[Intro]
[Blackbeard's Evil Pirate Laugh] Zeh-hah-hah-hah-hah!!
You hear that thunder roll? Yeah, that’s me comin’ in slow.
A storm in the shape of a man — fate said “no,”
So I broke fate’s jaw, let the whole world know…
The dark tide rises, and I’m runnin’ the show.
---
[Verse 1]
Came up from the deck with a hunger so vicious,
A nobody pirate with impossible wishes.
Waited in the shadows while the big names slept,
’Til the moment was ripe — then I cut, then I crept.
Thatch fell first, that’s the price of my will,
One fruit in my hand, whole seas to kill.
Ace came swingin’, brave, bold, proud —
But even fire dies when darkness shouts loud.
Dragged him to justice? Nah, dragged him for gain.
Traded brother for power, for title, for fame.
The world shook twice when his father dropped —
I stole his quake thunder, and the whole globe stopped.
Now I’m walkin’ with the void swirling under my skin,
A black hole heartbeat, a vortex of sin.
You pray for the sun — I bring night instead,
Turn oceans to coffins, paint the horizon red.
---
[Hook]
I’m the dark tide, the nightmare the seas couldn’t drown,
Venom in my blood and my eyes on the crown.
Legends fall silent while the cowards all flee —
The world fears the name Teech, and they should fear me.
---
[Verse 2]
Split the sky open — crack the whole globe,
I wear chaos proudly, stitched into my coat.
My crew? Monsters. Demons. The worst of the worst.
But to rule this era, you gotta hunger and hurt.
Impel Down tried to kill me, poison in my veins,
Crawled out laughin’, stronger through the pain.
Freed the damned, built a fleet outta nightmares,
Now every sea shakes when my Jolly Roger stares.
I ain't Roger, ain’t Whitebeard, ain’t destined or holy —
I take what I want, and I take it slowly.
Your heroes chase dreams — I swallow ‘em whole,
Consume every rival, every treasure, every soul.
---
[Bridge]
When the sea starts screamin’ and the heavens split,
Know it’s not prophecy — it’s me doin’ it.
You pray for tomorrow… but there’s one small surprise:
The new age is mine when the dark tide rise.
---
[Hook — Final]
I’m the dark tide, the terror the world couldn’t flee,
Whispers turn to wails when they speak of me.
No dream too mighty, no legend too wise —
The crown’s in my grasp…
and the Dark Tide Rises.
