*[Intro – deep echoing void, a weary voice]* "Thirty-four years... wasted. If I get another chance... I'll live it seriously." *[Verse 1 – slow heavy rap over deep dark trance, 90 BPM]* NEET in my room for twenty years straight, Bullied, broken, sealed my own fate, Took a truck for some kids on the street, Woke up a baby — now the story's complete? Rudeus Greyrat, that's my new name, Paul's my father, Zenith's my flame, Memories intact from a life before, This time I'm kicking down every door! *[Chorus – deep echoing trance swell]* LIVE IT SERIOUSLY! (seriously!) Second life, gonna write my story! (story!) From a shut-in's grave to a legend's glory, Rudeus Greyrat — this is my oath, my story! LIVE IT SERIOUSLY! *[Verse 2 – childhood, beat warms]* Roxy Migurdia came to teach me spells, Blue hair, tiny — yeah, she taught me well, Roxy is God, let the whole world know, Water magic prodigy, watch me grow! Gil-laine's sword with the beastfolk grace, Sword King training, put me in my place, Sylphy in the woods with the emerald hair, Childhood friend beyond compare! Eris Boreas, red-haired noble flame, Tsundere terror, Gore... I mean, the name's Eris — insane! Taught her magic, taught her how to read, Never knew she'd become all I'd need! *[Verse 3 – the Teleport Incident, beat darkens]* Then the sky broke open, white light blind, The Metastasis scattered all mankind, Woke on the Demon Continent's shore, Eris beside me — nothing like before! Ruijerd Superdia with the emerald gem, "Dead End" party — it was us, it was them, Taught me honor, taught me the warrior's code, Carried us down that demon road! Kishirika's eye, the foresight gift, Demon Empress gave my fate a lift, Through Millis, through Shirone's snows, Every step, the legend grows! *[Chorus]* LIVE IT SERIOUSLY! (seriously!) Through the demon lands to victory! (victory!) Ruijerd's honor, Eris by my side, Rudeus Greyrat — nowhere left to hide! LIVE IT SERIOUSLY! *[Verse 4 – the long road, chill echoing trance]* Made it home but Eris slipped away, Left to train with Gil-laine one day, Five long years with a hole in my chest, Adventurer's life — I gave it my best! Eleen-uh-leese's curse and her endless thirst, Roxy's best friend, adventurer, versed, Met the gang, took quests for the gold, But the Man-God's whispers never got old! White void dreams with a mousy grin, Hitogami's schemes pulling me in, "Trust me," he says with his lying smile, But I've seen through him for a while! *[Breakdown – beat strips to echoing pads, spoken]* "The labyrinth took my father's life... Paul died fighting the Hydra's strife. I lost my hand... but I saved Roxy that day. Zenith came home broken — the price we pay." *[Verse 5 – Ranoa Academy, beat lifts]* Ranoa Academy, magic's grand hall, Ariel's schemes gonna take the fall... or take the crown, Luke by her side, the princess's game, Then I saw Fitz — and nothing was the same! Pulled off the mask — Sylphy, alive! My childhood friend, we would survive, Married in secret, my first wife true, Green hair glowing in the morning dew! Zanoba the blessed with his doll obsession, My student, my friend, no question, Cliff's the pope with a scholar's heart, Nanahoshi's from my world — we're worlds apart! She just wants home, I understand, Another soul from Japan's land, I'll help her find her way back through, 'Cause I know what it's like to start anew! *[Verse 6 – Orsted and the final war, beat turns massive]* Orsted the Dragon God crossed my path, Second of the Seven, feel his wrath, Killed me once with a casual hand, Then saw my worth and gave me a stand! Bracelet on my wrist, his cursed might, Now we fight the Man-God's endless night, Geese the apostle with his traitor's grin, The final war is gonna begin! Atofe's demons joined the fray, Perughius watched from far away, Laplace is coming in eighty years' time, But my children's children will finish that climb! Eris returned, my lioness queen, Red hair wild, the strongest I've seen, Three wives, one home, a family true, Everything I dreamed of coming through! *[Bridge – half-time, ethereal, the long goodbye]* Seventy-four years when I closed my eyes, Surrounded by love, no more goodbyes, Eris went first... I followed her song, The Man-God waited, but he waited long! "Your descendants will end what you began, Laplace will fall by a Greyrat's hand..." *[Final Chorus – biggest, key change, euphoric]* LIVED IT SERIOUSLY! (seriously!) From a wasted life to a legend's glory! (glory!) Three wives, a nation, children of flame, The whole damn world remembers my name! LIVED IT SERIOUSLY! (seriously!) Roxy, Sylphy, Eris — my eternity! (eternity!) From a shut-in's grave to the history page — Rudeus Greyrat, the mage of the age! LIVED IT SERIOUSLY! *[Outro – fading echoes]* "I don't regret a single day... this time, I lived."
