Video Game Legends, Pt. 1

(album: Nerdstorm - 2014)

Here's Gordon Freeman
Ironically enough, not a free man
When you can't get a job done, he can
Working 24/7 for the G-Man
Living half a life, now he's half-alive
After all the times he was apt to die
But nothing's gonna stop him even gravity
Got a Mark V suit, like the Master Chief

He needs no introduction
Known for the Covenant's destruction
He thinks warfare's just a game
When he's on the battlefield
You can hear him say
Yo, this looks like a job for me
Haven't had a break since Halo 3
Give it up for John-117
Because a Halo's empty without me

Master Sword strapped on his back
And he's well-practiced in magic
Only time will tell if he can break the spell
Whenever Zelda gets held captive
No, he will never let the Hyrule Castle
Fall into the hands of Ganondorf
Link, you're just a boy today
But tomorrow you'll be man enough

This hero's biggest rival
Is the cold hard bitch survival
Getting out alive is hard enough
Unless your name is Lara Croft
Bow and arrow on her side
Keep that fire burning bright
Give her an obstacle, she'll make it through
Nobody better never try to raid her tomb

We'll never, forget them
The heroes through the ages
Remember, these Legends
Through all these turning pages
They stand for the weak and the small
And their fight is honest and righteous
They've come and they've gone through time
But all their battles are timeless

Careful where you seek your faith
Your man-made commandments
Won't keep you safe
Altair is here with a secret blade
He's gonna stab your back after a leap of faith
Upon behalf of the Assassin's Creed
Your death is quite a necessity
He'll keep this feather to help remember
What he's got to pass onto
Desmond's ancestors

They call him Solid Snake
The kind of man who's hard to break
Metal Gears fear his name
If anything kills him, it's not his age
Trust me he'll make it known
Won't hesitate to break your bones
Sneaking Suit is strapped on tight
Time to make some mecha tanks explode

Stomping the heads of Koopas and Goombas
Last name Mario, first name Super
Always going in and out of pipes
With a couple mushrooms
Bring you down to size
He's a money-hungry plumber
Brother looking for cash
By the time he beat Bowser, his wallet was fat
Riding in on Yoshi, to save the day
You don't have to take him to bed Peach
Just bake him a cake. He'll be happy

The blood that's on his sword
Is from the God of War
Kratos has been through dimensions
Where no mortal has gone before
Sins of his past still stain him white
He's slaughtered Titans and Gods alike
No, not a single one of 'em was hard to fight
Does that make him a God?
You're goddamn right!

We'll never, forget them
The heroes through the ages
Remember, these Legends
Through all these turning pages
They stand for the weak and the small
And their fight is honest and righteous
They've come and they've gone through time
But all their battles are timeless

Outgunned, outnumbered
This mission is suicide
But he'll take that as a challenge
Nothing's gonna stop old Captain Price
Never underestimate Bravo Six
Nobody's better with an M4 than John is
He lives to fight, because after all it's
Just another day at the office

Oh no here come the Reapers
We are on the brink of extinction
Galactic collapse is eminent
Better let Commander Shepard handle it
He's gotta get to the Citadel
And make some friends
Find a way to get your enemies to make amends
If anybody can get it done, then Shepard can
Now stand as one with the rest of them
And the Reapers?
Make sure nothing's left of them

Everybody else can get lost
Cause you can't keep up with this Hedge Hog
The evil plots of Doctor Robotnik
Are always gonna get stopped by Sonic
Cause he's got quite an awesome motley crew
Knuckles, Tails, and Amy too
They waste no time
When they hit the ground running
Picking up golden rings by the dozen

Hell-spawned undead assassin
Hell-bent on getting vengeance
Nothing's gonna stop Scorpion
If you get in his path you're surely done
"Get over here!" Everybody get back
If you don't wanna get a bad case of whip lash
Mortal Kombat! And the match begins
Good luck Sub-Zero you'll need it man!

Chowing down pellets as fast as he can
But he never gets fat, cause he's the Pac Man
Up-down, left-right, don't get confused
Keep running around until you get some fruit
You're out of luck, if you think you can hide
From Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde
If any of 'em touch you, you're gonna die
Its okay Pac Man, you got a couple more lives

We'll never, forget them
The heroes through the ages
Remember, these Legends
Through all these turning pages
They stand for the weak and the small
And their fight is honest and righteous
They've come and they've gone through time
But all their battles are timeless
