Prompt / Lyrics

(Intro - The sound of the 8-bit game start, which changes into a modern, aggressive synth arpeggio and a fast electronic beat) (Verse 1) Welcome to the system where life is just a number line, Ninjago is far away, Unagami's betrayal reigns here. I changed my suit, I changed the world, I only have three lives and I can't go back. The neon lights are burning in my eyes, I watch this game spin around me. The guys disappear into the data, only I am left, The green line of life is slowly sinking.(Pre-chorus) A moment of silence before the next level hits, I feel the code that crawled under my skin. I hear the voice that haunts me in my dreams, A digital echo that dusts my hope. (Chorus) I'm a player in an arena where death is just a restart, But my heart is not a code, it's not just a start! I fight avatars that have your face, Prime Empire absorbs my inner glow. Unagami watches my every fall, But I'm a ninja that won't let you control me! A green flash in the digital darkness, This game ends... now and with me! (Verse 2) Then it happened, the code suddenly changed, Before my eyes, the shadow transformed into you. Harumi... I know you're just a bunch of data and lies, But the pain inside me still weighs just as much. You raise your sword, you attack my fear, You try to break me in these game corridors. But I know what is real and what is just an illusion, Even in this machine I have a memory of you.(Bridge - Music progresses to hard industrial rock, sounds of glitches and digital breakdowns) Error in the system! I'm breaking the rules! I didn't come to play, I came to fight! My power is not in the pixels, it's in my team, I'll get out of this game, I'll get out of this smoke! Game Over for you, this is my world! (Chorus) I'm a player in an arena where death is just a restart, But my heart is not a code, it's not just a start! I fight avatars that have your face, Prime Empire absorbs my inner glow. Unagami watches my every fall, But I'm a ninja that won't let you control me! (Outro - Sound of a slot machine shutting down, slow tone decline) Insert coin... no, I'm done. Level completed. I'm going home. (Song ends with the sound of "Game Over" in retro style)
