[Intro] [Verse 1] Dropped alone on Zee-bess, no backup and no ride, nothing but the armor and a cannon at my side, the doors down here don't open till you shoot 'em, so I shoot, and the things down in the tunnels learn to hate my boots. [Chorus] Down, down, deeper underground, past the lava and the bones, down, down, till the Mother Brain is found — and I'm doin' it alone. [Verse 2] Kraid had spikes along his belly, Ridley flew on wings of flame, I left 'em both in Norfair, and their statues knew my name. [Chorus] Down, down, deeper underground, past the lava and the bones, down, down, till the Mother Brain is found — and I'm doin' it alone. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Mother Brain behind the glass, Metroids clinging to my back, the alarms say sixty seconds, and I'm running up the shaft. [Final Chorus] Down, down, deeper underground, past the lava and the bones, down, down, till the Mother Brain is found — and I'm doin' it alone. [Outro] The planet blew behind me, and I watched it from the stars, then I took the helmet off and shook my hair down.
