LYRICS:

Welcome to the pit of pixel pain — Exidy’s shrine of gore,

Stage one ignites the massacre, behind the cabinet’s core.

Four souls twitch in medieval hell, strapped and screaming mute,

No mercy, no escape — the light gun is absolute.

Chained to stone, the wall-bound man — blast his limbs to bone,

Flesh chunks fly in crimson arcs, his agony full-blown.

Guillotine awaits its cue — shoot the blade, let it fall,

Decapitation rendered clean, arcade death enthralls.

Woman writhes in twisted steel, a “strange machine” of doom,

Each shot peels her sanity, blood geysers fill the room.

Head vise clamps the final soul — crush his skull with lead,

Trigger the iron jaws of fate, until his brain is shred.

Blood pools flood the pixel floor, limbs strewn in arcade haze,

Cabinet hums with death’s delight, Exidy’s cursed maze.

Shoot each part, not once but more — reduce to blood and bone,

Score climbs high with mutilation, in this torture zone.

No enemies, no fight, no chance — just victims locked in place,

A shooter built for slaughter, not for honor or for grace.

Monster Meter drops with screams, time ticks like a blade,

The Exidy 440 sings — a requiem arcade.

Slot machine awaits the cruel, bonus points for pain,

But first you must erase the flesh, leave only bloodstained grain.

Hidden targets mock your aim, secrets in the screen,

Shoot them all, unlock the round, where death becomes routine.

Chiller’s chamber, stage one reigns — grotesque, obscene, profane,

A light gun game of torture porn, in coin-op’s bloodstained name.

No redemption, no defense — just carnage on display,

Arcade horror crystallized — the Chiller starts to play.
