Lyrics
Intro
Sounds of a rowdy tavern: clinking mugs, distant laughter. A lone, melancholic folk violin starts a simple melody. Then, the beat drops: a heavy, tribal kick drum like a foot stomping, and a sharp, metallic snare
Verse 1
Stone and steel, the city's hum,
But in this hall, the real drums come.
They build their towers, watch 'em rust,
This old wood table holds our trust.
Got dust on my knuckles, scars on my soul,
But this beer in my hand makes me feel whole.
Chorus
The full band explodes. Distorted bagpipes wail. A massive, festive choir of deep male voices sings in powerful, joyous Bavarian German. Hand claps and mug-clinking percussion join in
Prost, ihr Kumpanen!
Bier für die Schlacht!
Hoch die Krüge, Brüder!
Der Bebe lebt noch!
Verse 2
The world outside is a glitchy mess,
A broken promise, I must confess.
But here the rhythm's true and clear,
Washes away all the doubt and the fear.
One more round for the stories told,
For the young and the brave, for the wise and the old!
Chorus
The energy is even higher. More chaotic, more joyous. The choir sounds like the whole tavern is singing
Prost, ihr Kumpanen!
Bier für die Schlacht!
Hoch die Krüge, Brüder!
Der Bebe lebt noch!
Bridge
The heavy beat and bagpipes cut out, leaving only a funky bassline, the violin playing a sad but hopeful melody, and the sounds of the tavern
Outro
The final chorus crashes back in, twice as powerful. The song ends with a final, unified shout of "PROST!", followed by the sound of dozens of mugs slamming down on the tables at once, and then, a satisfied, rhythmic belch. Silence
