Chrome Shuriken Dragonfire

A song about growing up with 8 bit sprites as your only friends. A tribute to C64 and the escapsim of 80ies computer games. It's a bit of a pop-ish production, I know, but I'm not singing about love or anything like that.. I'm singing about sprites.

Thanks guys! Here are the lyrics:

Chrome
Shuriken Dragon Fire
Samurai Monster Slayer
A shadow of beast - to the east

Roam
The temple of shoguns
The roads of the outruns
A planet alone - to be found

Sprites
The childhood rites
Those rasterized mights
The eight bit fights

Obey
The laws of the robots
The goddess of phobos
A turtle possessed - to the west

Stay
In the worlds of another
Beyond the turbotape loader
A planet to stay - far away

Sprites
The childhood rites
Those rasterized mights
The eight bit fights

you are singing about love, just not the way you think. and it's just about perfect.

I didn't care for the vox at first, until you printed the lyrics. Once I could properly tell what you were singing, it was suddenly a lot more fantastic. It was already pretty fantastic, with the synth, but doubly so, now.
