LYRICS:

8-bit thunder cracks, neon blood rains

Graveyard sprites flicker in digital chains

Insert coin... to cleanse the night

Three warriors rise for pixelized fight

From crypts of code, the dead awaken

Rotten fists, arcade souls forsaken

Cyber fists and holy flame

Slash the night, purge the shame

Jacob’s fists, cybernetic wrath

Honghua kniifehand strikes a crimson path

Christopher’s light, divine and cold

Together they fight, fearless and bold

Midnight purge!

Let the monsters scream!

Arcade vengeance

In a pixel dream

Night Slashers!

We rise, we kill

Digital blood

Forever spills

Zombies lurch in 16-bit decay

Werewolves howl in disarray

Vampires shriek in neon pain

But heroes slash through the undead rain

“Justice is not a concept...

It’s a combo move.”

*Press forward, strike, unleash the doom*
