[Intro]
Ink on the ribbon
Save in the slot
Red herb on my tongue
Heart still hot (hah)
[Verse 1]
Walked in on a grayscale screen
Tank steps, fixed frame, pre-rendered dream
Mansion keys, typewriter seams
Dog through the glass and I learned to scream
File on the desk, code in the creases
Spencer’s name in a house of diseases
Back then fear moved piece by piece
Every door load bought two heartbeats (yeah)
Then city burned, sirens in smoke
Alleys of teeth, blue shirt soaked
Rookie with a badge and a borrowed hope
Claire on a bike, both still broke
Lab in the dirt, logo in chrome
Umbrella on every chromosome
From stairwell moans to tyrant throne
Whole franchise built on a broken home
[Chorus]
Resident evil, level up the terror
From pixels to pores in a mirror’s glare (oh)
Same virus, different era
New mask on the same old error
Resident evil, every gen gets darker
Same nightmare, just a sharper marker
Press start on another scar
We keep running but we never that far
[Verse 2]
Then it flipped to the village abroad
Ganados pray to a parasite god
Over‑the‑shoulder, closer to jaws
Chainsaw hymn, no safety clause
Merchant laugh, coat full of sin
“Whatcha buyin’?” pulled me in
Las Plagas nesting under the skin
Whole new language for the dread within
Then came the cult in the rotten corn
Family meal where you wish you weren’t born
First‑person eyes, mold in the boards
VR hands shake on the rusted doors
Baker house, every creak confesses
Found‑footage scream in the southern stresses
Body horror in the Sunday dresses
Old ghosts wearing brand‑new addresses (ugh)
[Chorus]
Resident evil, level up the terror
From pixels to pores in a mirror’s glare
Same virus, different era
New mask on the same old error
Resident evil, every gen gets darker
Same nightmare, just a sharper marker
Press start on another scar
We keep running but we never that far
[Bridge]
From Raccoon rain to eastern snow
From lab coat lies to castle glow
Every decade, engine grows
But that red logo still knows (still knows)
You can patch the code, change the view
Swap the frame rate, change the crew
But in the dark when it stares through you
It’s the same old fear with a new menu
[Chorus]
Resident evil, level up the terror
From pixels to pores in a mirror’s glare
Same virus, different era
New mask on the same old error
Resident evil, every gen gets darker
Same nightmare, just a sharper marker
Press start on another scar
We keep running but we never that far (never that far)
