The Branded Swordsman's Berserker Rage
[Intro] [The song begins with an onslaught of blast-beat drums and a brutally fast, down-tuned death metal guitar riff. The stage is a hellish landscape under a blood-red eclipse. Guts stands on a mountain of slain demons, his Dragonslayer sword resting on his shoulder.] [Verse 1] [Guts (The Black Swordsman) - his vocals are a deep, guttural, death metal growl] BORN OF DARKNESS, BRED IN PAIN! WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE FREEZING RAIN! THIS BRAND OF SACRIFICE, IT BURNS MY SOUL! TO LOSE MY MIND AND LOSE CONTROL! THE GOD HAND LAUGHS FROM HIGH ABOVE! THEY TOOK MY COMRADES, TOOK MY LOVE! BUT IN THE DARKNESS, I REMAIN! THE ENDLESS, ALL-CONSUMING PAIN! [Verse 2] [The music gets faster and more chaotic. Guts leaps into battle against a horde of enemies.] [Guts] A TITAN'S GRIP, A HOLLOW'S SCREAM! A GHOUL FROM TOKYO, A CURSED DREAM! I SEE YOUR SHARINGAN'S RED GLEAM! I'LL TEAR YOUR WORLD APART AT THE SEAM! FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE ABYSS THEY CRAWL! I AM THE ONE WHO'LL KILL THEM ALL! A DEVILMAN WITH WINGS OF BLACK! THERE IS NO HOPE, NO TURNING BACK! [Chorus] [The song hits a powerful, anthemic groove. Guts's vocals are at their most brutal.] [Guts and a Choir of Damned Souls] THIS IS MY RAGE, MY ENDLESS FIGHT! THE BLACK SWORDSMAN IN THE ENDLESS NIGHT! I AM THE STRUGGLE, I AM THE SCAR! BENEATH A DEAD AND FALLEN STAR! I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN, I'LL MAKE YOU BLEED! UPON YOUR BROKEN, WORTHLESS CREED! I AM THE DOOM THAT YOU HAVE MADE! WITH MY UNHOLY, IRON BLADE! [Bridge 1] [The music shifts to a more technical, almost futuristic death metal style with synth undertones.] [Guts] The Angels fall on Neo-Kyoto's spires... A whisper screams through burning fires... "GET IN THE DAMN ROBOT!" a coward cries While a GHOST is weeping in the wires! I see the madness of AKIRA's light! The final, all-consuming night! This isn't war, it's just a game! And GANTZ is its unholy name! [Breakdown] [The music slams into an ultra-heavy, slow, and crushing breakdown. The guitars are chugging, and the vocals are a deep, guttural roar.] [Guts] Your power level... is just a joke... Your feeble STAND... is already broke... You think you're safe, you think you'll win? You don't know the hell I'm in... (He points his sword at a terrified demon) OMAE WA... MU... SHINDERU. (You are already dead.) [Guitar Solo] [A blistering, chaotic, and incredibly fast guitar solo erupts, full of dive bombs, sweep picking, and pure metal fury.] [Final Chorus] [The chorus returns with maximum speed and brutality.] [Guts and a Choir of Damned Souls] THIS IS MY RAGE, MY ENDLESS FIGHT! THE BLACK SWORDSMAN IN THE ENDLESS NIGHT! I AM THE STRUGGLE, I AM THE SCAR! BENEATH A DEAD AND FALLEN STAR! I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN, I'LL MAKE YOU BLEED! UPON YOUR BROKEN, WORTHLESS CREED! I AM THE DOOM THAT YOU HAVE MADE! WITH MY UNHOLY, IRON BLADE! [Outro] [The music grinds to a halt, leaving only the sound of a final, chugging guitar riff that slowly fades out. Guts's voice is a final, weary growl.] [Guts] The struggle... never ends... (The sound of the massive Dragonslayer sword cleaving through flesh and bone, followed by a wet, heavy thud.) [Silence.] [End]
