Do you like bowling? Do you like wii bowling? Now we have something that's like bowling but it isn't It's like the real thing but without the rental shoes It will make you have fun and give you tennis elbow You will hurt like hell but you won't mind the pain This isn't wii boxing wii baseball wii basketball This is wii bowling You can argue about their similarities It's not the same to me This isn't wii tennis wii ping pong wii golf This is wii bowling There's nothing better than rolling balls down a lane While playing with your wii Now it's your turn to make a bowler of yourself Take your likeness out and send it down the lane And when you're finished you have to wait your turn And when you do then it starts all over again You're up Now you know what it's all about So it's your turn to wield the 'mote GO

Orb of Doom 04:23
This coliseum is filled with warriors like ourselves This lighted alleyway reveals our bitter enemies This orb of doom I wield is black like my soul And I will take them all down The orb of doom will show us the way To victory and horn destruction And even if we don't win the first time The orb gives us another shot And I will take them all down These devil horns, they put up a valiant fight This evil tries but can't stand up against what's right This orb of doom I wield is mighty like the wooly mammoth And I will take them all down Orb of doom Lead the charge Fire away Destroy the horns
3.
Here we stand as a whole Devil horns - ten of us We are small by ourselves But together we are strong We may not seem too smart To oppose orbs of doom But we stand anyway And we won't take this lying down Ten devil horns standing as one Against your dumb and treacherous orbs Ten devil horns, we stand here as a whole And we've got the demons on our side We may seem passive-aggressive 'Cause we can't fight too well But there are other ways to harm you Check your shoes - what's that smell (The Fungus Demon!)
4.
I've got a splitting headache And that's not fun I tried to strike the devil horns But some of them won None shall be spared They'll have a splitting headache When this is done And my orb of doom will blast them To kingdom come Pick it up Take them down Crush them all Clean the mess This battle will be hard to win You know you could just count your losses It's ok to take the easy route You'll live to fight another day another day None shall be spared
5.
TenSeven 03:34
You may think you'll be ok but you must know this one thing Evil lurks around this parlor of destruction Its legend grows by every hour someone messes up And then it rears its ugly ugly head Beware the demon lurking here TenSeven sleeps but smells your fear He is always here no matter what you think And he's always up to dastardly old tricks He'll keep your orb for way too long or until you soil yourself And he'll fill some horns full of lead and they'll never fall Beware the demon lurking here TenSeven sleeps but smells your fear Now your safety slips away Hiding under the battlefield TenSeven waits to attack When he finds the most critical time He acts on his hellish plan LOOK OUT The demon awakens You're really up the creek now The demon awakens Your orb is useless now The demon awakens You can hear him laughing now The demon awakens Your orb is useless now
6.
The Soldiers 06:34
Locked in combat once again We have done this much before I have slaughtered them so far But they still come back for more Their horns outnumber my orb But I have physics on my side They are standing still As I unleash my first assault As the aftermath presents itself Only two of us remain Death surrounded us but somehow we survived So we have to carry on carry on We are the two remaining soldiers Standing single file in line If you want to win this battle we have waged You must get past one to get to the other I hate soldiers - they're a pain in my side It's like one is hiding - trying to elude its fate When my orb returns, it's time for them to die Pray for us all - the ones who are still fighting We are the only hope that's left Casualties racking up - things sure look bleak right now But if one stays alive then our job is done And now it's time for battle It's reloaded and ready to fight The orb has hit the first one But curved too much to finish the job The conflict is now finished Only one horn has been spared The front line man has fallen But the back line soldier soldiers on Sing a song for the fallen soldier
7.
I have to make this shot I must not lose this game so bad The strap is there for a reason I don't trust you with that thing You've broken three lamps already I can't take this anymore I know I can be trusted I never meant to break your lamp go It's my turn - time to go I will not throw the 'mote But the 'mote - where'd it go? What is that in the wall? Noooooooo
8.
It's a special battlefield A place that grows and grows I only get one chance To knock all the devil horns down There are no trenches here And I can take them all down But they always come back for more And something else is in store Each time they return they add another line The devil horn army grows larger every time Soon it's impossible for total victory But when they reach their peak I use my secret weapon The horn up front is decorated differently Makes me wonder if mutiny is on their side Or perhaps he is the biggest doofus on their camp Either way I just don't care so he's the first to go One orb will crush them all One orb will seal their doom One orb will make them fall One orb will be my broom This is a special battlefield A place that grows and grows I only get one shot But I will knock all the devil horns down
9.
It seems forever since we started this and my elbow hurts and my shoulder is getting tired So I think it's time we stopped for a while I've lost all sense of time I haven't seen the sun all day and it's too hot in here Well I think it's time we went outside
10.
We're closing in on the end of this competition I may be down but I'm not too far behind Unfinished business It all comes down to this last extended battle Where I must prove myself to be the better wielder There's a time for thought and there's a time for action And now I think it's time to act It starts now Let's go It's time to prove my worth And I'm not just full of crap I must prevail again Those horns are going down With this extended fight I can take more horns out And that's just what I do Then have to wait for you You fare worse than I Your battle is cut short But I hear the laughing horns They tell me you still won No Not again I destroyed the devil horns But cannot destroy you Hey allright - that was a close one again That one had me really nervous the whole time Now I'm thirsty so let's grab a beer or two And when we get our senses back do you wanna play again

about

When Dethklok and the Wii collide, things like this happen. But let's face it - what's more metal than throwing a heavy thing down an alley for the sole purpose of knocking a bunch of stuff over?
