Drill-X's Song

First Verse

It's the end of the track, Skylander!
This drill-bot is on the scene!
I'll knock you forward and back
with a robo attack
'cause you're messing with the wrong machine!

Second Verse

You don't stand a chance, Skylander!
Even though you won that round...
'Cause my power won't drop
And my driller won't stop
'til the City of Arkus is found!

Third Verse

Hold on, time out, Skylander!
There's something up with my drill.
But you better watch out,
You'll be down for the count
When I show you my smashing skills!

Fourth Verse

What did you do, Skylander?!
You've just won the final round!
I can't keep the beat
I'm feeling defeat,
And my systems are all shutting down...
