Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:

Cracked stone gates, moonlight bleeds

Three guns drawn through haunted scenes

Liv’s last scream in the static haze

We breach the tomb where evil plays

Shotgun justice, pistol wrath

We carve through death on a cursed path

Arcane whispers, blood-soaked lore

We kick down Evil’s rotting door

Raise the steel, against the spirits blight

We purge the night with lead and fight

Chainsaw priest, serpent spawn

We fight ‘til cursed flesh is gone

Exorcist protocol —

No mercy in this final brawl

Black book burns in Alicia’s hand

The evil lies beneath the land

Ball and chain, the lizard king

We crush their bones with every swing

Charge the barrel, pierce the swarm

Through cryptic halls and demon storms

The journal speaks, the paintings cry

Liv’s bloodline cursed to never die

Raise the steel, against the spirits blight

We purge the night with lead and fight

Chainsaw priest, serpent spawn

We fight ‘til cursed flesh is gone

Exorcist protocol —

No mercy in this final brawl

In the graveyard, the beast takes flight

Horned and winged, born of night

Liv chants the spell, the black book glows

We blast the fiend ‘til silence grows

No console port, no second chance

Arcade souls in a death dance

Three-player pact, undead undone

We beat the game, we finally won!

Raise the steel, against the spirits blight

We purge the night with lead and fight

Chainsaw priest, serpent spawn

We fight ‘til cursed flesh is gone

Exorcist protocol —

Victory in the devil’s hall

“After that day, we never heard that evil voice again…”
