[Intro - Distant underwater rumbling, sonar pings, then EXPLOSIVE GUITARS]
[Deep, guttural, echoing]
Before Port Tanzia... before the Guild... before fire...
There was only the Black Flame...
And the sea... boiled.
[Verse 1 - Blast beats, downtuned chaos]
Tainted Sea runs red with blood, the hunters came in waves
Thousands fell before me, now they fill forgotten graves
Port Tanzia was founded by the few who crawled away
I've slept beneath the waters, but I'm AWAKE AGAIN TODAY
My heart beats even after death—tear it out, it still keeps time
Immortal dragon, endless rage, this body is a crime
Magma courses through my veins, my wings are cannons, LOAD AND READY
Every fireball a meteor, my aim is STEADY
[Pre-Chorus - Building dread]
BOIL! (THE SEA!)
BURN! (THE SKY!)
CRUSH! (THE LAND!)
WATCH THE HUNTERS DIE!
[Chorus - Maximum brutality]
DIRE MIRALIS! SMELTING BLACK DRAGON!
DIRE MIRALIS! THERE'S NO ESCAPIN'!
DIRE MIRALIS! LORD OF HELLFIRE AND CALAMITY!
DIRE MIRALIS! I AM THE FINALITY!
[Verse 2 - Still relentless]
Underwater, on the land, I switch between at will
My glowing cores are weak points—GO AHEAD, TAKE YOUR SHOT, I'M STILL
STANDING when you break them, ARMOR MODE when I'm half dead
PURPLE SHARPNESS BOUNCES OFF—what was that you said?
Dragonator inside a ship? I've been stabbed before
The first one's still inside my back—I USE IT AS DECOR
Meteor Storm, I curl and roar, the sky begins to fall
You thought Fatalis was scary? I'm the one who ENDS IT ALL
[Pre-Chorus 2]
BOIL! (THE SEA!)
BURN! (THE SKY!)
CRUSH! (THE LAND!)
NOW WATCH THE HUNTERS—
[Chorus]
DIRE MIRALIS! SMELTING BLACK DRAGON!
DIRE MIRALIS! THERE'S NO ESCAPIN'!
DIRE MIRALIS! LORD OF HELLFIRE AND CALAMITY!
DIRE MIRALIS! I AM THE FINALITY!
[Bridge - Slows to a crawl, crushing weight]
[Spoken, barely audible over feedback]
They say I'm related to Fatalis...
That we share blood... share form... share destruction...
[Long pause, then ROAR]
FATALIS IS MY COUSIN.
I AM THE VOLCANO.
I AM THE TSUNAMI.
I AM THE REASON THE TAINTED SEA IS TAINTED.
[Band explodes back in]
BECAUSE I FILLED IT WITH CORPSES.
[Guitar Solo - Absolutely unhinged, sweep picking, dive bombs]
[Breakdown - Circle pit instructions for the apocalypse]
LEFT SIDE! (CRUSH!)
RIGHT SIDE! (BURN!)
CENTER PIT! (OVERTURN!)
EVERYBODY DIVE! (DROWN!)
EVERYBODY DIE! (CROWN!)
EVERYBODY FEEL THE HEAT! (HEAT!)
DIRE MIRALIS WINS—COMPLETE!
[Final Chorus - Double time, chaos incarnate]
DIRE MIRALIS! (DIRE MIRALIS!)
SMELTING BLACK DRAGON! (SMELTING BLACK DRAGON!)
DIRE MIRALIS! (DIRE MIRALIS!)
THERE'S NO ESCAPIN'! (NO ESCAPIN'!)
DIRE MIRALIS! (DIRE MIRALIS!)
LORD OF HELLFIRE AND CALAMITY! (CALAMITY!)
DIRE MIRALIS! (DIRE MIRALIS!)
I AM THE—
[Outro - Sudden silence. Then dripping water. Then heartbeat.]
[Whispered, echoing]
Thump... thump... thump...
My heart beats on...
Long after you're gone...
[Heartbeat slows... stops?]
[Then one final, thunderous]
THUMP.
[Final sound - Distant underwater explosion, bubbles rising, silence]
