LYRICS:

Welcome to the nightmare…

Reload or rot.

Cyber-squad dropped in the dead zone trench

Trigger fingers twitch, the air is stench

Mutant bile rains from the sky

Arcade hell — no time to die

Bio-warriors rise from the crypt

Flesh fused with steel, jaws unzipped

Neon blood on the HUD display

Shoot to kill or be prey

Three guns, one fate

Locked in the gate

Second nightmare — escalate!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

No pause, no peace!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

Unleash the beast!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

Reload, repeat!

Arcade death in the city streets!

Boss fight — grotesque and vile

Tentacle limbs, corrupted file

Screaming heads in a data storm

Pixelated death becomes the norm

Elevator descent into madness

Each floor a new breed of sadness

Zombie cops and demon dogs

Fog of war in digital smog

*THRASH! THRASH!*

Through the sewer of sin

*CRASH! CRASH!*

Let the purge begin

*BASH! BASH!*

Every beast must fall

Arcade judgment — kill them all!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

No pause, no peace!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

Unleash the beast!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

Reload, repeat!

Arcade death in the city streets!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

No save, no cheat!

SECOND NIGHTMARE!

Just blood and meat!

Insert coin…

If you dare.
