Pirating in space never seems to go quite as planned
Especially if you're against the Legend Samus Aran,
Chosen by those Chozo bozos, their power suit she's clad,
Taking a toll on our profits, oh how she will be damned

But as I understand it, Ridley's got me on lock,
Hunting a brand new crop, Metroids fresh! Well in stock!
Deploying sensors, sector's rekt, treasure soon awaits,
At a place we designate: S-R-Three-Eighty-Eight


CHORUS
Pirating the stars, I'm looking for the perfect con,
Bioweapons on, pirates hailing a new dawn,
Energy we seek from a parasitical spawn
I will find

Danger lurking everywhere, caverns full of terror
Creatures take control, there's never room for error
Rush of glory, Ridley praise me forever
I will find


Landed on the planet, dammit, ship busted, I gotta hoof it,
First on these rocks, I am shocked, but now I gotta go and prove it,
Before the Feds get an inkling why I'm here
A sinking feeling leers, gulp it down, beacon's drawing nears

Acid blocking routes of this ancient colony,
Ruins mystifying, perplexing society
Earthquaking almost make me miss what I've come to face
A Metroid herd floating on, I know I must make haste

Take the road most travelled, but where have they all gone?
Cargo slipping away with the last light of the sun
Activate night vision, all I see are piles of bones,
Shocking, creeping, realizing: I am not alone!

Drones fire ablaze, dive to the rocks to keep at bay
Rocks chipping away, recharge my shield in dismay
I thought it would be easy, a simple recovery,
But for Ridley I'd go to hell, a battlecry I will sing!


CHORUS REPEATS

Standing in front of the Chozo shrine door
Breathing heavily, scattered drones on the floor
Open up, see the metroids waiting all for me
Grin victoriously, time to begin the capturing!

Traps unlatch, metroids react, too fast for me but I relax
Machines take care of them for me, Space Pirates are back on track
Euphoric Ecstacy, their cries soothing me softly
Mision Complete, but maybe they're not calling to me?

Turn around to see the rest of their Pack
Different stages never seen, I gasp, on stance attack
Take a step back, drop my things, try to flee the scene
But blocking the entrance: the giant Metroid Queen!

Her fangs grip my skin, I cringe, incisions sucking deep within
My core being wiped dry, life force now becoming dim
Can barely even scream, I feel a dream, my eyes are so heavy,
And as I disappear and I hear is me saying "I'm sorry, Ridley."


Pirating the stars never made me feel so far gone,
Bioweapons on, but now I am noone,
Energy we sought from a parasitical spawn
What you'll find

Never try to land on SR388,
Your disregard will doom you, it will be all too late
Noone should even attempt this vile fate
What you'll find
