LYRICS:
“This is AMS. The city’s gone dark. The dead walk. And we’re the last line.”
“Initiate Zed Protocol.”
They rose from the labs in a corporate tomb
Genetic mistakes in a neon womb
Sega’s sins in a silicon shell
Now the streets are a bio-forged hell
Rotting fists punch through arcade glass
Quarter-fed vengeance, no time to pass
You chose Stick, Linda, or Riki to fight
But the undead swarm in pixelated blight
“Project Zed! Project Zed!”
Unleashed the virus, now the city’s dead
“Project Zed! Project Zed!”
Thrash through the graveyard, paint the pavement red
Zombie Revenge!
No pause, no peace, no reset
Zombie Revenge!
Arcade justice in a blood-soaked sunset
Zombie Revenge!
Thrash the dead ‘til the screen goes black
Zombie Revenge!
Insert soul, and never look back
From the sewers to the neon mall
They lurch and crawl, they scream and brawl
Chainsaw teeth and acid breath
Every boss fight’s a dance with death
Linda’s rage, Stick’s cold resolve
Riki’s fists make corpses dissolve
AMS agents with nothing to lose
Thrash in the ruins, no time to choose
DNA twisted, revenge encrypted
The undead code has been decrypted
Sega’s shame in a cabinet of pain
Thrash ‘til the joystick snaps in vain
The mansion burns, the lab explodes
Final boss in corrupted mode
He speaks in glitches, bleeds in flame
A god of rot with no true name
You fight with fists, you fight with fire
You fight with rage and pure desire
No save states here, no second chance
Just metal fury in a death dance
Zombie Revenge!
No pause, no peace, no reset
Zombie Revenge!
Arcade justice in a blood-soaked sunset
Zombie Revenge!
Thrash the dead ‘til the screen goes black
Zombie Revenge!
Insert soul, and never look back
“The city’s silent. But the dead remember.”
“Revenge never dies.”
