lyrics

(Spoken)
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the Fantasy Zone
Please rise for the singing of the Anthem of Ages
Get Ready

(SATURN)
At the end of World War II
New machines forged in blue

Brand new wave
The craze of the age
Fresh ablaze

Serving Games with such great names
Masters of the System

Sharpened blades
In the arcades
Fun in spades

Time
It passes by
Find the track and hit rewind

(Before we’re)
Lost
(We’ll) Kill the boss
Escape our fate; we’re doing great

And then In 1983
A Hero Born Under “SG”
The world was split that day
N-E-S versus S-E-G-A

But the Famicom was too brute
He took down our hero blue
A thousand blows again
And again til' the end

Time
It passes by
Find the track and hit rewind

(Before we’re)
Lost
(We’ll) Kill the boss
Escape our fate; we’re doing great

THE BATTLE BEGINS
WE PAY FOR OUR SINS
THOUGH SUPER WE’RE NOT
WE’VE COME TO END YOUR PLOT

A VICIOUS NEW SCHEME
YOUR MIND CONTROL MACHINE
OPPRESSORS WILL PAY
WE’LL MEGA DRIVE THEM AWAY

JOIN US IN HANDS
WE’LL FIND NEW LANDS
THIS ISN’T A GAME
SO GEAR UP FOR THE PAIN

In 1995 we fought to stay alive
Dreams at Night
Virtual Fights
In our sights

Peace could reign at last
But our fates in time were cast

The damage was done
War had begun
We had to run

(We will see it through)

AD 2101: humanity is on a course for destruction, the wheels of which began turning over a century ago. The last Great Console War ended in the era of Mode 7, leading to unforeseeable cataclysmic events.

Mankind's last hope rides on the shoulders of 5 warriors trained in propaganda, guerrilla warfare, & catchy melodies.

Their mission: to travel back to the past to save the world with rock!
