[Cinematic Intro — whispered] Hear that? That's not rain... That's him breathing. ...First Form. [Verse 1] Yellow haori, lightning stitched in the seams, Scared of every demon but I'm deadly in my dreams. Yeah, I cry, yeah, I panic, yeah, I swear I'm gonna die— Then my eyes shut... Now watch the lightning fly. Thunder Breathing, First Form—feet set, One draw, one flash, you ain't seen me yet. Blade leave the sheath and the head leave next, By the time you hear the thunder, I'm collecting that check. Thunderclap and Flash! Sixfold—six strikes, no pause, Turn the battlefield electric when I'm breaking the laws. Eightfold—eight flashes cutting holes through the dark, Every step leave a trail like a lightning-bolt scar. Funny how the coward turn cold when he sleeps, You hunting humans? I'm hunting demons in my dreams. Don't mistake all the screaming for somebody that's weak— Fear taught me exactly how a heartbeat should speak. [Pre-Hook] Hear everything. Heartbeat... Footsteps... Breathing... I can hear your fear before you even see me. Then— [HOOK] THUNDERCLAP—FLASH! Gone before the sound hit. Lightning through the battlefield, Whole damn ground split. THUNDERCLAP—FLASH! One breath, one slash. You can run from the boy— Can't outrun the flash. Yellow in the darkness, Gold across the sky. Scared like I'm human— Strike like I'm divine. Close my eyes... Hear the thunder. Open yours... Somebody died. [Verse 2] Little sparrow on my shoulder, still chirping like, "Bro..." Everybody got a crow—I got Chuntaro though. Tanjiro know the deal, Inosuke talk loud, I'm somewhere yelling "NEZUKO!" while they're fighting through a crowd. Yeah, I'm down horrendous—put the truth in the track, See a pretty girl once, already planning the match. But threaten somebody innocent? Personality switch— That goofy little coward gets dangerous quick. Jigoro trained my legs till they damn near broke, Couldn't master every form, so I mastered one stroke. If perfection is repetition, then remember my name— I sharpened one technique till the lightning became me. First Form refined till the movement looked divine, Put everything I had into a fraction of time. No wasted motion, no flex, no speech— Just breathe... Plant... Release. Godlike Speed—now the whole frame skip, Muscles screaming but I'm still on some "finish this" shit. Can't spam that power without paying the price, But when somebody I love needs me? I'll pay it twice. [Beat Switch — darker / cinematic] But there's something they forgot... The boy who only learned one form... Made his own. [Verse 3] Seventh Form. Something Grandpa never taught. Something born from every lesson and every battle that I fought. Honoikazuchi no Kami. Thunder dragon when I draw, Lightning god behind the blade— Watch it tear across the floor. Kaigaku— You chose power. I chose pain and turned it skill. We both learned beneath Jigoro, Only one remembered his will. You looked down because I only had the First inside my hands, So I built the Seventh myself— Hope you finally understand. I ain't fighting for applause. I ain't swinging out of pride. I'm carrying the old man's teachings every time that blade collide. From the kid who couldn't breathe without believing he would die... To the thunder breathing swordsman putting lightning in the sky. [FINAL HOOK — huge choir + 808s] ⚡ THUNDERCLAP—FLASH! ⚡ Gone before the sound hit. Lightning through the battlefield, Whole damn ground split. THUNDERCLAP—FLASH! One breath, one slash. Demon saw yellow— Then everything went black. Fear inside my heartbeat, Thunder in my stride. You don't need to fear nothing just to stand up there and fight. So close my eyes... Grip the blade... Let the whole world wonder— You don't see the lightning... 'til you hear the thunder. [Outro] rumbling thunder First Form... Thunderclap... and... FLASH.
