[Intro - Heavy, fuzzy bass. Slow, crushing drums. Sound of sand shifting and distant thunder.]
(Deep, guttural whisper)
They called Akantor the Black God... Ukanlos the White God...
But in the desert... where the sand swallows all...
There is a Third God... painted red.
Odibatorasu... the Crimson Apex... rises from the dunes.
[Verse 1 - Sludgy, slow, monolithic riffs]
I am the third god, the forgotten brother
Red as the blood of the prey I smother
They built me in Frontier where the strong survive
HR100 just to see me alive
My shell is crimson with cream-coloured tips
A cannon on my back where destruction sits
Akantor digs, Ukanlos swims through ice
I manipulate sand—that's my device
[Pre-Chorus - Building weight]
SAND... (FLOWS!)
DUNES... (ROSE!)
HUNTERS... (KNOWS!)
ODIBATORASU! THE RED GOD ROSE!
[Chorus - Crushing, sludgy, heavy as sand]
ODIBATORASU! THIRD GOD OF THE DESERT PLAINS!
ODIBATORASU! CRIMSON SHELL ABSORBS YOUR PAINS!
ODIBATORASU! CANNON BACK LAUNCHES SAND AND STONE!
ODIBATORASU! FACING ME—YOU STAND ALONE!
[Verse 2 - Still slow, with menace]
My roar creates explosions, sand bursts from the ground
With power far above my rank—you hear it, you are found
I prey on Akura Vashimu, my favourite meal to take
Crystal scorpion thinks it's tough—I crush it for goodness sake
Genprey stampede when I walk, Apceros flee in fear
Diablos and Monoblos know my name and disappear
Kuarusepusu? Tigrex? They avoid my territory
Even Rukodiora yields—I'm the apex predator story
[Pre-Chorus 2]
CANNON... (FIRE!)
SAND... (PYRE!)
HUNTERS... (EXPIRE!)
ODIBATORASU! THE RED GOD'S IRRE!
[Chorus]
ODIBATORASU! THIRD GOD OF THE DESERT PLAINS!
ODIBATORASU! CRIMSON SHELL ABSORBS YOUR PAINS!
ODIBATORASU! CANNON BACK LAUNCHES SAND AND STONE!
ODIBATORASU! FACING ME—YOU STAND ALONE!
[Bridge - Slows to a crawl, spoken]
(Whispered)
HC variant... orange tips on my spines...
Horns grow longer... my rage refines...
Supremacy form... the ultimate test...
(Long pause)
...and you thought Akantor was the best.
[Guitar Solo - Stoner metal, slow and mean, feedback-laden]
[Verse 3 - Faster, but still heavy]
THEY VOTED ME 28TH IN THE FRONTIER POLL
A FORGOTTEN GOD WITH A SAND-CONTROL SOUL
MY TAIL SWEEP SPREADS SAND ACROSS THE ZONE
AKANTOR AND UKANLOS COULD NEVER ATONE
FOR HAVING NO CANNON, NO SAND-BLASTING CORE
I'LL FIRE PROJECTILES TILL YOU'RE NO MORE
I ENVELOP MYSELF IN A DUNE TO REST
DISTURB MY SLUMBER—NOW YOU'RE PUT TO THE TEST
[Pre-Chorus 3]
RAGE... (ENTER!)
SAND... (CENTER!)
HUNTERS... (VENTURE!)
ODIBATORASU! DEATH'S NEW VENDOR!
[Final Chorus - Maximum weight]
ODIBATORASU! (ODIBATORASU!)
THIRD GOD OF THE DESERT PLAINS! (DESERT PLAINS!)
ODIBATORASU! (ODIBATORASU!)
CRIMSON SHELL ABSORBS YOUR PAINS! (ABSORBS YOUR PAINS!)
ODIBATORASU! (ODIBATORASU!)
CANNON BACK LAUNCHES SAND AND STONE! (SAND AND STONE!)
ODIBATORASU! (ODIBATORASU!)
FACING ME—
[Outro - Fading to silence, sand shifting]
...you stand alone
The Black god … the White god
… and the Red god forgotten
