Verse 1 Back in ‘74, the games came alive, Magnavox Odyssey – the first console to arrive. Pong on the screen, a dot bouncing ‘round, Two paddles, one dream, in that digital sound. Pre-Chorus Then came Atari, firing up the scene, Space Invaders, defending the screen. Pac-Man in mazes, ghosts on his tail, We crushed every level, never would fail. Chorus From pixel to pixel, from level to level, We’re the pixel heroes on the retro-rebel. From 8-bit to 16, from block to polygon, Our story’s never over, we’re still carrying on! Verse 2 Nintendo stepped in, an Italian star, Mario jumping to worlds afar. Zelda, Metroid, heroes were born, Consoles and pixels, our memories worn. Pre-Chorus Then Sega rolled up, Sonic took off in a flash, Game Boy in backpacks, surviving the clash. Tetris blocks falling, right in our laps, We’re the gamers who rose from the arcades’ traps. Chorus From pixel to pixel, from level to level, We’re the pixel heroes on the retro-rebel. From 8-bit to 16, from block to polygon, Our story’s never over, we’re still carrying on! We’re still carrying on! We’re still carrying on! Bridge PlayStation dropped, Lara Croft hit the floor, Final Fantasy, RPGs, we wanted more. Metal Gear, Silent Hill, horror gets real, With graphics improving, the worlds we’d reveal. Verse 3 Then Xbox came in, Halo’s warcry, Nintendo 64 – Mario’s still fly. PC gaming rose, Half-Life, the code, Counter-Strike battles, the next-gen mode. Chorus From pixel to pixel, from level to level, We’re the pixel heroes on the retro-rebel. From 8-bit to 16, from block to polygon, Our story’s never over, we’re still carrying on! Outro Now it’s VR and 4K – graphics insane, But those old-school consoles are where we remain. Pixel heroes forever, we’re here to stay, Our love for the classics won’t fade away. We’re still carrying on! We’re still carrying on! Now it’s VR and 4K – graphics insane, But those old-school consoles are where we remain. Pixel heroes forever, we’re here to stay, Our love for the classics won’t fade away.
