Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro - Eerie silence, then technical tapping in odd time signature. Sound of mucus crystallizing.] [Whispered, echoing] In the Ruins of Wyveria... where the Guardians fall... An assassin waits... with no eyes... but seeing all. Xu Wu... the void... the nothing... comes. --- [Verse 1 - Complex time signatures, technical riffing] My name means nothing—虚无, the void from which I strike No eyes to track, but other senses hunt you down tonight I slither through the crevices where Guardians retreat My boneless body squeezes through—you'll never find my seat The mucus from my tentacles hardens into golden blades I'll spear you like the prey you are, I'll cut you with my spades Four arms to move, two arms reduced to shield my hungry maw Eight total appendages—count the limbs and feel the awe [Pre-Chorus - Building tension in 7/8] BLADES... (FORM!) GOLD... (WARM!) HUNTERS... (SWARM!) XU WU! PIERCING ASSASSIN! BREAK THE NORM! [Chorus - Progressive, technical, shifting time signatures] XU WU! PIERCING ASSASSIN OF THE VOID! XU WU! EVERY GUARDIAN DESTROYED! XU WU! FOUR ARMS SLASH, FOUR ARMS SHIELD! XU WU! ON THE RUINS BATTLEFIELD! [Verse 2 - Technical, relentless] My weapons bear the names of killers from your history Brutus, Booth, Jing Ke, and more—they mean NOTHING next to me Nihil Hammer, Nihil Blade—the void is what I bring When Xu Wu rises from the cracks, you'll hear the death bells ring My mouth is not the smile you see—that's just my torso plate My REAL jaws hide beneath my form, designed to seal your fate I'll flip myself, expose the teeth, and spin at sonic speed One bite from Xu Wu's maw is all a hunter's life will need [Pre-Chorus 2] MOUTH... (EXPOSED!) TEETH... (CLOSED!) HUNTERS... (DOPED!) XU WU! FINAL FORM DISCLOSED! [Chorus] XU WU! PIERCING ASSASSIN OF THE VOID! XU WU! EVERY GUARDIAN DESTROYED! XU WU! FOUR ARMS SLASH, FOUR ARMS SHIELD! XU WU! ON THE RUINS BATTLEFIELD! [Bridge - Slows down, atmospheric, spoken] [Whispered] They put me in the game as a surprise... No trailers... no teasers... Just a smile in the dark... [Long pause] [Beat drops] AND THEN I TOOK YOU. [Guitar Solo - Progressive metal, technical, sweeping] [Breakdown - Heavy, crushing] SEVER MY ARMS! (YOU CAN'T!) CUT MY TENTACLES! (YOU WON'T!) I'LL GROW THEM BACK IN SECONDS FLAT XU WU WON'T BE DETHRONED! [Final Chorus - Max complexity] XU WU! (XU WU!) PIERCING ASSASSIN OF THE VOID! (OF THE VOID!) XU WU! (XU WU!) EVERY GUARDIAN DESTROYED! (DESTROYED!) XU WU! (XU WU!) FOUR ARMS SLASH, FOUR ARMS SHIELD! (SLASH AND SHIELD!) XU WU! (XU WU!) ON THE RUINS— [Outro - Sudden stop. Single drip of mucus crystallizing.] [Whispered, fading] ...battlefield. [Pause] The void is patient. [Crack sound] It always waits.
