Shoot The Core (The 8-Bit MSX Remix) - Gradius ReCoded

[Intro] [Verse 1] (Male Vocals - Gritty) Out in the stars, a shadow descends A giant of metal, I can't see its end It’s blocking the path, it fills up my screen A blue glowing heart in a fighting machine (Female Vocals - Clean, high reverb) Up. Down. High. Low. It moves to the beat. (Male Vocals) The heat is getting higher (Female Vocals) Stay out of sight (Both) Blast away the shielding, turn the heart red One mistake now and the mission is dead! [Chorus] (Both - Anthemic, Power Harmony) SHOOT THE CORE! Break the shield, hear the monster scream! SHOOT THE CORE! Kill the beast, tear apart the seam! Dodge the fire, find the floor, Make it count! SHOOT THE CORE! [Verse 2] (Male Vocals) The pattern repeats, it’s locked in a loop Four beams of death, each set on their route The shields are fading, starting to glow My shots hit their mark, it's heartbeat drops low Fire. Move. Fire. Move Crack the algorithm. [Pre-Chorus] (Male Vocals) The barriers are breaking! (Female Vocals) The heart turns to red (Male Vocals) THE BARRIERS ARE BREAKING! (Female Vocals) Keep pushing ahead (Both) Blast away the shielding, strip away the steel Show the evil empire exactly how you feel! [Chorus] (Both - Anthemic, Power Harmony) SHOOT THE CORE! Break the shield, hear the monster scream! SHOOT THE CORE! Kill the beast, tear apart the seam! Dodge the fire, find the floor, Make it count! SHOOT THE CORE! [Chorus] (Both - Anthemic, Power Harmony) SHOOT THE CORE! Break the shield, hear the monster scream! SHOOT THE CORE! Kill the beast, tear apart the seam! Dodge the fire, find the floor, Make it count! SHOOT THE CORE!
