Lyrics

[Intro - Distant thunder, gentle rainfall, soft ambient guitars building slowly]

[Ethereal whisper, carried on the wind]

When the downpour comes... the forest floods...

And from the depths... the king emerges.

Uth Duna... apex of the Scarlet Forest...

---

[Verse 1 - Slow build, atmospheric swells, post-rock dynamics]

I rule the Scarlet Forest when the monsoon reigns

The Downpour is my kingdom, the deluge in my veins

They call me Apex Predator, the largest you will see

Before the credits roll—that's just the start of me

My gills breathe deep beneath the loch where Gastronome Tuna swim

I surface when the waters rise, the storm becomes my hymn

Mizutsune shares my waterways but knows its place is second

Arkveld challenges my throne—the only rival reckoned

---

[Pre-Chorus - Drums enter, building tension]

WATERS... RISE!

VEIL... FORMS!

HUNTERS... DROWN!

UTH DUNA! CRESTED TORRENT! BRAVE THE STORM!

---

[Chorus - Explosive, crescendo, walls of guitar]

UTH DUNA! CRESTED TORRENT OF THE FOREST!

UTH DUNA! APEX PREDATOR, THE LARGEST!

UTH DUNA! VEIL OF WATER ABSORBS YOUR BLOWS!

UTH DUNA! WATCH THE TIDAL WAVE RISE AND FLOW!

---

[Verse 2 - More intense, driving rhythm]

My veil is made of mucus mixed with water from the rain

Each cilia holds it tight—you'll hit and hit in vain

Damage turns to blue, my defense absorbs the fight

Break through and I get faster—now you'll know true fright

I leap and spin in slow-motion, defying gravity's law

Crash down with force that sweeps away the hunters that I saw

My belly flop creates a wave that knocks you off your feet

Waterblight drains your stamina—retreat's your only feat

---

[Pre-Chorus 2]

VEIL... BREAKS!

AGILITY... WAKES!

HUNTERS... QUAKES!

UTH DUNA! CRESTED TORRENT! EARTHQUAKES!

---

[Chorus]

UTH DUNA! CRESTED TORRENT OF THE FOREST!

UTH DUNA! APEX PREDATOR, THE LARGEST!

UTH DUNA! VEIL OF WATER ABSORBS YOUR BLOWS!

UTH DUNA! WATCH THE TIDAL WAVE RISE AND FLOW!

---

[Bridge - Slows to atmospheric, spoken word]

[Whispered over clean guitars]

When my veil regenerates... I spin and roar...

The water explodes outward... hunters scatter...

[Long pause]

...but the tide always returns.

[Band swells]

ALWAYS.

---

[Guitar Solo - Post-rock, emotional, building to crescendo]

---

[Breakdown - Heavy, crushing]

HEAD WEAK TO THUNDER! (STRIKE!)

FORELEGS BREAK IN TWO! (HIKE!)

TAIL CAN BE SEVERED! (MIKE!)

UTH DUNA TITLES—FORTY HUNTS AND YOU'LL LIKE!

HEAVYWEIGHT! RAIMENT! VEIL! UTH DUNA!

EACH NAME A TESTAMENT—I'M THE MONSOON LUNA!

---

[Final Chorus - Massive, triumphant, key change]

UTH DUNA! (UTH DUNA!)

CRESTED TORRENT OF THE FOREST! (OF THE FOREST!)

UTH DUNA! (UTH DUNA!)

APEX PREDATOR, THE LARGEST! (THE LARGEST!)

UTH DUNA! (UTH DUNA!)

VEIL OF WATER ABSORBS YOUR BLOWS! (YOUR BLOWS!)

UTH DUNA! (UTH DUNA!)

WATCH THE TIDAL WAVE—

---

[Outro - Fades gradually to gentle rain]

[Whispered, fading]

...rise.

[Rain softens]

The Downpour ends...

[Drizzle fades]

...but I remain...

[Silence]

...waiting in the deep.
