*[Intro – police siren fades into war drums, robotic voice]* "Dead or alive... you're coming with me." *[Verse 1 – aggressive rap over pounding drums]* Murphy's dead, the badge remains, OCP rebuilt me, rewired my brains, Prime directives etched in steel, Serve, protect — you know the deal. Boddicker, you should've stayed down, Now I'm the law in this whole town, ED-209 couldn't do the job, So they built a viking... Robocop! *[Chorus – massive trance drop]* STEEL! VALHALLA! DETROIT! Dead or alive, you're coming with me! Through the fire, through the ice and snow, Where the neon Vikings go! STEEL! VALHALLA! DETROIT! Uphold the law eternally! A warrior forged in winter's cold — A story that'll never get old! *[Verse 2 – rap, darker]* Clarence thought that he was clever, Now he's sleeping with the fishes forever, Dick Jones tried to pull my plug, Now he's just a bloodstain on the rug. They took my hand, they took my life, Gave me steel and endless strife, But a viking's heart beats in this chest, I'll never stop, I'll never rest! *[Breakdown – drums only, spoken]* "They built me to obey... but the man inside remembers. Alex Murphy had a wife. Had a son. Had a name. You can melt the steel... but you can't kill the flame." *[Verse 3 – rap, fastest flow yet]* Night falls on the Motor City streets, Where the viking steel and the criminal meets, Auto-9 spitting fire in the dark, Every round hits with a viking's mark! Kane's a junkie with a metal spine, Cain's a preacher past his prime, But I'm the future, can't you see? Half man, half machine, all... VIKING! *[Bridge – half-time, haunting synth]* "Serve the public trust... protect the innocent... uphold the law..." But what is law to a ghost in the machine? A man of steel with a viking dream... In Valhalla's halls, the warriors wait, But Detroit still needs me... I can't be late. *[Build – rising synths, drums intensify]* Dead... or... alive... Dead... or... ALIVE! *[Final Chorus – bigger, key change, double length]* STEEL! VALHALLA! DETROIT! Dead or alive, you're coming with me! From the ashes, I will rise, A steel god beneath northern skies! STEEL! VALHALLA! DETROIT! The law is eternal, can't you see? STEEL! VALHALLA! DETROIT! No mercy for the guilty! I'd buy that for a dollar — immortality! *[Outro – robotic, fading over distant war horns]* "Thank you for your cooperation... good night."
