LYRICS:

From the depths of neon tombs, where shadows scream in code

A cursed machine awakens, its hunger overload

Digital decay, the crypts begin to stir

Rotting sprites arise, pixelated souls concur

CRYPT KILLER!

Summon the dead with a coin-fed spell

CRYPT KILLER!

Shoot through the gates of arcade hell

CRYPT KILLER!

No escape from the cursed domain

CRYPT KILLER!

Blood and bytes in a death refrain

Ghoul-infested catacombs, the joystick guides your fate

Trigger-happy vengeance, no time to hesitate

Mummies lurch in stuttering frames, demons glitch and crawl

You blast their bones to data dust, annihilate them all

Reload the wrath, your light gun screams

Through haunted halls and shattered dreams

Bosses rise with pixel pride

But you’re the death that won’t subside

CRYPT KILLER!

Summon the dead with a coin-fed spell

CRYPT KILLER!

Shoot through the gates of arcade hell

CRYPT KILLER!

No escape from the cursed domain

CRYPT KILLER!

Blood and bytes in a death refrain

Final stage, the crypt king waits

A throne of skulls, a glitch in fate

You fire true, his code unwinds

The killer wins, but death still binds...

CRYPT KILLER!

Forever trapped in arcade time!
