Death Race
By ARCAIDE Arrangements · Thrash Metal · From the album Arcade Onslaught
(Death Race) Death Race is the first song off Arcade Onslaught, a double album filled with songs with lyrics inspired by old school coin-op arcade games. The song was inspired by the late 1970's arcade classic Death Race (of course).

LYRICS:
Insert coin... to erase the soul
Digital graveyard, blacktop patrol
Steel and shadow in neon haze
Gear Shift judgment, the end of days
Pedestrians scream in digital fright
Rubber burns throughout the night
No mercy in the monochrome
Every crash a requiem tone
Tiny stick men, they beg and flee
But death rides fast in binary
Death Race!
Drive through the damned
Death Race!
Score with every slam
Death Race!
Arcade apocalypse
Death Race!
Where innocence slips
Grim reaper coded in 8-bit flame
High score etched in the hall of shame
Digital sinners, pixel prey
One more quarter to end the day
No escape from the flashing tomb
The cabinet hums a funeral tune
Laughing sprites in a death ballet
Game over comes, but you must play
Death Race!
Drive through the damned
Death Race!
Score with every slam
Death Race!
Arcade apocalypse
Death Race!
Where innocence slips
Insert coin...
Insert coin...
Insert coin...
To erase the soul...
