Lyrics NESkimos - Metroid Norfair Tenement Blues

Arriving with confidence
After countless stretches of time
Heady with pleasant sensations
Sweet proximity

(Armor integrity percentage holding at 95)

No one ever made reference to
Or acted as if they knew of
Or winked at each other surreptitiously
About the creatures that rule this envious land

"Infestations can be dealt with"
I think to myself as I grit my teeth
Determined to take back this land
Where the lava glows and warms the worthy

(Armor integrity percentage has dropped to 61)

Jealousy, bitterness, loneliness and anger
All will fuel me now as the rest falls away
Save me, save me
Save me, save yourself

"One and two and through and through"
I chant to myself
As my missiles track in and I'm already reloading
And now I've taken hundreds of them
But I hear the slithering of thousands more
And pummeled with fear and awash with regret
I drop to one knee and lower my head
And armor integrity at 9 percent now

Rage and fear and doubt and avarice
Pain and hate and sweat and fury
Pettiness, loss, and insecurity
All will fuel me now as the rest falls away
Save me, save me
Save me, save yourself
