Bits Of War
------------
[Verse 1]
Red flag raised on the raster field
Blue code marching in a metal line
Command line crown on a cracked old screen
Commodore kingdom past its prime
Cartridge smoke in the living room
Thumbs bruised raw
Eyes wired wide
Pixel soldiers in a plastic tomb
Saving worlds on a Saturday night
[Pre-Chorus]
Eight bits bleed
Sixteen scream
Thirty-two teeth
In the war machine
[Chorus]
Red versus Blue
On the screen
In my head
Tiny caskets made of squares and lead
Press start
Press on
Till the final breath
Rock and thunder in this bitmap death
Red versus Blue
And the battle never ends
[Verse 2]
Glitch flag flickers on a jagged hill
Blue base burning in a jag of light
Every life just a counter spill
Every loss just a blinking fright
Old god humming in a beige gray box
Power light halo on a plastic throne
We pledge heart
Hand
Hope and clocks
To a war we fight from a swivel chair home
[Pre-Chorus]
Eight bits rise
Sixteen fall
Thirty-two ghosts
Marching down the hall
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I am the king of nothing
Ruler of RAM and heat
[whispered vocals] Choir of fans keeps buzzing
Drums of keys repeat
Repeat
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]

Pixel Crusade
--------------
[Intro]
Boot screen glow
Load game
One coin
Enter name
[Verse 1]
Red banners flicker on the left side wall
Blue helmets lining up
Ready to fall
Steel boots clack on a pixel floor
General stands like a carved Commodore
[Chorus]
Red versus blue in a pixel crusade
Eight-bit thunder
Sixteen-bit blade
We clash in color
We crash like code
All for a kingdom in a ruined ROM
Red versus blue
And the crowd screams on
[Verse 2]
Glitch sky cracks with a raster storm
Health bar blinking in a brutal swarm
I see your visor in the scanline haze
Old rival coded in my childhood days
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Are we soldiers
Or just sprites on rails?
High score halos
Over mass graves of fails
[Full voice, choir behind]
Raise your guns to the hidden hand
Who wrote this war in assembly sand
If we break the loop
If we cut that cord
Do we crash the game
Or become the Lord?
[repeat]
[Chorus]
