[Intro — Distorted Radio Transmission, Deep Male Whisper] Static crackles... Kanto's sleeping... But the underground never rests. From the shadows of Celadon... To the towers of Saffron... One symbol rules them all. R... Team Rocket... The world belongs to those who take it. Heavy bass drops. [Verse 1 — Dark, Aggressive Vocals] Underneath the city where the neon lights bleed, There's a criminal empire built on power and greed. Black boots marching, crimson letters on our chest, Stealing every Pokémon, only keeping the best. Through the caves of Mt. Moon, hear the footsteps creep, Selling stolen fossils while the innocent sleep. At the Celadon tables, let the roulette spin, There's a fortress underneath where the real games begin. Secret switches, hidden floors, elevators descend, Every grunt in formation with a mission to defend. And the man in the shadows, with a Persian by his throne, Giovanni rules the darkness from his underground home! [Pre-Chorus — Rising Tension, Industrial Drums] Hear the footsteps coming closer, Feel the city losing light. Every badge and every battle, Feeds the empire through the night! No mercy, no surrender, Let the whole world know our name! Carve that letter into history, Set the underground aflame! [Chorus — Explosive, Heavy Anthem] RAISE THE R! LET THE DARKNESS RISE! CRIMSON ROCKETS CUT ACROSS THE SKIES! TAKE THE POWER! SEIZE CONTROL! WE'LL OWN KANTO, HEART AND SOUL! TEAM ROCKET! HEAR THE THUNDER ROAR! BREAK THE LOCKS AND KICK DOWN EVERY DOOR! FROM THE SHADOWS TO THE STARS, THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD WILL BE OURS! R! R! CRIMSON R! BUILD OUR EMPIRE NEAR AND FAR! R! R! CRIMSON R! TEAM ROCKET'S GOING TO WAR! [Verse 2 — Sinister, Rhythmic Delivery] Lavender's haunted, there's a tower full of ghosts, And our soldiers guard the secrets that the darkness holds. Silph Scope in our possession, keeping truth beyond their sight, Till a kid in a red cap comes to challenge us tonight. Saffron City's fallen, Silph Company's our prize, Taking over every floor beneath the corporate lights. Master Ball technology, the ultimate design, Giovanni wants the future, every creature, every kind! But the elevators open and the guards begin to fall, One young trainer keeps on fighting through the corporate halls. Then the final confrontation at the Viridian Gym, Earth begins to tremble as the lights are growing dim! [Pre-Chorus — Dark Choir, Building Intensity] Hear the footsteps coming closer, Now the empire starts to shake. Every throne built upon terror, Has a kingdom it can break. But the boss stands undefeated, Till the final battle's done. Let the ground beneath us shatter, We will never turn and run! [Chorus — Explosive, Heavy Anthem] RAISE THE R! LET THE DARKNESS RISE! CRIMSON ROCKETS CUT ACROSS THE SKIES! TAKE THE POWER! SEIZE CONTROL! WE'LL OWN KANTO, HEART AND SOUL! TEAM ROCKET! HEAR THE THUNDER ROAR! BREAK THE LOCKS AND KICK DOWN EVERY DOOR! FROM THE SHADOWS TO THE STARS, THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD WILL BE OURS! R! R! CRIMSON R! BUILD OUR EMPIRE NEAR AND FAR! R! R! CRIMSON R! TEAM ROCKET'S GOING TO WAR! [Bridge — Slow, Menacing, Cinematic] Music fades to a heartbeat and distant piano. An empire built on fear... A kingdom built on lies... One trainer stands before the throne... And watches power die. The earth cracks open... The final battle ends... Giovanni leaves his kingdom... And disappears again. Whispered vocals: You can scatter all our soldiers... You can tear our banners down... But a shadow never truly dies... It waits beneath the ground. [Final Chorus — Full Orchestra, Industrial Metal] RAISE THE R! ONE FINAL TIME! LET OUR LEGACY OUTLIVE OUR CRIMES! THOUGH THE KING HAS LEFT HIS THRONE, THE CRIMSON MARK IS CARVED IN STONE! TEAM ROCKET! HEAR THE THUNDER ROAR! OUR FOOTSTEPS ECHO FOREVERMORE! FROM THE RUINS TO THE STARS, YOU'LL REMEMBER WHO WE ARE! R! R! CRIMSON R! THE FALLEN EMPIRE LEFT ITS SCARS! R! R! CRIMSON R! YOU CAN'T ERASE THE CRIMSON R! [Outro — Deep Whisper, Fading 8-Bit Synth] The hideout is empty... The Silph Tower is free... The Viridian throne stands abandoned... But somewhere... Deep beneath Kanto... Three slow electronic beeps. A red letter flickers...
