Mountain of Sleep

[Intro - Thick, fuzzy bass. Slow, heavy drums. Coughing.]
[Deep, slurred voice]
Maaaaan... I'm so... rock-y...

[Verse 1 - Slow, sludgy, heavily distorted]
Woke up in the volcanic hollow, took a thousand years to swallow
Everything I ate is lava, burning slow just like my saga
Body thick, no thoughts inside, armored up and fossilized
When I move, the mountain shakes, when I sleep, the ground just bakes
They call me Gravios, son of Basarios, twice the rock, twice the glow
Crust so thick your weapons bounce—maybe try again below

[Pre-Chorus - Still slow, building pressure]
Heat beam... charging...
Sleep gas... spreading...
Hunters... coughing...
This fight... is never-ending...

[Chorus - Maximum fuzz, headbanging slow]
GRAVIOS! MOUNTAIN OF SLEEP!
GRAVIOS! ARMOR SO DEEP!
GRAVIOS! FIRE THAT CREEPS!
GRAVIOS! YOUR SHARPNESS WEAKENS AND WEEPS!

[Verse 2 - Bass solo underneath]
My son Basarios is smaller, younger, not as tall or older
He pretends he's me sometimes, but his gas don't hit these climbs
I've been here since before the Guild, before the hunters learned to build
Weapons that could crack my shell—they still bounce, what the hell?
Sleep gas first to make you drowsy, then the heat beam makes you toasty
If you somehow dodge both those, I'll just roll and watch you squirm
Twenty tons of rocky firm

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Heat beam... (CHARGING!)
Sleep gas... (SPRAYING!)
Hunters... (DROWSY!)
This fight... is never-ending...

[Chorus]
GRAVIOS! MOUNTAIN OF SLEEP!
GRAVIOS! ARMOR SO DEEP!
GRAVIOS! FIRE THAT CREEPS!
GRAVIOS! YOUR SHARPNESS WEAKENS AND WEEPS!

[Bridge - Spoken, extremely slow]
[Echoed, distant]
They brought a Gunlance once...
Thought they were clever...
Thought shelling would break my back...
[Deep chuckle]
...I'm still here.
They're not.

[Guitar Solo - Just one note held for 30 seconds with heavy feedback]

[Breakdown - Absolute slowest possible tempo]
ROCK... (STOMP!)
FIRE... (BLAST!)
SLEEP... (GAS!)
FOREVER... LAST...
ROCK... (STOMP!)
FIRE... (BLAST!)
SLEEP... (GAS!)
NOTHING... MOVES... FAST...

[Final Chorus - Even slower, somehow]
GRAVIOS... (GRAVIOS...)
MOUNTAIN OF SLEEP... (MOUNTAIN OF SLEEP...)
GRAVIOS... (GRAVIOS...)
ARMOR SO DEEP... (ARMOR SO DEEP...)
GRAVIOS... (GRAVIOS...)
FIRE THAT CREEPS... (FIRE THAT CREEPS...)
GRAVIOS... (GRAVIOS...)
...your sharpness... weakens... and... weeps...

[Outro - Fading bass note, single cough]
[Whispered, barely audible]
...so heavy...
[Snoring starts]
...zzzz...
...zzzz...
[Final snore becomes a low rumble, then silence]
