This is the story of a golden age.
A tale of vektor powered, coined operated machines

He ruled the suburbs in Paper Boy. He threw the papers like no one else
With A fistful of quarters, he ruled the lair. Game over - not on his display.
He is the closest.thing you'll ever come to a yedi knight.
Street Fighter you better be aware - (because) he will strike you down.

Arcade Warrior
Behind the screen
He's the king

As kids chose to stay home and play their games
No one came to see him beat the hi scores no more
It was new technology that led to his success
Sadly the same force led to distress
Once a hero of the arcade floor
Now forced to resign from his throne

The video game console was his demise.
Outrun by the NES

Pac-Man, Asteroids,
Space Invaders, I bid thee adieu

Arcade Warrior
Behind the screen
He's the king

In his darkest hours he turned to the streets
Not ready yet to accept his defeat
Prowling the night, Looking for a fight
Beaten, downtrodden. Ready to rise again..
The light from the pawnshop - hit him like a lightning strike
A fierce attacker - the world would soon see
In the Shape of V - his soon to be
Started to play until this day
A stringed axeman delivering the goods

Metal Warrior
On the scene
Now he's the king
