlefield,
    With laser lights and missiles loud,
    It’s the ‘Mech that makes the Wolves proud.
    Verse 3
    With twin ER PPCs aglow,
    Striking far where the missiles flow,
    Prime config for long-range wrath,
    Clear a path in a blazing blast.
    But close up, it’s just as fierce,
    With Streaks that strike, armor they pierce,
    From rear to front, it’s fully armed,
    No escape from the 'Mech’s alarm.
    Chorus 3
    Linebacker, long-range, close-combat king,
    Every battle, the death knell rings,
    A hunter’s speed, with a deadly grace,
    Clan Wolf’s pride in every place.
    Verse 4
    Exiled Wolves still hold it near,
    For they know the path that led them here,
    Built by Khans with Warden ties,
    Yet Crusaders see through wary eyes.
    But as the Clan wars rage and burn,
    The Linebacker takes every turn,
    Speed and power, side by side,
    In the heat of war, the Wolves abide.
    Chorus 4
    Linebacker, strong through battle’s roar,
    Running with the pack forevermore,
    Clan Wolf’s shield, in fight and strife,
    Bound to the Wolves, for all its life.

    If this was the same linebacker in the NFL I'd watch more football. Great song again.

    Man the Linebacker is my preferred Clan mech.

    You know the linebacker will throw a hail mary arrow V at you well more specifically your cockpit

    This track goes freakin' HARD. I'll be adding this to my gym mix, no doubt! If you can listen to this and not get pumped... I feel sorry for you.

    It seemed odd Clan Wolf would have a mech named for American football. You'd think Clan Ghost Bear, having played football to decide the fate of a world, would've been a closer match. Plus this is a fast mech & the Bears love speed.
    I'm biased, being a Ghost Bear fanboy, so I could be looking at it wrong.
