This song is a dedication to the coolest game and the first and the only true eSports discipline in the world - Quake3 / Quake Live.
Quake III was released in 1999. In the same year as the movie The Matrix. These two masterpieces of art somehow together influenced my sense of cyberpunk and my perception of science fiction. From 2000 to 2004, playing Q3 over a local network was one of my favorite pastimes. Coincidentally, the computer club where we played Quake 3 was called Morpheus) Well, and crushing the bots at home on Nightmare level - where would we be without that)
Now I’m gaming via Internet into a rethought version of the third Quake - Quake Live, conveniently working through Steam.
Quake3 / QuakeLive is, without a doubt, the standard of all time online shooters. Q became the very first eSports competition broadcast on TV. And in general, QIII is the most dynamic and colorful FPS shooter. And the id Tech3 engine was a real technological breakthrough.
Lyrics
Enter the Hell’s Gate
Into the Forgotten place
Core of the Apocalypse Void
The Edge of time and space
Humans and cyborgs
Aliens and dead
Rush through the Campgrounds
In vicious combat
Cybervalhalla!
Only a true warrior
Is a Quad Damage carrier
Nine blazing guns
Switch to the perfect one
Use Fatal Instinct
Aim in the toxic haze
Eternal Arena
Forgives no mistakes
Get Retribution
Capture the enemy’s flag
Vengeance Vertical served
Tastes with the last second frag
Cybervalhalla!
Only a true warrior
Is a Quad Damage carrier
Foes won’t escape
Hunt them and slay the prey
Prowl through the Furious Heights
Of Crossings and Keeps
Fly the Longest of Yards
Over the lifeless abyss
Start heavy Bloodrun
In the Lost World of Pain
Shake the Grim Dungeons
In The House of Decay
Cybervalhalla!
Only a true warrior
Is a Quad Damage carrier
Join the endless fight
Kill, die, and then revive
Weapons:
BFG 10K, Gauntlet, Grenade, Launcher, Lightning Gun, Machine Gun, Plasma Gun, Railgun, Rocket Launcher, Shotgun
