(Intro) (A classic loading-screen hum. Then, a sudden explosion of 3-channel polyphony—a fast, heroic melody that sounds like 1987 in a box. The drum beat is a relentless, driving "chug-chug-chug" of a military engine.) Verse 1 Launch from the ship, the deck is signed in oil The radar’s going frantic as the heavy clouds boil Engines are screaming, the afterburners glow We’re hunting for the target in the valley down below Switch the perspective, from the top to the rear The Typhoon is coming, and the mission is clear! Pre-Chorus From the scrolling blue ocean to the city of light We’re the tip of the spear in the middle of the fight Targeting computer, lock ‘em in the heat We never know the meaning of the word "defeat!" Chorus Typhoon! Cutting through the code Heavy metal thunder on a digital road Typhoon! Flying through the spray Washing all the enemies of freedom away From the sky to the ground, we’re the masters of the air Typhoon is the answer to the soldier’s prayer! Verse 2 Switch to the Chopper, hover low in the trees Picking off the tanks with a mechanical ease Crosshair is steady, the vulcan starts to hum The syndicate is trembling, they know that we’ve come Through the 3D ruins where the fireballs fly We’re writing out our legend in the 8-bit sky! Pre-Chorus From the scrolling blue ocean to the city of light We’re the tip of the spear in the middle of the fight Targeting computer, lock ‘em in the heat We never know the meaning of the word "defeat!" Chorus Typhoon! Cutting through the code Heavy metal thunder on a digital road Typhoon! Flying through the spray Washing all the enemies of freedom away From the sky to the ground, we’re the masters of the air Typhoon is the answer to the soldier’s prayer! Bridge (The music shifts into a dramatic, slow-tempo boss theme. Heavy bass hits.) Warning! Warning! The Mother-Ship is near... Armor plating heavy... But we don't know fear! (A frantic, high-pitched solo—mimicking a joystick being rattled back and forth during a dogfight.) Chorus Typhoon! Cutting through the code Heavy metal thunder on a digital road Typhoon! Flying through the spray Washing all the enemies of freedom away From the sky to the ground, we’re the masters of the air Typhoon is the answer to the soldier’s prayer! Outro Typhoon! (Mission Accomplished) Typhoon! (Return to Base) Yeah, we’re the kings of the sky! (The song ends with the classic "Game Over" jingle from the C64 version, followed by a screen-clearing explosion sound.)
