Knight in Red Overalls

Gathers coins like scattered stars, each life a chance to dare His boots stomp down, the Goombas' crown is crushed beneath his care An odyssey of fire and shell, each level's deadly tune A plumber's heart, with kart and part, beneath the crescent moon Mushrooms grant the strength of giants, flowers spit the flame His princess calls through castle walls, he'll never quit this game Plunged in depths where shadows vie To rescue love from villain's lie Against the fire, through fortress high Champion in red, his heart won't deny Now diving through the darkest fight Power-ups fuel his inner light In the maze of castles vast Thwarting Koopas as he blasts Flames of justice burn so bright Questing 'til she’s in his sight And with a star, he claims the sky Bravest plumber, soaring high Battle cries through pipes, and time starts to freeze Fate is laid out in these cold dungeon keys Under the storm, he faces the might Red-hatted hero with power to smite Now with a leap, he dodges and strikes Brick by brick, he climbs, facing the plights Castle gates thunder with pounding fears Clenching his fist, the end draws near Through fireballs, their dance, a deadly waltz Defying death with each fierce assault [Pre-Chorus] With every step, danger grows Through secret pipes where the mushroom flows Brave Mario, with hammer's might Forged in stars and endless night Charging onward, barrels 'round His courage echoes, pound for pound [Chorus] He'll save the Princess from her plight With Koopa's fire on the castle spiked [Verse 3] In Bowser's lair, the confrontations rise Chains rattle as the beasts greet their demise Dark halls echo with Peach's faintest plea Mario treks on, fierce as the sea [Pre-Chorus] Fearless in the pit, where lava glows Dodging every trap and deadly throws Bridge burns bright, he takes the leap of faith The final clash, Bowser's end awaits [Chorus] In the heart of fire, the hero stands His princess waits, with outstretched hands Mario claims his love's embrace As darkness fades, they've won the race
